Championing USDC as a payment platform, building a frictionless global payment system running on open source decentralized blockchains.

• Architected, planned, executed and led teams involving multiple multi-stakeholder projects from requirements to production

As a lead on many critical business projects, I deliver an idea to production utilizing best practices. A deep culmination of software experience, pragmatic decisions and a long track record lends significant velocity to the business.

• Refactored processes saving 50k / month in cloud spend
• Built an IVR serverless payments application
• Wrote new applications that saved the business 100's of hours of manual work
• Key stakeholder, traveling to career fairs, hiring and mentoring

After Bonzi, I wanted to focus on my passion for writing code, and being interested in biometrics led me to ImageWare. Seeing an opportunity as a catalyst for change, I pushed boundaries and helped ImageWare explore Kubernetes, AWS, Spring Boot and containerization.

• Created IotDna (Patent Pending), an IoT api enabling anonymous devices to be "biometrically" validated before joining the network
• Created a comprehensive SPA in Vue.JS that supported their SaaS platform
• Migrated server based Spring Boot services to K8, and upgrading them to Spring Boot 2.0

Fortunate to help develop, support and manage a platform that served five million active users and thousands of organizations. A true startup grit was developed at Bonzi, we solved hard problems, ran lean, and kept tight schedules. During the journey from a startup to a medium size business, I became an expert at the complete stack. I gained deep expertise in: hardware and server management, writing software for a comprehensive SaaS product, architecture design, performance monitoring and tuning, project management and customer service techniques. The experience taught me the meaning of ownership and how to thrive in technology.
