As a seasoned and highly skilled Senior Software Engineer, I have been dedicated to designing and developing high-quality software solutions that meet and exceed customer expectations. Throughout my career, I have contributed to the development and implementation of software solutions, mentored junior engineers, and provided technical leadership on complex projects. I excel in multiple programming languages, software architectures, and software development methodologies, specializing in NodeJS, Typescript, Javascript and AWS.
Contract for Salesforce through Insight Global. Software Engineer working on refactoring security training software in Javascript, NodeJS and the salesforce API. Implemented a new training test evaluator API using Chai, NodeJS, and jsforce. Implemented custom open-sourced CTFd Plugin in Python that interfaced with an Agentic AI.
- Revamped automated testing suite by re-architecting CI/CD pipelines, introducing a low-code Playwright, NodeJS, Typescript and Cucumber-based framework, and implementing a CLI tool in NodeJS, Typescript and OCLIF—enabling PMs to write test expectations in Gherkin syntax and increasing test adoption across teams. - Accelerated deployment and improved reliability by optimizing GitLab CI/CD pipelines, reducing test execution time, and collaborating with security teams to integrate a new security framework across production applications. - Developed a metrics dashboard in React, Spring, and Postgres, deployed on Kubernetes in GovCloud, providing real-time insights into test performance and application stability. - Empowered product teams through workshops and documentation, enabling developers to write their own tests, which led to a measurable decrease in code defects and faster development cycles.
- Developed an auditing tool in Angular, ExpressJS, and DynamoDB, automating the assignment of thousands of weekly audits based on auditor availability, audit type, and language—reducing manual effort and improving efficiency through a Lambda-triggered process. - Built a high-performance API in NodeJS and TypeScript to process large biomarker records from a MarkLogic DB cluster, implementing XSLT transformations and a multi-threaded Python script—streamlining data validation, extraction, and publication to a legacy database. - Optimized data workflows by leveraging AWS ECS, SNS, and SQS queues to automate data transfer from source to S3 and ultimately to the legacy system—enhancing scalability and reducing processing time. - Drove test-driven development using Swagger, Postman integration tests, and Jest unit tests, ensuring robust, maintainable code across MongoDB, Angular, React, ExpressJS, and NodeJS applications in an AWS cloud environment.
- Developed a predictive maintenance application using JavaScript, React, SCSS, and the C3 AI Suite—enhancing aviation maintenance efficiency by leveraging AI-driven insights. - Earned Security+ and Six Sigma Specialist certifications, enabling elevated privileged tasks and reinforcing expertise in security best practices and process optimization.
