Software Engineer with 20+ years of experience in polyglot development and software architecture. Loves working on small startup teams to build new and exciting things. Can design, develop, and deliver scalable systems, while helping others do the same.
Built frontend and backend for the customer portal from scratch using Typescript, Next.js, Tailwind, and PostgreSQL. Developed internal and external APIs to support the creation and management of browser sessions. Created our payment pipeline using Stripe.
Focus on developing backend microservices to drive live interactions and presence detection in remote collaboration software. Services were developed mainly in Golang and Typescript, using a combination of MongoDB and Redis for data storage and caching, and mainly GraphQL for the query interface.
Also worked closely with designers to help define and develop the UI in React, again with Typescript.
Worked with a small, fully remote team to build Bakpax from the ground up using Kotlin, Python, Node, Typescript, and React, running within AWS (Lambda, Dynamo, S3, SNS, SQS, etc.).
Worked directly with CTO to define and implement product and technical direction.
Developing and maintaining microservices in AWS, using Java, Groovy, Dropwizard, MySQL, and Cassandra.
Acting as an Architect for a large scale, server-side application, supporting a team of 50+ engineers.

Lead development and design for several large sections of the product to communicate with many different types of hardware, including servers, switches, PDUs, UPSs, sensors, and other supporting devices, through various TCP/IP protocols, in order to allow customers to manage and configure their hardware in large data centers, and manage their energy usage.
Architected and developed tools to aid in development, test, and error detection that were used by hundreds of people throughout the company, including a hardware simulation suite and a series of automated tools to gather and data mine log files from thousands of systems.
Coordinated with many groups around the world, gathering customer feedback and developing business relationships in order to determine the best direction for the product, and then used that information to drive architectural changes into the products.
Designed and developed a Java and XML based install script framework to simplify the determination and installation of additional hardware and software dependencies.
