PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE:

Confidential

web developer

Responsibilities:

• I serve my team most by being a leader, managing workloads and individual task assignments responsibilities, negotiating deadlines and priorities with the account team, while at the same time functioning as a utility player that can tackle larger site migration efforts, or the more mundane bug fixing that can happen in any of the dozen different systems that CCAH supports across it's 15~ digital clients.

Confidential

Technical Director

Responsibilities:

• As the technical director, I was responsible for all software development, including team development practices, code review policies, and release management. Subject Matter was an ad agency/public affairs shop and most of our work involved building visually impressive Wordpress sites and ad content for our clients, who ranged from government projects, NGO advocacy organizations, and private organizations.
• I had 4 direct reports, not including a half dozen freelancers our agency worked with. I collaborated with art directors, PMs, and the interactive department's leadership to champion a modern production workflow for the agencies web projects. I worked with the interactive department head to define and implement the agency's technology roadmap, with an emphasis on formalizing a hardened, efficient Wordpress stack (our core offering for interactive projects) managed with Docker and employing open source solutions more generally.
• Day to day responsibilities included people management, building pixel perfect Wordpress sites from Photoshop comps, and primarily performing any DevOps related task for the 30+ websites I was responsible for. I was also responsible for developing the technical plan for every single website we built (primarily Wordpress, but some Drupal and some Angular.js / Node.JS projects), and our department specialized in particular in doing in-depth data visualizations using D3.js and Raphael.js

Confidential

Senior Web Application Developer

Responsibilities:

• As a member of the electronic publishing team, I built and executed on a plan to unify the disparate processes the APA relied on to publish academic content on a weekly basis to their PsycNET platform and other academic publishers. The old process was entirely developer driven task that could take several days to complete, which I streamlined down to half a day while I continued to work with stakeholders to build a more forward thinking long term solution.
• The application I was building was primarily to unify these processes was a Node.js web app powered by a MarkLogic NoSQL database, but my day to day required me to also go through Ruby and Python code.

Confidential

Technical Consultant

Responsibilities:

• As a government contractor, I worked on a number of different projects while at Confidential in a number of different capacities. My time was split primarily between working on content management systems (primarily Drupal) and building a custom LAMP application that allowed people to manage multiple cloud service providers through a single web portal (named "Olympus).
• For my CMS projects, I worked on teams from 2 to 20 people with a particular emphasis on modernizing the development workflow. I worked on implementing preprocessors (SASS), did some rapid prototyping, migrated version control to Gil, wrote unit tests, and on unifying all of these tasks into our issue tracker's workflow (Jira).
• For the Olympus project, I implemented the Amazon Web Services PHP API into our application, wrote the technical plan for a number of new features, including our detailed billing module, building out the database structure for other cloud service provider APIs (like Azure and GoogleCloud). I also had a number of AW S DevOps responsibilities, primarily as they related to tightening the security of our cloud servers inside GovCloud.

Confidential

Senior Web Developer

Responsibilities:

• As Confidential 's lone developer, I replaced the defunct Java web application that the company used to track its day to day business operations with a new PHP application. Confidential identifies corporate tax credits companies are eligible for, particularly ones associated with hiring employees. The application I built gave our clients the ability to easily screen employees for credit eligibility, monitor and attach relevant documentation, integrate with other hiring portals, and track all associated financial transactions for the process. All code I wrote was for a LAMP stack (using MSSQL).
• I worked directly with the technical director to identify and codify all the business rules, simplifying and documenting functionality that needed to be ported from the old application. I identified and fixed areas where our existing reporting was inaccurate. Company productivity and billing accuracy greatly improved as a result of the new application.
• Developing an automated form scanner which took handfilled paperwork and wrote its contents into our database.
• Normalizing our MSSQL database
• Optimizing SQL queries for large datasets (10 million+ records)
• Defining basic development and deployment standards for the organization -Developing our company's public facing Wordpress site

Confidential

Front End Web Developer

Responsibilities:

• As a short term contract worker supporting the work of Confidential 's academic publishing division, I prototyped a web application that replaced traditionally static academic journal content (like PDFs) with web ready interactive content (heavily reliant on new HTML5 standards and Javascript driven data visualizations using D3.js and SVG).
• My day to day work was in Javascript/CSS/HTML5, with some supporting database work in PostgresSQL, Marklogic, and general XML work.

Confidential

Junior Web Developer

Responsibilities:

• As a member of a ~5 person dev team, I implemented the design plans for the enterprise resource planner (ERP) that CAP was building. We worked in a Java/IBM DB2 stack for the IBM iSeries primarily, with a supporting RedHat linux server.
• Ensuring full Sarbanes-Oxley compliance for all of our transactions -Performance tuning SQL queries to support our multiple 10 million + record sets -Designing and coding a proprietary licensing algorithm for our application
• Designing and coding a custom translation feature to add multi-lingual support to our application -Implementing financial report generators that spit out data in interactive HTML documents, client ready PDFs, or accountant ready Excel files
