Contributing to the new payment processing system that spans Inflight and Airports while modernizing an existing legacy system that handles automated phone routing.

• Working within both ASP .Net Framework and ASP .Net Core projects.
• Building an Electron application to assist in re-processing or writting off transactions.
• Utilizing a GraphQL endpoint to minimize data transfer between the back-end and Electron application.

Building a Data Catalog to allow exploration of data-sets owned by Microsoft allowing data-scientists to spend less time locating and prepping data, and more time gaining insights and building models.

• Back-end is written in Node.JS (Typescript) utilizing GraphQL and Neo4j.
• UX leverages React (hooks) and deferred rendering to deliver the best user experience possible.
• Easily add new or locate existing data-sets through a file-system like UX with advanced search capabilities.

Designed a graph visualization of the Microsoft Customer Master to allow exploration and deeper data insights.

• Aggregated data from multiple data-sources into a coherent data-model with GraphQL.
• Back-end was built using ASP.Net Core and uses Azure Active Directory for s2s and user authentication.
• UX leverages React and the Apollo Client to maintain a clean application state in a data heavy application.

Built and maintained a tool that allows teams such as marketing to configure everything from Quizzes to Rewards with the option to implement custom logic without needing to understand software.

• The UX leverages React/Redux creating reusable UX components and maintaining a clean application state in a data heavy application.
• The WebAPI is built using ASP.Net Core and uses Azure Active Directory for s2s and user authentication.

Built and maintained OneView, a tool to reduce prep time for sales calls by providing a holistic view of the business or entity by aggregating data from throughout the many orgs, as well as providing a layer of machine learning to increase sale chance.

• Xamarin Forms was chosen for the UX which lead to the need for the creation of many custom controls and platform specific renderers for iOS Android and UWP.
• Prism was chosen to easily share business logic between platforms.
• I created a thin abstraction around a few testing frameworks as no single one existed for all three platforms at the time allowing for consolidated UI tests.

As a general-purpose engineer, I worked on projects from 3D CAM applications, to mobile applications, to embedded machine control.

• Developed features for the Intelli-MAX product suite such as the chamfer and spiral lead tools.
• Played an integral part in brining the scripting engine to a point that allows third party developers to distribute their own tools.
• Played a major role in building out the core architecure of OMAX Intelli-CAM, the first 3D CAM application for Waterjet applications.
• Build from the ground up, an OpenGL renderer to support linux and mobile systems.
• Developed a proof of concept monitoring application that never saw the light of day.
• Did the initial research into EtherCAT for what would become the next gen machine control scheme.
