  • Directly lead team in developing REST APIs on AWS infrastructure.

Software Engineer, Apartments247.com, December 2014 ~ Present

  • Lead engineer on constructing JSON REST APIs on a distributed, microservice infrastructure on AWS. The services were built leveraging different AWS services including, SQS, DynamoDB, Aurora, Lambda, EC2, S3, and API Gateway.
  • Engineered and implemented an Internet Listing Service (ILS) for apartment communities. The Aptcast ILS was implemented with Swift (with some use of C and Objective-C for various components) and released for iPhone. Project discontinued due to business decisions to focus on Resident apps.
  • Designed and implemented microservice APIs in Java, Go, Node, and Python that were used for the Aptcast apps. These became the foundation for new product development.

Software Development Engineer (Contract), Galavantier, February 2014 ~ July 2014

  • Technical lead on Marko’s Guest List iOS app, implemented in Objective-C. The app consumed a JSON REST API.

Software Engineer (Contract), Lambda TD Software, Inc., June 2013 ~ December 2013

  • Implemented features and bug fixes on the LFE Five Home Automation Platform. The platform consisted of a REST API implemented in Java with Spring and PostgreSQL. The goal of the project was to create a system that would provide a common interface for users to interact with multiple home automation protocols. The API used existing Java SDKs or called C/C++ through the JNI for interacting with the protocols. The system was implemented as a proof of concept on a Raspberry Pi.
