Software Development Engineer @ Here at Amazon I am Developing at Amazon Scale, raising the bar and working with a massive distributed system to process financial and accounting events. We deploy onto the Cloud and I spearheaded a migration to have our primary developer desktops on the cloud as well. Amazon Scale - The systems I program for handle tens of millions of dollars in transactions a day. Raising the bar - I have been leading the team to improve code quality with the creation of coding standards as well as documenting new in-house technologies and "tribal knowledge". Massive distributed system - Our web services are called by a dozen different systems and send data to another half-dozen. This is back-end programming at it's finest. I was an excellent engineer before Amazon, but they have helped me improve further into being truly world-class. Working as a contractor via Harvey Nash.
