Summary

I am a Senior Software Engineer that enjoys enhancing productivity for individuals and businesses through software development. With over 15 years of experience in crafting business software applications, including a decade in the commercial financial services industry, my expertise spans across developing web applications using languages such as Ruby, Elixir, and Python.

In my current role as a Senior Software Engineer, I engage with a dynamic range of systems, including DevOps support. My work primarily utilizes Ruby on Rails, alongside Elixir for certain projects. My responsibilities extend to managing our infrastructure on cloud platforms, leveraging tools like Terraform.

My previous experience includes developing core and internal billing platforms using Ruby on Rails and Python Flask, respectively. Before that, I was part of a team focused on web application development employing the Extreme Programming methodology. This involved close collaboration with client developers to enhance their software delivery processes through agile methodologies, including User Stories, Iterative Development, Continuous Integration, and Test Driven Development, with a technology stack that comprised Ruby, Python, and Java.

Earlier in my career, I was involved with a financial services company where I primarily worked with C# and the .NET platform. I have managed small teams of developers and have been involved in various stages of the project lifecycle, from requirements gathering and user interface design to coding and testing. My preference is towards Agile development methodologies.
