Seasoned Software Engineer and Team Lead with 10+ years of industry experience in developing full stack solutions, employing the best technologies available.
Having worked with several talented people, I was fortunate enough to receive some wonderful feedback!
I have been truly lucky to have received all the opportunities thus far, and I'm always looking to take things further.
- Worked in the Rendering Team and helped lead projects on multiple fronts to optimize resources ingested from customers and then dispatched to partners for printing
- Led the effort to substantially revitalize the internal Adobe based libraries for pre-flighted (ready to print) PDF creation, all the way down to certain Linux executables written in C++
- Helped solve some highly technical and scientific, often subjective problems with customer creatives and the vast array of CSS properties and how they ultimately manifest in print as part of the PDF/X-1a spec
- Delivered newer, hyper efficient rendering engines within Docker containers that could better scale with increasing customer utilization
- Led multiple sub-streams of work within the largest migration project at Lob, several years in the making - in order to move 100% of customer traffic to a newer internal rendering system (utilizing the containers) that is 5-10x as efficient
- Worked alongside the team in implementing a new suite of high-performance APIs for partner companies, which, within the first month of rollout, already accounted for over 15% of total new customers
- Helped design and implement a net new integration with Xero, the accounting web app, to help book-keepers bridge the gap between the funds in customer accounts vs their books
- Took part in a massive performance overhaul initiative that holistically improved the performance of the web app by a factor of at least 10x (from a P99 of well over 8s to just under 700ms)
Worked with the Integrations team at Affirm PayBright. Highlights are:
- Worked with the team in building custom integrations for clients like Amazon
- Built the integration with Apple Canada from the ground up
- Led the team in building an integration with Shopify using Shopify apps and payment gateways
- Led the frontend development of donation pages, campaign pages and event pages within the CRM suite, introducing Bootstrap and LESS to add mobile responsiveness and enhanced UI/UX standardization to legacy web applications
- Built a new peer-to-peer campaign donations platform using .NET Core, C# and MVC with Razor and Entity Framework
- Developed "Ria Device Manager", the C# based multi- threaded Windows application that communicates with proprietary financial hardware and FxOnline, radically boosting access times and overall performance
- Worked on "FxOnline", Ria's core money transfer web application and integrated Ria Device Manager, decoupling the dependency on Internet Explorer's ActiveX, thereby bringing cross browser compatibility & revamping usability
- Upgraded and feature enriched "Order Management Console", the internal sales and order administration tool, using Java, Coldfusion, Javascript and jQuery
- Augmented "University Advancement Portal", the internal system for staff members, to work with University Advancement data using ASP.NET, C# and PL/SQL
- Developed a new web application for parsing, organizing, transforming and exporting university call center data
- Built non-profit websites for SAGE Global and SAGE TRIS using customized WordPress installations and PHP
I had the good fortune of a vastly contrasting education from two very different countries
