Principal Software Development Engineer

Summary

Architectural experience should always be from the ground up covering systems, backend software, frontend software, networking, database, and security. My professional life honors this and I offer ground up knowledge and mentoring to help achieve the overall product goals. I strongly believe that you learn through teaching and lead through example and space should be made for both.

- Strong Linux systems engineering experience in data centers, embedded solution design, and network appliance development

- Database specific software development practices for ensuring transactional integrity and atomicity or operating alongside eventually consistent data streams.
- Cloud architectures utilizing serverless functions and containers, processing queues, scalable databases, and custom service integrations.
- Low level hardware management and solution design.
- IoT device development.
- Frontend and backend development of customer portals, social media software, billing and invoicing systems.
- Platform engineering including SDLC, DevOps, monitoring and telemetry.
- Large scale telemetry eventing and cataloging.
- Personal entrepreneurial efforts in the realm of developer experience, systems stability, and remote access.

Expectations

A great product manager or project manager makes a world of difference. Being able to work directly in development and architecture and interface with product decisions in a way that exposes and explores business direction and decisions helps create a solid and well defined product iteration.

A personal motto of "Know what you know well, know what you don't know as well." is important for everybody involved when working with directors, leadership, and stakeholders. Having a team approach toward communication of goals, changes, and design issues is very important and an area I enjoy working in. Gaining trust with stakeholders and an understanding of business goals and motivations is a form of transparency that offers an understanding of trajectory that is very beneficial to an entire product team.
