Watchguard Technologies Senior SDE

Seattle, WA June 2021-July 2023

Completed work on BusinessRuleApi and SkuRelationshipApi projects that were begun as a contractor. Released to production in May 2023.

Harvey Nash– Senior SDE

Seattle, WA November 2020-May 2021

Watchguard Technologies – ITDev Team

Working on the LEMS project. Implemented the BusinessRuleApi proof of concept which provides a mechanism for isolating business logic in a central location rather than in different projects. The project is implemented in .NetCore, and is currently being refined into production code. Currently working on the SkuRelationshipApi proof of concept, also .NetCore, which provides a tool for isolating relationships between objects in a centralized lookup table rather than spreading the logic out in different projects. TEKSystems – Senior SDE

Redmond, WA August 2020- October 2020

Microsoft Corporation – MPC team

The group handles the hardware and software ordering system for external clients. The services are primarily full framework and some .NetCore deployed via ServiceFabric. SQLServer and CosmosDB are used for the storage. UI is a combination of Angular and React. Final project was working on a full stack feature that requires changes to C#, SQL programability, and minor changes to the Angular front end.

Seattle, WA October 2019-June 2020

Getty Images – API and Enterprise Services teams

Getty is a dot net core shop for the most part. Services are containerized. Source control is primarily through Gitlab. Near real time logging is done with Splunk. Backend for the services is primarily SQL Server with a little Postgres. I worked primarily in C#. I worked with more than a dozen services, most of which are internal, but the API group provides their public facing API (no GUI work, just API endpoints). Some work updating deployment pipelines for API SDKS, a little bit of SQL stuff, but mainly I write code.
