Eagle Scout with the Silver Palm: Orchestrated and participated in many leadership programs and service projects

Research article: Path Planning using Dijkstra and Lightning Enhancement: Researched enhancements to Dijkstra's Algorithm that enables path planning based on a height map.

Head of Developer Relations: Jan 2022 - Present; WSO2; I am a leading the DevRel team. We build and foster the community of developers around the Open Source and SAAS projects at WSO2.

Lead Solutions Engineer: Feb 2021 - Jan 2022; WSO2; I am a technical sales rep that works with customers to solve their problems with WSO2 products.

Sr. Full Stack Developer: Feb 2020 - Feb 2021; BMW: Apps and Services; A senior member on a team to build a system to provide electric car drivers a smart way to charge their vehicle bmwchargeforward.com. This connected many internal BMW systems but also interfaced with Power companies for up-to-date energy data. Integrated with top vehicle Manufacturers and Utility companies to build a system for getting electrical grid data.

Sr. Enterprise Application Engineer: 2018 - Feb 2020; AFS Logistics; I worked as a lead engineer on a team building a new Transportation Management System from the ground up using a microservice architecture. Spring Boot, gRPC, Protobuf, Kafka, Elastic Search, Vue.js, PostgreSQL, Docker, Kubernetes, Helm.

Full Stack Mentor: 2018 - 2020; Thinkful Inc; I work one on one with students participating in the program. My main goal is to help overcome hurdles and provide more depth to the program where needed based on my work experience.

Enterprise Application Engineer: 2012 - 2018; Transplace; I maintained legacy applications, worked on improvements and new features of existing products, and architected new applications.

BMW Charge Forward - This projects includes a collection of BMW internal services providing vehicle data sources. They are used to optimize electric vehicles charging times. To manage the streams of vehicle data AWS Lambda, SQS, Kinesis was built together in a node Typscript mono repo. The backend service was built with node Nest.js framwork and PostgreSQL.

Transportation Management System - This projects includes a collection of applications and microservices deployed with Docker, Kubernetes and Helm. These are the projects that I participate in: A CRUD application that is the main entry point into the system. It is built using Spring Boot, MS SQL Server and Vue. A Rating System, designed for high throughput and consists of multiple microservices using Spring Boot, Golang, Protobuf, gRPC, Redis, PostgreSQL, Vue. A Document Manager built to control the ingestion of physical documents using Spring Boot, Protobuf, gRPC, Websockets, RabbitMQ, PostregSQL, Google Cloud API, and Vue. A Delayed Messaged Delivery service that can scale for high volume is built with Kafka, Redis, Spring Boot.

Gohlay - I wrote an open source tool to reproduce the kafka delayed/scheduled message system using Golang Gohlay WIP. It has a much smaller footprint and can scale more easily without the dependency of redis.

Dynamic EDI parser - Developed a reliable EDI parser that is able to convert any EDI file into an object format of choice (xml, json, etc). I developed the algorithm that utilized specific Java class definitions to know how to parse any type of EDI file. This gave us the power to define broad or specific rules in each Java class file that essentially would ‘teach’ the algorithm how to read any EDI file.

Your Media - I am developing a public social/blog boilerplate, using Hugo, to easily empower people to build their own blog vs rely on a service or social media Your Media WIP
