I would like to say I am an expert in my field and recognized that the market was shifting to mobile devices and implemented a mobile app for the products assigned to me. This mobile application utilizing Node.js on server side and quickly became popular among the company’s clients causing the product to be add to the company’s suite of Lead to Money Solutions products with myself being named the principle architect and developer. This new product was designed to run on Apple and Android devises, offline and online. I later redesigned both the mobile and server app’s and placed them under subversion source code control (SVN) with cloud access to this redesigned RESTful Web API Server Services in 28 world languages with Linq to Entities data. My responsibilities in these roles was not only to function as a software Engineer but also as a team lead. I had to interview and recommend new perspective hires, train new hires in best coding practices and how to balance the coders perfectionism desire with real world client’s needs, perform code reviews and unit test inspections for DRY code while communicating progress with management. I use an Agile methodology as an alternative to traditional project management using JIRA to implement and track sprints.

I developed server side product inventory real time tracking database systems with Git source code repositories, which was accessible from a company’s web site. These applications became the model for all the clients that contracted the company for similar services. One of my most loved projects was the creation of a C++ client application that communicated to a standard PBX which he later had to convert to C# in 1 week with total success.

I later while working on a project lost one of my coders but made up the slack on my own time and the project made deadline. I also coded for tracking real time data from machinery.
