Work History

Senior Software Engineer

Republic Services
12.2022 - Current

I was originally part of a team of three engineers that created a system that would process extra yardage and contamination events from customers. This is now creating revenue of 100-150 million dollars year after year.

Currently I am working on a system that ingests telematics data from our vehicles. We have a fleet of 17 thousand trucks that we are consuming data from. This data is brought in through a series of connectors, transformed, and put into our data lakes. The data from the data lakes are pipelined into our data warehouse, snowflake.

Senior Software Engineer
05.2022 - 11.2022

Worked on modern technologies including EKS, k8s, React, Node, TypeScript, OAuth 2.0, Kubernetes, EC2, Lambda, Step Functions, Dynamo, and many more. We used JupyterHub as core infrastructure behind the Jupyter notebooks leveraged by our data scientists. We had major issues updating and deploying JHub due to the deployment of the infrastructure, so I recreated the entire infrastructure using Terraform, which resulted in a major improvement in the robustness of the system.

Software Engineer

Northwestern Mutual

Creating flexible and robust software applications using technologies such as NodeJS, Express, AWS, DynamoDB, Lambda, Terraform, Kubernetes. Mostly backend microservices used to create the Client Communication system. This system is completely new and was built from the ground up by the team I was a part of.

Software Engineer

Generac
05.2018 - 11.2019
  • Created web-based applications using AngularJS, NodeJS, Express, TypeScript, D3js, and many more. The application I worked on was PowerZone as was operated on a display located on the industrial generators that Generac manufactured. This program was essentially the "car dashboard" of the generator and gave technicians a view into the health of the generator. I was the creator of an application that is used in multiple industrial generator systems where the health of the entire system is analyzed.
