• Through reflection and the abstract factory design pattern, dynamically loaded assemblies that matched a given interface at service start time—enabling developers to focus on implementation of new components without having to integrate service related responsibilities, ultimately speeding up development and time-to-market.
• Collaborated with peers on the development team to build large, multi-tiered, distributed applications for both internal and external use.
• Engaged in Agile team practices such as backlog grooming, release planning, sprint planning, daily scrum meetings, user story writing, and working towards incremental feature construction.
• Improved developer productivity and simplified deployments by introducing and implementing JetBrains’ TeamCity continuous integration and Octopus automated deployment server.
• Under a shortened timeline with a tight deadline, successfully developed and released an integral web API for external customers to provide creating and managing jobs for accessing Twitter data when Twitter announced that it would no longer work with third-parties like DataSift.
• Constructed and integrated a module to authenticate with Amazon Web Services and ultimately read data from and deliver data to S3 buckets, using the AWS SDK for .NET.
• Used Windows Workflow Foundation to model the control flow of a long-running process that manages Amazon Redshift database query queues.
• Built a web API to assist external customers in onboarding large amounts of data (hundreds of GBs at a time), fed data to existing modelling processes, and integrated data into multi-terabyte datasets for user retrieval.
• Built user-interface examples using HTML5, AngularJS, jQuery, CSS, etc to support and expedite customer integration with APIs.
• Connected to disparate data systems such as, Solr, Impala, Hive, Hadoop, MySQL, 3rd party APIs and more, to retrieve data and deliver information to customers.
