Work Experience

Technical Team Lead

2016 - PRESENT

Mikenopa

Built a service-based system for hotel internet provider and conference management; using RESTful services, JSON API specification, and micro-services architecture.
Changed-out an outdated development style (consisting of individual project owners) into a modern team-based development methodology, including best practices like team-driven architectural decisions, code review, automated testing, and CI. By doing so I enabled work to be prioritized and done as a team at a faster pace, eliminated single points of failure, and ensured that delivered systems adhered to the original design specification (unlike the previous development methods).
