PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

Confidential

Responsibilities:

• Created Tomcat hosted web app using JQuery/JavaScript/Html/CSS used by salespeople in 350 stores in US, Canada, and Puerto Rico to enroll over 2 million customers since its release on May 18, 2016.
• Created CI/CD pipeline for Confidential Rewards web app using Jenkins to build (wif Maven), test (Selenium tests for UI regression testing, Java unit tests, and Sonar for static code analysis), and deploy (to a dedicated VM server).
• Promoted teh move toward TDD by incorporating teh Jasmine test framework into JavaScript development cycle and tan integrated Jasmine tests into CI/CD pipeline via Grunt.
• Modified Java backend services to enhance interaction wif Customer data services and Rewards data services.
• Wrote tests for contractors working on new features and code reviewed C#, JavaScript, Objective-C, Java, PowerShell and VBScript code dat implemented teh features.
• After releasing teh Rewards web app to production, I moved to teh Rewards API team to create APIs for interaction wif Customer Data to avoid duplicated effort across Client teams during next phase of development.
• Refactored existing APIs to improve reliability and performance of async calls.
• Developed APIs in C# using TDD wif NUnit.
• Participated in design, evolution, and maintenance of AWS build pipeline using a Develop environment for unit tests, acceptance tests, and performance tests, tan an always-available Integration environment for partner testing. Prod deployments were triggered manually once a week or every other week, depending on retail schedule. (Services were deployed to EC2 instances behind Load Balancers to maintain 24/7 availability.)
• Configured and monitored an alarm system using Splunk logging, Kibana, Amazon Cloud Watch, and PagerDuty to measure, report and alert reliability and availability goals.
• Coordinated development and release of new features on short notice, including working wif Web team and Customer Information team to provide new APIs to allow customers to enroll at checkout on Confidential .com. Feature was developed and successfully released in two weeks, in time for teh holiday season code freeze. Teh feature led to an additional 150,000 enrollments over teh 2016 holiday shopping season.
• Assisted wif teh creation of a monitoring and incident management blueprint to be used by teh rest of Confidential Engineering.
• Documented APIs through Swagger do tie documentation and development together in a unified and automated process.
• Built web app for providing test content to be used by partner teams during integration testing. (Previously, test data creation was a manual and time-intensive process, and dis led to inadequate test coverage.) Backend was written using Nodejs on an Express server dat provided APIs dat could be leveraged by partner teams’ automation. Added a Bootstrap/JQuery/Jade/CSS frontend to provide a UI for clients to create on-demand test content.
