I helped clients realize their technological vision by planning and developing customized solutions tailored to their needs, timeline and budget. I specialized in leveraging modern web technologies to provide strategic technical guidance, including: • Developing PWAs, Google Doc add-ons, API integrations, data pipelines, and static sites to streamline business processes. • Architecting cloud-based solutions on platforms like AWS, GCP, Serverless, React, Node.js, GraphQL, PostgreSQL and more. • Leading planning discussions to deeply understand client goals and challenges. • Providing tailored strategic counsel on feasibility, scoping, and technical direction. The role allowed me to combine my hands-on engineering skills with strategic consulting abilities to translate client visions into technology success stories.
I upgraded the architecture of a remote learning platform for enhanced scalability. The enhanced system was adopted by over 14 learning institutions to serve three university accredited courses. My contributions included: • Leveraging AWS Lambda, JavaScript, and PHP to enable integration with Moodle. • Architecting a solution that could scale to support growing needs across multiple institutions. • Working cross-functionally to ensure the platform could support key requirements.
As Technical Lead for engineering initiatives at a media company, I defined architectures and engineered scalable solutions leveraging cloud technologies to achieve speed and global reach, including: • Directed localization and internationalization of a CMS platform enabling launch of 27 products across 11 countries in under 1 year • Built an automated ETL system on AWS that slashed website migration time from weeks to hours through scaleable serverless architecture • Provided team leadership through hiring, training, sprint planning, and code reviews. The Technical Lead role provided great exposure to architecting cloud-based solutions and balancing technical delivery with team management responsibilities.
