Software Developer in St. Louis, MO, United States

In order to better predict yield and guarantee quality, Monsanto needed a way to collect data from the field and run intelligence on the data. I joined their team as a consultant and helped them develop a system for collecting scientific observations and use the data in models to predict business outcomes.

This project consisted of building a service that pulls data from 12 travel partners and processes the result to produce the cheapest way to get from a specific US city to another at any given time. My role in the project was to architecture and built the solution. I decided to implement the service in Go due to Go’s support for concurrency at the language level and also for its support for functional programming. For each incoming request, the service initiates on average 8,000 HTTP requests and processes the result using Map and Filter functions.

This project consisted of building a system that allows 4 airports and 5 airlines in Australia to exchange travel information. Requirements were given to us (a group of 2 developers) by the client and we were responsible for turning the requirements into user stories, and architecting/implementing the solution. The project was implemented with Java to simplify integration with the client’s existing infrastructure. The project successfully launched and the system handles on average 5,000 flight messages every 10min between those 4 airports and 5 airlines.

This project is was primarily a user interface built with Vue that allowed a Clinical Trial company to design and create rules used to determine the validity of the results of clinical trials. Because those rules are defined by the FDA and change over time, the UI had to be flexible and allow to create new rules that can be applied to existing trial data. The application was successfully built, deployed and used by 2 departments to process about 30,000 clinical trials.
