Employment
Experience
- Rackspace Cloud Control Panel (Development)
A legacy web application that provides a control panel for the different hosting and cloud products that Rackspace provides. The project is focused towards maintaining and improving the wep application and accommodating the changes required by the new features and products Rackspace provides.
- Half Price Books (Development)
Developed the eCommerce platform for a major used bookstore with a team of ten, supporting over 8 million products, marketplace, and stock integration.
- Sayish (Development)
Team collaboration tool directed to web development. The tool included a chrome extension (React) that allowed the user to annotate web pages, live or locally, and share the notes within a project/team.
The front-end was React.js, the back-end was fully Node.js, including a system to receive inbound emails to collaborate. - Measured Progress (Development)
Worked as a developer and consultant in a project to migrate a web application to support the creation of K-12 tests and assessments.
The project was heavily based on the client side, using JavaScript and a set of tools to allow editing texts and media. The back-end was C# MVC 2 and NHibernate for persistance. Something compared to a text processor like OpenOffice Writer.
Technology/Tools: JavaScript, C#, Java, HTML, CSS, NHibernate, Web Driver, Git-SVN, MS SQL and JBehave. - Multi-Pipeline Commercial System Suite (Development)
I was part of the team implementing a new web-based commercial systems suite to support the entire North American gas pipeline portfolio, interfacing and co-existing with current legacy systems. As a senior developer, I was actively involved in designing, implementing, and testing new features in an incremental fashion. I also supported the business analysts to identify, define, and analyze these features. As a part of a distributed agile team, I regularly collaborated with business stakeholders, analysts, testers, and other developers.
