Morgan Stanley

Morgan Stanley mobilizes capital to help governments, corporations, institutions and individuals around the world achieve their financial goals. For over 85 years, the firm’s reputation for using innovative thinking to solve complex problems has been well earned and rarely matched. A consistent industry leader throughout decades of dramatic change in modern finance, Morgan Stanley will continue to break new ground in advising, serving and providing new opportunities for its clients.

I was the sole developer on a team of primarily DevOps and SRE engineers. I was in charge of helping the team streamline their HashiCorp Vault deployments. These deployments were heavily automated by Ansible. During my time at Morgan Stanley I:

- Designed and created integration tooling to validate the existing HashiCorp Vault deployments. This was highly desired and necessary as the existing repository was difficult to reason about and had no standard practices employed when it came to managing and creating new configurations for the Kubernetes deployments.

- Led re-factoring of Ansible playbooks. This was a crucial step as they were all written by one engineer whose time with the team was coming to a close. There were many Ansible modules that required an engineer with a good eye for clean architecture and design in order to de-tangle, de-couple, and simplify the modules and the playbooks.

- Mentored colleagues on good coding practices for readability, maintainability, and simplicity. Took this a step further by establishing a Python blog on the company's intranet reaching over 70,000+ employees.

Python Security Developer

Butr Inc.

Butr Inc. is a subsidiary of AmpMe. AmpMe is a startup that launched an app by the same name, allowing it's users to stream music anywhere, play music and turn their iOS and Android phones into a giant speaker.

I was on-boarded as the sole developer for an in-house advertisement campaign tracking system that was suffering from technical performance issues as well as User Interface Design issues and User Experience issues. It was in desperate need of an overhaul. During my time at Butr Inc., I:

- Sped up load times on the main advertisement bookings history page by 8000%. This single-handedly saved the company thousands of dollars a week and earned praise from the CEO himself.

- Re-architected the back-end to a RESTful API using Django REST Framework. This greatly simplified the development process when transitioning the dashboard’s front-end from coupled server-rendered templates to a modular Single-Page Application.

- Re-designed, re-wrote, and migrated the front-end from Django templates to a components-based architecture using Vue.js and Vuetify. This improved visual responsiveness and User Experience.

- Migrated database from Docker volumes to Amazon Web Services. This added data redundancy, protected the company data from accidental deletion, and enabled safe and confident feature testing.

- Established a staging and a production environments in AWS.

Cerence Inc.

Cerence Inc. is a subsidiary of Nuance Communications, Inc. (it was formerly the automotive division). Cerence delivers solutions that understand, analyze and respond to human language, amplifying human intelligence. I was contracted as a software developer for the Ford Sync 4 team. During my time at Cerence, I:

- Collaborated closely and often with language scientists to gather requirements, design, and implement tooling that would facilitate the delivery of the product to the client.

- Architected, developed, and documented library built with Python and Pandas that greatly facilitated tool building for language grammar specifications, QA test reports, as well as map data compilation.

- Sped up the runtime of a point-of-interest compilation tool by over 1000%. This enabled the rest of the team to deploy faster and more often.

- Led the adoption of Git and Gitlab for new projects on the team by creating Python repository templates, ready and fit with Continuous Delivery (CD) pipelines in Gitlab that built, packaged, and Docker-ized the application source code. This was met with positive feedback from the team as it greatly simplified the migration process from Perforce.

- Mentored other team members to help promote quality coding standards.
