SUMMARY:

• I am a fullstack javascript engineer. I enjoy working on line of business apps and am a strong proponent of solid design principles and tdd. I have used agile for project management for many years in many forms and believe in it. I am interested in finding a business and team that has strong, mature (jr and sr) developers, who desire to build products that will be maintainable, scalable and successful.
• I am a big proponent of event sourcing, cqrs, and functional programming. My personal work is heavily based in these patterns and enjoy bringing them with me to the workplace when possible.
• I actively participate in the javascript community, I have started a google group for functional programming in javascript and have a number of packages on npm. I am also very active in the downtown react meetup.

• Used react, relay, redux and flow on the front end.
• Made minor changes to GraphQL on the back end.
• Built a large part of our Community Advocate tool, a call center application for assigning agents to advocates via region, displaying and editing the advocate profile information, logging calls and emails and assigning advocates to events.
• Created new schemas, domain objects and GraphQL endpoints on the backend.
• Used react, relay and flow on the front end.

Sr Developer

• Worked on a tool that allowed students, professors and peers to all work on, review and grade written papers
• Instructor defines number of drafts and criteria then assigns to students
• Students compose a draft and submit it to the instructor.
• Instructors can highlight sections, leave comments and reference material per highlight and return to student.
• Instructors can assign groups of peers to review essays as well.
• Finally instructor grades paper using a criteria rubric.
• Node server was Koa2, using various middlewares including a very nice validation and documentation middleware.
• Postgres database using a node db migration tool for migration scripts.
• React/Redux frontend. Sagas and draftjs being the most interesting parts. webpack 2 for build and deploy with postcss, css modules
• Atlasian toolkit: bitbucket, jira, bamboo, etc.
• Developed and deployed in docker with compose
• Hosted in AWS using docker swarm
• I was responsible for the application architecture and design.
• Choosing and implementing design patterns for the front and back end
• Setting up docker development and deployment
• Implementing TDD tools and patterns
• Webpack setup

Confidential

Sr Developer

• In node.js stack
• Moving entire application suite from MS to Linux/OSX
• Rebuilding as a distributed app using microservices
• Everything in containers (docker)
• Apis using hapi, joi, boom and friends, services as node workers
• Built via tdd
• Tests run in containers
• Integration tests run via docker-compose
• Messaging using RabbitMq
• Read-stores in ElasticSearch
• Write-stores in Postgres
• FrontEnd in Angular
• Deploying to AWS via Jenkins
• Previously, in MS stack
• Re-wrote vendor application (not the gui) using Object Oriented programming, numerous design patterns ( SOLID, strategy, command, double dispatch etc ), TDD, and well organized folder structure.
• Introduced front end infrastructure to replace hodge podge of jquery spread throughout app.
• Used Backbone and a handful of hand rolled services for state management, validation, nav, etc.
• Replaced most hand rolled services with Durandal (single page app framework) at a later date, as it was quite similar, had documentation, and a community behind it.
• Introduced order to a messaging implementation using NServiceBus.
• Refactored or rewrote services to be more autonomous, use dependency injection, etc.
• Created better workflow for the sagas (workflows of more than one service).
• Produced POC of DDD/CQRS/ES using siloed section of our Domain.
• Domain Driven Design, Command Query Responsibility Segregation, and Event Sourcing.
• Used EventStore (geteventstore.com) an immutable event database.
• Built architecture in line with DDD ports and adapters pattern.
• Used messages ( events distributed by eventstore ) to connect each layer of the Bounded Context and to resurface completed state to top layer when done.
• Write side composed aggregate root though replay of domain events.
• Read side was projected to mongo on a projection per view basis.
• Finally retrofitted current UI to use new back end.
• Built services using nodejs to poll AWS-SQS for events.
• Writes events to mongo (SQS is not a permanent record so we are storing them in mongo).
• Posts data to another api to record in company's domain.
• Saved team from TFS.
• Provided the POC, implementation, migration, and branching strategies for move from TFS to Git, Grunt, Jenkins, and Jira.

Confidential

Sole Developer

• Developing synchronous implementation in which: redux calls the api, which sanity checks/validates the request and creates a command.
• Api adds the command to an event stream which is picked up by appropriate command handlers.
• Command Handler hydrates appropriate aggregate root.
• Aggregate root creates domain events which are published to the aggregate’s event stream.
• Projections listen for events and update mongo views.
• Projections emit a completed event which is picked up by the node api.
• Api responds to redux action with success or failure.
• Enabled architecture to allow for each section of the app (Api, Command Handlers, EvenStore, Projections, and Read Views ) to scale at their own rate, and to be highly modular so even separate Command Handlers and Projections can scale independently.
• Committed to implementing further consistency patterns, including socket.io (websockets) and optimistic action handling with redux.

Confidential

Sr Developer

• Demonstrated ability to migrate Webforms to MVC by converting an entire page, navigation, header, authentication, permissions etc to MVC.
• Served on five groups that were formed after successful demonstration of migration, and investigated the best practices and migratory strategies.
• Earned the confidence of senior management and presented an early analysis for implementing NHibernate as an alternative to the current hand rolled ado.net data access layer.
• Contributed refactorings and restructuring where they would be most effective.
• Participated in discussions about the future direction of the platform from a development perspective.
• Teamed with an experienced senior developer, the VP of technology, and a product owner on integrating and/or rewriting the SPA application that was built at Confidential into the Confidential platform.
