OrangeWorks — Home Depot’s Technology Innovation Center

Evaluate, prototype, and test innovative technologies in areas such as X-reality (virtual, augmented, and mixed), computer vision, IoT, and more to discover how this bleeding edge tech can shape the future of retail.

Supply Chain

Re-imagined and built a new supply chain distribution network application for the enablement of a ship anything, anywhere initiative at Home Depot. The tool is a conglomerate of single purpose micro-services that are built using a plethora of technologies including Kotlin, GraphQL, CloudSQL, Google Cloud Functions, and Pub/Sub.

MyView

Improved performance of an existing Store Associate facing application by designing and developing a solution in a modern tech stack: GraphQL (Express/Node) and React.

ProXtra

Modernized the back-end of the ProXtra application to utilize common services.

Merchandising

• Architected and built one of Home Depot’s “common services” — high priority enterprise-wide APIs available for internal use. This service was known as Product Catalog and is the one-stop-shop for all information related to product information.

• Built the product catalog services with technologies including Kafka, Google Pub/Sub, Cassandra, Scala, and Spark all running in the Google Cloud Platform.

• Participated in a Pivotal Labs engagement at their Atlanta office in Ponce City Market where I worked closely with a balanced team of engineers, UX designers, and product managers from Home Depot, Pivotal Labs, and Interline Brands to build a solution for merging the two companies’ product catalogs into one.

Supply Chain

• Contributed heavily to a brand new product known as Engineered Flow Schedule. EFS was built with Spring Boot and AngularJS and provided a UI and validation engine for users to manage complex transportation schedules for thousands of boats and trucks without worrying about possible data integrity issues.
