TECHNICAL EXPERIENCE:

Confidential, Portland, OR

Software Developer / Team Lead / SCRUM Master

Responsibilities:

• Team Lead and SCRUM Master of a many project teams throughout my tenure. The primary focus of these teams was to implement stories surrounding the core architecture, case manager and the administration areas of the solution. Each two week sprint the code we delivered was expected to have unit tests and be “production ready” before delivering to the QA integration and regression environments
• Technical Lead and mentor. Confidential only had a few senior and many mid to junior level engineers. As such I was always available and easy to approach. This allowed other engineers to feel comfortable approaching me to provide help and mentoring when they felt they needed it. I defined software best practices as well as did code reviews across many teams to ensure these practices were being followed. This also allowed me to get feedback from the team to ensure their ideas were vetted and implemented when applicable.
• Solution Architect of the “Core Services” architecture. Once we decided on our new approach I was chosen to lead this project due to my experience in translating legacy logic into highly maintainable, scalable, business services.
