## Work Experience
### Senior Software Engineer @ ServiceCore
Jan 2022 – Present | United States
Recognized Angular expert and mentor supporting 4 engineering teams — shaping architecture, championing best practices, and fostering consistency and growth across projects.

Led the migration of a hybrid AngularJS/Angular 13 app into a clean, fully Angular 14 architecture — rebuilt core authentication and session state in NgRx, delivering the upgrade in just 2 months with significant gains in stability, scalability, and developer velocity.

Transformed a legacy module-based architecture plagued by circular dependencies into a clean, lazy-loaded standalone component structure — resolved and updated 4,000+ tests using AI-assisted tooling, all within a single sprint.

Assisting in org-wide AI adoption — leading demos, building workflows, and helping teams integrate AI into their day-to-day development.

Acknowledged by the CTO as a role model engineer for leading with ownership, mentoring peers, and consistently shipping high-performing software.

Frequent speaker and contributor at engineering guilds — sharing insights on architecture, scalable patterns, and code quality best practices.

Played a key role in overhauling a critical feature — the scheduling flow — by applying modular design principles and launching a first-of-its-kind map view to improve user efficiency and expand functionality.

Championed RxJS and NgRx best practices, identifying architectural limitations and initiating a robust state management solution tailored to enterprise-scale needs.

Promoted reusable, maintainable UI components aligned with SOLID principles — enhancing code quality, development speed, and long-term scalability.

Earned Scrum Master certification and helped launch the company’s first Agile sprints, contributing to a more structured and collaborative development process.

### Junior Frontend Developer @ 1bg
Jan 2019 – Jan 2019 | Lakewood, CO
Hired with no prior Angular experience; rapidly upskilled through on-the-job learning and self-funded courses taken after hours.

Personally vetted and promoted an Angular training program that proved so effective it was later adopted company-wide.

Identified major gaps in frontend test quality; initiated the refactor of 300+ tests to use proper mocking and meaningful assertions, improving reliability and maintainability.

Supported ongoing AngularJS migration by transforming components into maintainable, scalable Angular equivalents.
