Experience

Bloomberg LP - Senior Software Engineer (2020 - Present)

Technical lead for client facing projects in which I was responsible for collaborating with engineering and business teams, proactively identifying dependencies and risks, as well as contributing code. Successfully delivered multiple projects on time including one that led to a $350K contract.
Architected and led development on a modular React application that could be deployed within two separate enterprise portals by using the Context API to inject host specific implementations.
Leader in the Bloomberg web community which involved providing guidance on best practices and contributing to inner source initiatives across the firm. Such projects include a React component library used across enterprise applications as well as educational materials.

Bloomberg LP - Software Engineer (2016 - 2020)

Developed several high traffic client facing JSON-LD REST API endpoints using Python, Flask, and Marshmallow allowing clients to search and request enterprise data.
Optimized both the frontend and backend of a full stack web application. Examples include reducing the rendering of 70K+ items from minutes to milliseconds and reducing implementation costs of common tasks from weeks to days.
Developed Jenkins CI/CD workflows to ensure reliable software releases. Workflows include automating the verification, packaging, and deployment of various software.

MCS Solutions - Software Developer (2015 - 2016)

Migrated an application from inline JQuery scripts and styles to AngularJS. Pages were served via a mix of server side rendered HTML and client-side JavaScript.

Projects

Hack-R-Wave - Retrofitted Smart Microwave

Hack-R-Wave was a hackathon project in which my team tried to turn a regular microwave into a smart microwave. We wanted to be able to scan any barcode and have the microwave correctly cook the food based on what it was.

The project consisted of a Raspberry PI that was connected to the microwave's circuit board, a flask API running on the raspberry pi that could accept commands and send them to the microwave, and an app that could scan a barcode and send a request to the flask server.

Worked on a team of four people to turn a regular microwave into a "smart" microwave.
Reverse engineered how the microwave processed button presses. Created circuitry that allowed a Raspberry PI to send commands to the microwave.
Created an Android app that could read a barcode and send commands remotely to the Raspberry PI. These commands would set the cook time and turn on the microwave.

Budgeting App - Progressive Web Application for Home Budgeting

Progressive web application built with ReactJS and Firebase that tracked spending.
Features included being able to set spending goals, savings goals, adding transactions, graphing monthly and yearly spending, and creating recurring transactions.
Recurring transactions implemented using Firebase's serverless functions. The function checks the database every 15 minutes to see if transaction needs to be added.

Education
