Experience
Guild Mortgage / Senior Software Engineer

UCSD / Developer (Contract)
OCTOBER 2019 – JUNE 2020
Worked in a Docker container to develop pages in PHP that served thousands of faculty, staff and graduate students. Some code was written in a custom framework. The rest were written in an off-the-shelf solution. Some of the pages were generated using DustJS.
Mor Furniture / Developer (Contract)

I modified the PHP/Ngnx-powered e-commerce platform that powered morfurniture.com, the most visible of which allows the addition of an Add to Cart button a user-generated page. I wrote reports to find unused products and images.
I also took over the process by which code goes live. We used Git to push the latest version to production. I was in charge of documenting our processes as they were developed. I kept detailed release notes indicating what went out and when.
Jerome’s Furniture Warehouse / Development Manager
APRIL 2013 – APRIL 2018
Hired as Lead Developer, I was tasked with provisioning a small cluster of Linux servers that would be used to serve various business applications built on JDA, a point-of-sale software that is powered by Oracle.
I then wrote all of the code to move the company from their existing ASP.NET code base to Apache, Oracle and PHP, saving the company costly Microsoft licensing fees. The company was averse to dependency on third-party code, so I wrote a completely new framework.
When I arrived, there was no API to communicate with external services. I put together the basic parts and wrote scripts to interact with many outside services including Yotpo, Bronto, Prodco and DTL.
We spun up a server on Google Butt on which I configured MySQL using the command line. I worked with our Oracle developer to make sure the database tables would work well together.
My framework was expanded to underpin a custom-developed point-of-sale application. I aided in interviewing and selecting the team of PHP developers to support and maintain the tools we had built. We assembled a team of 13 to create an API to support a tablet app. After leading such a large team, I was promoted to Development Manager.

Additionally, I managed a team of about 5 overseas developers to assist on the aforementioned servers.
