📖 Summary
Intern - Command and Data Hardware @ Boeing From June 2012 to August 2012 (3 months) Houston, Texas AreaQuality Assurance Intern @ Cooper Lighting & Safety From June 2011 to August 2011 (3 months) Peachtree City, GeorgiaTest Engineer @ Texas Instruments At TI I wrote an iOS app that communicated with haptic chips over Bluetooth, and the app was used to demonstrate uses for haptic microchips to customers faster and more efficiently. I also worked on test programs for haptic chips to decrease test time, efficiency, and reliability, and investigated yield loss patterns in the silicon fabrication plant. From August 2013 to June 2014 (11 months) Dallas/Fort Worth AreaChief Technology Officer @ Worldwide Machinery Worldwide Machinery offers heavy machinery rentals. I was recruited by the executive team to join Worldwide as CTO and lead internal IT and internal software development initiatives. During my year there we modernized a proprietary .NET inventory system by reducing technical debt, enabled one-click continuous (zero-downtime) deployments in under 30 seconds, and I led a design and development of a mobile web app using Express and ReactJS. I also recruited and developed a team of four engineers. From October 2015 to October 2016 (1 year 1 month) Houston, Texas AreaHead of Engineering @ BrightHire Engineering Manager @ Compass From May 2019 to June 2020 (1 year 2 months) Greater New York City AreaDirector of Engineering @ meshify Meshify provides an IOT platform and services to enable customers to easily deliver complex hardware solutions. As Director of Engineering I lead a growing team of engineers that works on building new features and improving the platform. Significant projects under my leadership have included: • Increased platform's message processing performance by 1700x by migrating from Node.js to Go, optimizing database access and indexing, batching calls to AWS SQS, and leveraging Go’s concurrency model in the new design. • Improved deployments from four hours to five minutes by using AWS Elastic Beanstalk with TeamCity scripts, and made further deployment improvements on the rewritten IoT platform leading to on-demand deploys with no downtime and five second turnarounds.• Implemented a local development proxy to load HTML/CSS/JavaScript files from a local computer, forward API requests to remote servers, and reload browsers automatically when files changed. This increased front-end development speed 10x.• Successfully delivered a legacy platform rewrite on-time in under eight months that included 130+ API endpoints, 10 data pipeline services, and two front-end SPA apps. • Architected a fault-tolerant data pipeline consisting of 10 separate Go services capable of processing hundreds of millions of messages per day. These perform functions such as alarms, notifications, data persistence, and custom JS code execution, communicate through NSQ, are built into Docker images, and are orchestrated by Rancher Cattle.
