Summary
Software Engineer that has been mostly focused on the the UI side of things. I like to think I am a pretty quick learner that doesn't like to silo myself to one thing. I love data-visualization, getting to work with data-scientist and UX designers to create cool tools that can impact decision making.

Sr Software Engineer

01.2017 - 01.2020
- As a services engineer, I worked closely with the UX team to run customer workshops where we learned about our customers business needs and opportunities for solutions that could greatly impact them.
- Whenever a technical solution was required for a customer I would create prototypes that we would deliver along with a sales-deck. These solutions were sometimes Web-apps, A polished wireframe, or even a data visualization report I built using something like Tableau.
- If services projects were not in the pipeline, I would assist other development teams. I did everything from assisting with a web-application built using an older version of Angular and node, to creating a backend .NET service that connected two other applications.
- Created some in-house tools for the Sales team.
- Worked with lots of other consulting groups in collaboration with anything from commercial projects to military projects. These consultant groups included McKinsey, Accenture, and Project202.
- Attended several training courses in Microsoft Azure, Tableau, and GE Leadership.
