Work Experience

Tria Federal (Full Time) Jul 2022 - Feb 2024

Remote

-Senior Software Engineer (Full Time)

•Provided a weekly status report on tasks. Assigned tasks within Agility, known as an 'Agility Story'.

•I was available M-F over Microsoft Teams and Outlook for any form of question or request, maintaining the role of Senior Software Engineer.

•I completed all of my assigned yearly training videos, such as anti-phishing, privacy incident reporting, learning Federal PII Laws, and internet security. (Completed early or before deadlines.).

•I enjoyed participating in round-table design discussions and then implementing architectural customer specifications.

•I never missed a customer request. Any in-scope findings could be prioritized via a group email or Microsoft Teams meeting with the lead(s).

•I maintained an integral effort using Visual Studio, Git, and Azure DevOps while mapping to architectural designs, including all QA findings, without unnecessary delay.

•I satisfied QA findings using a strike-team-like approach as one of my top priorities—the same priority for customer requests.

•Daily Git feature branch check-in commits. Merge sync to master branches via Git pull requests, assigning random peer audits.

•I maintained existing .NET Framework projects by implementing the latest security and code standards.

•I performed accurate code analysis when asked how the application could save money using a 'proof of concept' (POC) approach.

•My active project was developing a new Agility Web Service using Soap, which talks directly to the Agility SDK API. Automated the creation and updating of up to hundreds of thousands of Agility Stories. Mapped directly to customer design architecture standards.

•I developed for the Agility Web Service, an intelligent Agility Story lookup via Version One legacy JSON queries, for automated production Agility Story management, which will eventually save hundreds of thousands of man-hours using automation and CRM triggers to call web methods.

•I built this Agility Web Service from scratch using Soap and .NET Framework. I learned the Version One legacy Agility SDK API and created a smooth-talking full Agility Web Service with a log4net file and database logging.

•Studied Soap vs. Rest for the tech choice of use, assisted Team Lead, Customers, Management, Agility Team, and QA Lead with architectural decisions made.

•I began to develop the REST version of this same Agility Web Service after a successful 'Phase One' launch after delivery satisfied all customers and my fellow peers.

•I received team feedback during Git pull request code reviews and implemented using the latest security scan tech, including the introduction of DevOps CodeQL scans.

•Provided the weekly status of remaining efforts, including all customer suggestions, and voiced all to-dos to management for prioritization sync.

•I created feature branch(s) in Git for all incoming change sets and sent pull requests when pushing to the master branch. I used Git to document and log all historical change sets. Pull requests peer review sessions as great learning experiences and collaboration.

•Designed try-catch around all Soap Web Service queries to the Agility SDK so that an error could be sent to the Agility Support teams via a stack trace if ever needed without exposing any confidential or PII/PHI to the front-end user interface.

•Tailored configs to secure standards by completing the latest company security training, attending weekly Stand-Up/DevOps, and learning SharePoint, lessons, and materials.

•Ensured configs would never expose any confidential secrets by using the Octopus pipeline through DevOps. This includes major bug fix discoveries, such as removing config get/post to prevent the output of ISS usernames.

•I worked in a Dev/QA/Pre-Prod/and Production environment directly with QA to ensure DevOps deployment smoothness upon authorized deployment requests.

•While practicing daily fundamentals and operations, I quickly gained a complete understanding of daily secure development, leading to a confident state of performance.

•I have continuously learned the latest DevOps, security, SharePoint, and resource training standards.

•Demonstrated the art of my skill sets that I was hired for, while always improving complete communication.

•My attitude was always just to be happy to improve technology wherever directed.

•While my biggest success was C# and .NET, I did not mind approaching any problem.

•Upon receiving any directions, I was always excited to perform, especially using my most confident skills, such as .NET, C#, and SQL.

•I improved my understanding of the steps towards problem-solving and gained continual skill-set improvements.

•I ensured that no team feedback was forgotten, and always ensured to prioritize any concern within my only to-do list.

•Furthermore, I always wrote code comments appropriately, so that any outside source could understand the code that they were looking at.

•My excellent code comments described areas where feature discussions occurred and noted enhancement areas, including any future development concerns or bugs.

•One of my favorite end-of-day duties was when my fellow peer(s), some of my peer new hire(s), and customer(s) would reach out to me via Microsoft Teams, co-tour or co-learn the codebase, resolve any problems or concerns that were stuck on, and answer any questions. We were always excited to send the progress to our team lead, afterwards.

•As mentioned, I re-iterate with emphasis, that I enjoyed co-activities such as project touring and co-problem solving over MS Teams calls.
