Work Experience
Developer, Fullbay, Phoenix, AZ 12/2018 – Present
- Worked in a fast-growing SAAS start up serving the heavy-duty equipment repair industry. Scaled team from two to over a dozen individual contributors in the first year while introducing Agile principles, git-flow, and test-driven development.
- Presented internal talks on test-driven development, unit test design, application security (OWASP Top Ten) and the PHP Standards Recommendations (PSR).
- Mentored junior developers through constructive code reviews, pairing, code walks throughs, and documentation.
- Migrated early back-end MVP written in a custom PHP5 framework to PHP8+ using the Larval 10 framework.
- Paired with external partners to co-develop interoperable REST and event-driven APIs that coordinated client services in processing invoices, alerting partners of workflow events, and GPS coordinates of on-site technicians.
- Implemented point of sale software that processed $2+ million monthly card terminal, card-not-present, ACH, and fleet check transactions through multiple payment processors (WorldPay, Payrix, Authorize.net, Stripe, and RoadSync).
- Developed an event-based system that notified customers of workflow progress through emails, pop-ups, and text messages (via Twilio).
- Used AWS services (Cloud Formation, Lambda, SNS, SQS) and Nodejs to create an event-based routing system allowing for concurrent and “eventually consistent” operations to be offloaded from the main client-facing server and onto a distribution of services.
- Automated deployment of test and development sandboxes by containerizing our services using Docker.
