  I create data-driven systems for optimizing supply chain systems. I design, build, and improve software services to drive solutions that increase the efficiency and speed of supply chain operations. I fully designed, planned, delegated, and delivered event based and API call based solutions and features leading directly to millions of dollars in continuous year to year savings.I analyze business requirements, design solutions, create work plans, and implement solutions end-to-end. I create feature development timelines based on quarterly capacity, promoting visibility and transparency of project delivery timelines. I schedule and direct feature kickoffs to foster collaboration within the development team and create development clarity among my development team to new feature implementations. I lead my team in the implementation and delivery of new solutions and features.Collaboration is key in my role. I work with different business units to gather requirements and coordinate integrated testing between teams. I design, build, test, and deploy micro-service architecture Java Spring Boot services, utilizing technologies such as GitLab, Kubernetes, Terraform, Kafka, AWS, PostgreSQL, and more. My work - whether designing, planning, or implementation, always includes comprehensive unit, integration, and end-to-end testing.I lead engineering stand-ups, team syncs, and process improvement meetings. I regularly recommend and contribute to the enhancement of our software engineering processes, both at the team level and organizational level through standards proposals. I advocate for clear communications and proactively break down barriers precluding transparency.I both understand the limitations of AI and leverage AI for all stages of software development - from planning, requirements gathering, designing, planning, implementation, and troubleshooting. Learning and using AI as a tool is key in my development practices to improve speed, quality, and robustness. Show less
