I am the lead engineer for a small advertising technology SaaS startup. My time is spent between three major sources: architecture/system design, leadership/mentorship, and software implementation. I am responsible for designing systems and review all architectural decisions to ensure the quality of the product. Being the senior-most engineer, I work with my team to transfer knowledge, mentoring both engineers and others to increase efficiency across departments. Lastly I dive into software implementation and coding to create new features which increase product scope and efficiency.

Design and develop internal web software to manage company products and services using PHP, javascript, and node.js. Develop internal and client facing websites to expand company products. Drive innovation by introducing and implementing modern technologies such as apache kafka, node.js, and vuejs. Work with management to create positive change in software development methodologies including behavioral driven development, assisting transition to agile, and software documentation. Lastly maintain and improve complex systems which interact with Salesforce.

My primary role is to develop new and innovative internal software tools to increase company efficiency. I work in full stack development to build web applications, design and code RESTful API's, and create automation routines saving dozens of work hours monthly.

As part of my development role I write libraries to integrate with third part REST and SOAP APIs as needed for back end business logic or for automation. For web development I utilize both back end frameworks and ORMs to persist objects along with front end UI frameworks for client side actions and views. Lastly I create Excel macros in VBA to assist the marketing team with project completion.

Concurrently I also organize and schedule marketing projects as the project coordinator. I work with the marketing team to ensure project deadlines are met and the team understands their role in each project.
