<h2>Box, Inc.</h2>
<h3>Engineering Manager</h3>
<h4>Current</h4>
<p></p>
<p>
As an Engineering Manager at Box, Inc., leading an
internationally distributed team across Poland and the
USA, I have the privilege of managing a Rich Content
Editor application. One of the primary challenges with
this application was dealing with its legacy system. Our
team has to balance the need for modernization with the
practical realities of working with a system that has been
in place for years. To achieve this, we had to break down
the project into smaller, more manageable components and
prioritize them based on their impact on the overall
system. We also had to work closely with other teams to
ensure that our updates would not cause any unexpected
issues in other parts of the system.
</p>
<p>
Managing an infrastructure team through a migration from
on-premise server infrastructure to a cloud-hosted
solution was another challenge. This was a critical
project that had a significant impact on our customers,
and we had to ensure that we could complete it without any
significant disruptions. One particular challenge we faced
was with the use of websockets. Websockets allowed us to
establish a persistent connection between our servers and
our customers' web browsers, which was essential for
real-time collaboration and other features. However, we
had to be very careful to ensure that our implementation
of websockets did not compromise our customers' privacy
and security.
</p>
<p>
Maintaining privacy and security for customers' data was a
top priority throughout this project, and we had to follow
strict protocols to achieve this. We worked closely with
our security team to identify potential vulnerabilities
and implement appropriate safeguards. We also conducted
thorough testing to ensure that our migration to the cloud
did not introduce any new security risks. Overall, my
experience as an Engineering Manager at Box, Inc. was both
challenging and rewarding. I continue to learn a great
deal about managing teams across different locations and
navigating complex technical projects.

<h2>Popmenu</h2>
<h3>Lead Software Engineer/Engineering Manager</h3>
<h4>2021-2022</h4>
<p>
At Popmenu I began as a Lead Software Engineer leading a
team of 4 Engineers with an embedded Product Manager and
Product Desginer. I have since taken on an additional team
comprised of 4 Engineers, 2 being off-shore, along with a
Product Manager and Product Designer. I also manage 6
direct engineers to guide them with reaching their Career
Growth, making sure they have everything they need to be
successful in their day to day work as well as in their
future endeavors.
</p>
<p>
Our team is responsible for 95% of the application
footprint. We are currently in progress on rebuilding how
our Menuing Hierarchy is structured.
</p>
<p>
Shortly after joining Popmenu and being assigned a squad,
we quickly went to work on imrpoving our team processes.
We worked together to identify and build our Team Charter
so that everyone currently and incoming squad memebers
were all on the same page of how we worked as a squad.
</p>
<p>
I am currently working to establish an online presence for
our Engineering team by building a Popmenu Engineering
site. This will allow our Engineers to share their
learnings in our day to day work as well as share their
discoveries within their own Engineering adventures.

<h2>Listen360</h2>
<h3>Engineering Manager/Web Architect</h3>
<h4>2018-2021</h4>
<p>
At Listen360 I am the Engineering Manager/Web Architect
leading the charge for defining how we build our
Applications as we move forward. I am responsible for 5
Engineers. I help them with planning their Career Growth,
making sure they have everything they need to be
successful in their day to day work as well as in their
future endeavors.
</p>
<p>
I work closely with our CTO, Product Designer and other
Business stakeholders to guide our Roadmap.
</p>
<p>
I introduced an improved On-Boarding process that allows
our new hires to come aboard and begin contirbution much
more quickly. My latest new hires were able to begin
contributing in weeks as compared to months using our
previous On-Boarding Process.
</p>
<p>
I am currently leading and architecting our initiative to
replace our Server Side Rails views with new Single Page
Applications. We will be serving a mix of Ruby on Rails
3.2 with a Vue.js and TailwindCSS powered Component
Library that we are building internally. The long term
goal is to completely replace all of our Ruby on Rails ERB
templates using our in-house Vue.js/TailwindCSS Component
Library.
</p>
<p>
Successfully helped lead an initiative to migrate from our
current Hosting provider, Rackspace, to AWS. This
initiative makes use of many of the services AWS provides
as well as some that are not. I have helped to build out
and architect our new platform using Terraform to build
our infrastructure as code. We are integrating a CI/CD
workflow using CodePipeline, CodeDeploy and CodeBuild
products. Our deployments will be facilitated in a
Blue/Green manor with manual, as well as automated, steps
within the pipeline. Our datastore will run through
multiple RDS instances.

<h2>Manheim</h2>
<h3>Advisory Software Engineer - Team Lead</h3>
<h4>December 2014 - January 2018</h4>
<p>
My responsibilities at Manheim consist of being a mentor
to many of the teams as an Advisory Engineer. Currently I
am helping to assist our Enterprise Business Intelligence
team with a strategic rollout of Adobe Analytics using
Adobe DTM. My everyday responsibilities consist of being
the Team Lead for one of 25 capability teams at Manheim.
</p>
<p>
Our most recent project was a complete redesign, visually
and architecturally, of the Manheim Market Report for our
customers to view transaction history for a given Year,
Make, Model, Style or VIN. This new experience is a
ReactJS frontend with a Ruby on Rails API backend.
</p>
<p>
I was involved from day one with the architectural design
of this new approach for this application. We chose to use
a Rails API backend due to the performance advantages and
the current skillset of the team members. The backend API
was designed as an Aggregate API that allows for multiple
requests to be sent and a single response returned with
the payload requested.
</p>
<p>
The React application is a consumer of our backend API,
dubbed gateway_api. It also is a consumer of other
internal API's within the Manheim family of applications.
We use Redux for internal state management. Redux Saga is
used for handling side-effects in our store.

Mending Soul comes from the healing we have to do as a
Planet. It is so very important that we as humans show
compassion to one another not just in dire times of need
but all the time. Mending Soul hopes to help facilitate
those types of interactions.
</p>
<p>
Our immediate focus is to help fulfill the needs of
Healthcare Workers, First Responders and those who are in
situations where PPE(Personal Protective Equipment) is a
must. Phase 1 is to do outreach through Facebook to either
fulfill needs where we can ourselves or be able to make a
connection between a Request for an Item with a Creator
who can fulfill that request. Phase 2 will bring that same
model online via a Distribution platform where Creators
can go online to find those Requests and make the
connection on their own.
