1. Senior Software Engineer

   Planview

   Feb 2020 — Present

   Full stack.NET developer for a company that develops portfolio resource, capability and technology management web software. Planview is the current technology leader in the Agile and PRM Gartner Magic Quadrants for 2022, per a recently-published report.\\\\n\\\\nCurrently working to maintain and re-architect Planview Enterprise, our flagship application, as well as improve the PRM Adapter - a product that works with our Integration Hub to sync data between PVE, LeanKit, and ProjectPlace. Am working with several talented engineers to expand PVE\'s new architecture via the use of Dependency Injection, and automation (build and test) via Docker, CakeBuild, and PowerShell.\\\\n\\\\nPreviously worked on a service delivery team (half developers, half DevOps engineers) to support automated updates of customer instances of E1 via Echelon, a RESTful API (.NET Core 3.1) against a DocumentDB (Mongo) instance in an AWS Cluster, and a stack consisting of a series of PowerShell scripts (and some Python scripts, as well) to take/restore VMWare VCenter snapshots (or AWS AMI\'s), execute package installations via Chocolatey, and verifications, using a Simple Systems Management (SSM) automation execution that is controlled by Jenkins. So, basically, whatever it takes.\\\\n\\\\nWrote a generic Feature Flag interface with a concrete implementation around LaunchDarkly, along with a command-line utility to pull down feature flag values for offline use, installable as a Chocolatey package. Integrated this into Planview Enterprise, and have seen it through several iterations as we expand its functionality and use.\\\\n\\\\nHave dabbled in the REST APIs for DataDog, Site24x7, SalesForce, Akamai, and our own home-grown stuff. Postman and Windows Terminal are always open on my desktop.\\\\n \\\\n\\\\n \\\\n \\\\n\\\\n \\\\n
