I designed, developed, and deployed the DAYTA Dashboard, which helps our account management team scale nationally by enhancing client transparency, improving internal accountability, and automating KPI reports.

• Using Meteor.js, Blaze, and Sass, I developed both the front-end and back-end for the application.
• Designed and implemented a MongoDB schema for data storage and access.
• Used AWS t2 micro instances via Meteor Galaxy to achieve horizontal scalability.
• Created integration tests using Selenium (WebDriver IO) and unit tests using Mocha.js.
• Implemented continuous delivery via Codeship.

At NativeX I led an awesome team of engineers responsible for many facets of the NativeX mobile ad platform. I was responsible for project management, development, and customer support for our client-facing iOS and Android SDKs, back-end C# WCF API, and Cassandra database.

• Acted as the primary solution engineer for more than 10 accounts generating $500,000 in revenue per year or more. I was the main technical contact for our sales team.
• Created a configurable internal video ad previewer using Angular.js that saved our account management team 10+ hours per week trying to test ads.
• I was the resident bug-fixer and hacker. I once found a workaround to stop the bleeding on a bug that saved us tens of thousands of dollars over waiting for the root-cause fix.
• Implemented a training program that reduced our developer onboarding time from 180 to 90 days.
• Improved our roadmap completion percentage from under 80% to over 90% by getting clearer requirements on stories.
• Maintained a 100% voluntary employee retention rate even as our product group was cut from 40 to 15.

As a software engineer I developed features for FlipToast, a social media aggregation app for Facebook and Twitter with 700,000 monthly active users available on iOS, Android, Windows and Windows 8 until November 2012.

• Using JavaScript, ActionScript, C#, and SQL Server, I created a system that allowed us to mix native advertising into social media notifications. This ended up being the primary monetization strategy for the app.
• Prototyped and deployed the first three-node Cassandra cluster in the organization to handle FlipToast's tracking data in coordination with our infrastructure team.

As a software engineering intern at SAP I worked on hardware scalability tests for the SAP Data Quality Management SDK. I wrote tests in Java, C#, and C++ connecting to a MySQL database filled with address data to see how the DQM SDK scaled with various hardware configurations and programming languages.
