• Senior Software Engineer

  • Jan 2017 - Mar 2022

  Created an array of integrations, from simple CLI wrappers to sophisticated multi-module Artifactory plugins that exposed their own REST api. Also developed a web of supporting libraries for integrating with RESTful architectures, Synopsys products, and analytics through Google Analytics. Worked cross-team on a SAST analysis product as a CI/CD integration expert to architect and develop SCM integrations. Went from 0 to idiomatic Rust developer in a matter of weeks. Presented resulting integrations to the business unit and fielded technical Q&A. Wrote and owned Jenkins integrations with three Synopsys products and common libraries for integrating Synopsys products with Jenkins. Co-created a multi-package-manager integration that evolved into a product CLI, wrote and owned several of the package-manager specific 'detectables' that gathered dependency hierarchies. Absorbed several No Fluff Just Stuff conferences, then championed team-shaping practices like embracing functional Java APIs, adopting Angular format commit messages, and the importance and value of atomic commits and branches. Refactored the REST architecture of a Spring Boot/React web application from generic data objects to concrete architecture and created confluence artifacts to train the team on the process. Championed code quality for the team through SonarCloud: responsible for coordinating with developers to configure and maintain project-tailored quality gates. Fostered a strong rapport within and without my team; praised by more senior developers for my voracity to learn, by more junior developers for my availability and enthusiasm to pair and mentor, and hand-picked by my manager to seed their new team for my can-do attitude and agility in learning and delivering, Show less

  • May 2012 - Jul 2012

  I worked (largely on my own) on a Java-based internally used program that was designed to facilitate testing by translating documents of varying types into an easy-to-read grid-based format, and allowing the data stored therein to be manipulated in a specified manner. Also implemented functionality so that basic mathematical functions could be performed between cells.
