Aug 2014 - Present
As the principal developer on the project, I oversee all technical aspects of a web application used by over 18,000 law enforcement officers in all 50 states. The web application consists of a REST API on the back end consumed by a Single-Page Application (SPA) front-end. Both components are hosted in the cloud, on Amazon Web Services. While building and improving our API, I've had the opportunity to develop in PHP, Java with the Spring Framework and Python using Django with Django Rest Framework. I was singularly responsible for System Administration (Debian Linux) during the first years of the project, until I facilitated our application's transition to Amazon's GovCloud in 1Q 2018. I have proven, hands-on experience working with Amazon services including: S3, Elastic Beanstalk, VPC, EC2, DynamoDB, RDS, SNS, SES, Lambda, Cloudfront and Route53. Show less
