I’m a full stack software developer who can build apps from the ground up. I've worked mostly small teams so I am use to wearing many hats. I am a very product focussed developer who priotizes user sentiment first and foremost. I'm generally very flexible when investigating new roles.

Full Stack Developer

Global Business Services – Financial Crime Technologies.

Highlights

  • Modernize and simplify the TRMS UI and the backend functionality to address gaps in the reporting and tracking of sales abuse practices. In order to help close these gaps, improvements were identified to enhance The Referral Management System (TRMS), the enterprise solution in place for associates to escalate potentially suspicious activity. These improvements would create efficiencies making the tool more straight forward and easier for an associate to navigate and submit a pertinent referral which can be reviewed properly by investigating business partners.
  • Supported the TRMS DR run/test and validated TRMS Contingency.
  • Completed the TRMS SDM adoption by migrating TRMS source code from SVN to BitBucket, setting up the CI/CD pipelines with Jenkins, Artifactory and Ansible Tower.
  • Completed the TRMS Splunk set up by coming up with the TRMS log inventory for the Apache HTTP Web Server, Tomcat, TRMS UI Web App and TRMS Batch jobs, installing the Splunk Forwarders in the TRMS Web/App Servers and by working with the Splunk resource to configure TRMS logs in the Splunk dashboard.
  • Gained knowledge of TRMS, ARL, and EPNG, some knowledge of CheckWatch and WireWatch applications by diligently supporting the release work and production issues. Supported DR test/run for TRMS, ARL, and EPNG.
  • Migrate ARL and EPNG applications from the CHP Platform to the AppHost Platform to new hardware, RHEL 7.x, latest Apache HTTP Web Servers, latest WebLogic App Servers, Java 8, latest Oracle database in DBaaS Exadata and others. Since we upgraded from Java 7 to Java 8 I had to refactor all the applications to be able to work properly with Java 8.
  • The DevCon Hackathon took off as an idea I had to exponentially innovate the process for time to market. I presented this idea to the DevCon committee in March 2018 and they loved the idea and said that we could do the Hackathon as part of DevCon in Texas in October 2018. From this point, several volunteers and I worked together during our lunch break to make the Hackathon possible.
  • Assisted in the ARL/EPNG SDM adoption by providing guidance on the guidance on how to migrate source code from SVN to BitBucket, setting up the CI/CD pipelines with Jenkins, Artifactory and Ansible Tower.
