looking for new opportunities at this time. A software developer at heart. I am passionate about web development and upcoming technologies because it's a constantly changing field which happens to go together with my thirst for knowledge. I can pick up new technologies and develop with them at a fairly quick pace.

• Pushed for a new testing standard & pattern that allowed for more confident releases and ease for other engineers to extend and add on to the testing pattern
• Integrated a Terraform Cloud pipeline solution to allow for easier maintainability and more confident deployment patterns when having to work with infrastructure changes
• Worked cross team engineers to develop solutions due to drastic time commitments from other teams, allowing for progress to be made without sacrificing other initiatives
• Instrumented SASL/SCRAM authentication for MSK to allow for more secure connections and control on what a certain consumer/publisher can do.
• Created and advocated for a cert environment to allow for backend teams to safely test their features to allow for more confident releases before deploying to stage

• Refactored files that had redundant content and functions and consolidated files that had similar tasks in Angular.
• Developed and created React components that were written in Angular 1.X which utilize Redux for a code refactor which will allow for easier future development.
• Mentoring future new hires about React/Redux and easing them into how the development process and style is handled.
• Created a resuable boilerplate for React apps within THD that used Node.Js to inject Header/Footer contents into the main app.
• Refactored a JQuery NPM module into a React app that utilizes React Portals and Event Handling to allow for easier testing as well as easeability in future developing.
• Integrated 2FA functionality for users in THD to verify themselves via email or text and then worked with other teams to help integrate this into their app.
• Developed pipelines that runs unit tests as well as builds repo to ensure the built files are working and being built as intended.
