SUMMARY:

• I’ve spent my career developing software for large distributed systems, designing and implementing appealing and user - engaging applications, while continuously improving my people skills.
• In recent years the focal point of my experience has been front-end technologies using JavaScript (vanilla js, object-oriented js, node js, angularjs, protractor, jquery, ext js, grunt, gulp, yui, require js, react js, d3, jasmine, mocha, among other arcane libraries), CSS (compass, sass, less, css1, css2, and css3 with strength in cross-browser and cross-device debugging), and HTML/HTML5. I’ve also contributed extensively to various projects using Node, Java, PHP, MySQL, MSSQL, MongoDB, Hadoop, ColdFusion, providing RESTful web services, websockets and APIs.
• Other experience I’ve acquired throughout my journey is the various testing frameworks (jasmine, mocha, junit, nodeunit, protractor, selenium), continuous integration software (jenkins, codeship), documentation methods (g3doc, javadoc, jsdoc), version control systems (git5, perforce, git, svn), code reviewing tools (critique, github), different IDE’s (cider, intellij, eclipse, sublime, vim), Confidential apps (buganizer, jira, rally, asana, bugzilla), operating systems (linux, mac, windows), and different working techniques (agile, scrum, waterfall).
• My education and experience in the design field has also given me an upper hand in the quality of my work. As a former graphic artist I’m able to easily coordinate with design teams, operate the latest design software, relay the proper message to the public, and produce impressive applications.

PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE:

Software Engineer

Confidential

Responsibilities:

• Communication between teams is very difficult inside a large organization and the experience learned is almost impossible without a direct knowledge transfer.
• For this position, a number of engineers were hired to build a ‘Lessons Learned’ project.
• This project would allow everyone inside the company to share their experience and their insights of their work.
• If something went wrong or something went right, this application would know.
• Working with hundreds of hits per hour on a distributed set of systems, we needed to maintain a stable, scalable and self-learning application to provide the communication gap between teams. When a team learns the mistakes of others, it saves the company millions in recalled products.
• The challenge of this project was to build a high-performing NodeJS application using angular and the latests build tools communicating with a backend that would integrate a useful search capability and self-learning infrastructure. All using the AWS tools and maintaining a stable pipeline..

Skills used: javascript, angular, node js, protractor, jasmine, git, intellij, vim, web services, api development, html5, css3, compass, aws, distributed systems, continuous integration, security, people skills.
