Part of a team of 4 developing a relationship management system for Premera. The APIs and data are hosted in Azure/Cosmos DB. Developing APIs for the system entities (Brokers, Agents, etc.) hosted using Azure APIM.

• Creating Azure Functions for watching Cosmos DB changes and reading/writing to Event Hub and Service Bus instances.
• All APIs, functions, and Azure resources include automated Azure DevOps deployment.

Worked on the Card team to develop and maintain the services that handle redeeming and reloading Starbucks Cards. The services were .NET/.NET Core Web APIs hosted on either Azure or on-prem. The services hosted on Azure used Azure Service Fabric.

• Developed the Bookkeeper service which read from an Azure Service Bus and wrote the results to a SQL database.
• Used Splunk and Azure Insights to do research or monitor the health of services. Used Azure DevOps and Jenkins/Octopus for  build/deployment.
• Used PowerShell and Postman for API testing, creating JWTs, and local automation.

Technologies:  .NET/.NET Core, APIS, Azure, Service Fabric, Service Bus, SQL Server, Splunk, Azure DevOps, Jenkins, Octopus, PowerShell, Postman, JWT, API Testing, Datadog, New Relic.

Designed a Web API service to handle test data for an electronics manufacturing company.  Designed a process for them to transition to the API to read/write test data instead of accessing the SQL database directly.

• The work included a working prototype .NET Core API service
• Developed a working prototype .NET WPF client.

Developed a React/Redux website hosted on AWS that tracks cement trucks and construction delivery trucks. A tablet in the truck gives driving directions and allows the driver to communicate with the dispatcher to track the location and estimated time of arrival.

• Developed the first .NET microservice (previous services were Java) responsible for truck status. The microservice used C#/Web API and was hosted on AWS in a Kubernetes cluster.
• Developed a process where a multi-container docker application was generated automatically for each .Net microservice project so developers could run and debug integration tests.
• Using React/Redux, implemented filters that controlled which trucks were displayed on the map.
