Software Developer

Responsibilities:

• Led team of developers in a Greenfield project to replace the previous Terminal Server VB6 Dealership DMS system.
• Created a new and highly scalable architecture accessible through a Microsoft OWIN Web API 2. The infrastructure utilizes MSMQ message queues and NServiceBus to handle distribution allowing for multiple application servers to work together spreading logistics in the most efficient manner.
• Persisted data within MongoDB, our NoSQL database of choice.
• Created a responsive Single Page Application (SPA) client with angularJS and bootstrap CSS.
• Used Grunt to create minified and obfuscated deployable files.
• Used Team City to control packages hosted on our Nuget Server as well as ensure Unit Tests passed before deployment.
• Used Octopus Deploy to control deployments to multiple servers in not only the live site but also Test and QA environments hosted in cloud VM duplicates of the live environment.
• Customers have praised the new platform for its design and usability but are most impressed by the speed in which they are able to move through the system.
• Since the pages are not server side rendered and the only data passed to and from the server is JSON, the performance has been off the charts.
