An Asset Capability Statement (ACS) is an enduring schedule of information parameters about assets connected to the power system. Asset owners are obliged by law to complete a relevant ACS
whenever commissioning, decommissioning, or modifying their assets. This portal acts as an electronic document management system with a specific use case. I designed REST APIs, architected and implemented database schemas, implemented database migration scripts, and grew a robust CI/CD pipeline.

The ministry described the project as the most complex IT project in the education sector in over five years. The ESL upgrade project moved 70,000+ users onto a new central identity and access management system. This project represents a quantum leap in the IAM system used by the ministry. Challenges included using Agile to develop, deliver, and support a project with so many interested government parties. This allowed me to teach other teams how to work in Agile and provide an example of how this should look.

I ensured Agile was followed and provided out-of-the-box thinking. I pushed development one step further from what was expected. Thanks to the managers offering me this opportunity, I could take a bold approach resulting in the use of technologies allowing repeatable and consistent deployments using a custom pipeline using Ansible. I implemented the first version of a fully Ansible-described solution, which eventually became the core of how things are developed locally and deployed through all staging environments.

Wayfair Inc. has many orders that should be delivered on time and cost-effectively. Routing boxes from the moment they enter the delivery network, through many warehouses, and finally to the customer. The task the Network Optimization team oversees is maximizing the Wayfair delivery network capabilities by optimizing the movement of every order through the network, considering dynamic trade-offs between cost, speed, and reliability. Among other responsibilities, my contribution included designing the network in Neo4j and linking the performance of path finding and high throughput of queries.

The Reserve Bank of New Zealand (RBNZ) released its revised BS11 Outsourcing Policy (BS11) in 2017. The purpose of a separation plan is to enable the bank to provide for the steps it would take to ensure a bank's outsourcing arrangements can continue to be provided following its
failure.

My role is to help the agile sprint team to transform an old monolithic application that processes wholesale market foreign exchange payments into a modern microservices structured solution. I focused on applying lean development techniques and leading my peers in that direction via peer reviews. I also followed what the Spring framework offered out of the box, making sure there were no custom-made components that didn't fit the Spring ecosystem.
