Career Profile

Experience in all phases of software architecture, design, testing, security, and deployments. I have worked with large and small companies as well as independent contracting. I work well independently, with small agile teams, and within larger organizations. I have excellent communication and technical documentation skills. I have worked with standards-based communication systems (SIP) and was a specification author and contributor for the OpenADR 2.0 protocol (a smart grid standard for IoT clients and servers) that I designed and implemented clients and servers for.

Strong full-stack web development for user-facing and administration systems, testing and deployment using Docker, AWS (ECS/Cloudformation), React/Redux, Node.js, Python/Django and Java services and microservices using MongoDB and PostgreSQL.
