Requirements and Architecture

I have deep experience working with stakeholders from executive to individual contributor and across the software disciplines (design, backend, integration, frontend), as well as business product owners, SMEs, or input providers to gather, evaluate, and influence the necessary requirements to assure strong implementation success. I’m able to translate and educate from technical to non-technical for all audiences, I’ve delivered product training, and I work within my engineering team to help mentor and guide development towards optimal approaches.

Project Management

I am well versed in Scrum/Agile project management methodologies, with experience both as a team member and a team leader. I've also run several projects with small development teams, managing the entire lifecycle of those projects.

Skuid Inc.Feb 2017 - Present (8 years and 10 months)

Skuid is an extensible low-code platform for application interface development. I have served in several positions at Skuid both in deliveries/proserve and product engineering. My abilities to plan at the system level and work at the granular level have afforded me many advantages in these positions.

Senior Solution Architect Apr 2022 - Present (3 years and 8 months)

Software Engineer 2 Nov 2020 - Apr 2022 (1 year and 4 months)

As a software engineer at Skuid, I work primarily on our “managed cloud” offering as a backend developer. I have a few primary focuses in this role.

• Skuid Cloud data authorization layer
• External datasource connectors
• Advising and consulting on feature implementation and product direction

These areas of concern consist of several micro-services which I and my team maintain and expand. They each are written in either Golang or Javascript+Typescript (nodejs). They use PostgreSQL for configuration storage and connect to client-owned SQL databases with rich data security and access controls. These connections serve as the backbone for Skuid’s frontend application development toolkit.

The Skuid product is a very “new thing”, and as such presents an interesting challenge regarding what it ought to implement, and how. My background in other commercial and enterprise application development has given me the ability to thoughtfully influence the direction of the Skuid product. It is gratifying to see something I’ve been so involved with be successful at solving challenges for other companies.

Senior Solution Engineer and Solution Architect Feb 2017 - Nov 2020 (3 years and 9 months)

Working as a solution engineer and architect at Skuid provided me with exposure to many industries and tech stacks.

My primary role in both positions was to implement applications built with the Skuid toolkit for Skuid’s clients. Tasks included communicating with the client throughout the development lifecycle, initial discovery, requirements gathering, story-writing, user interface design, database schema consultation and implementation, declarative implementation with the Skuid toolkit, authoring extension libraries for the Skuid frontend, deployment, processing user feedback, and development iteration.

Additionally, as a Solution Architect, my responsibilities expanded to determining high-level technical approaches and leading implementation teams. Our favorite projects are the ones where our team was brought in early in the design phase, and we were able to be with the project through to the end.

I have served as engineer, architect, or both for projects with the Armed Services and other government agencies, as well as for Fortune 500 enterprises in the following industries:

• Healthcare
• Energy
• Financial services
• Online Retail
• Manufacturing
• Hospitality

Piledriver Consulting LLCOwner, Software Engineer Sep 2014 - Feb 2017 (2 years and 5 months)

Piledriver Consulting provided short-term outsourced development services. I have assisted companies by helping build report applications that are outside the scope or abilities of their ERP applications, and have been involved in upgrading and maintaining critical applications. This typically involved adapting older reports, fixing database tables and views, and general cleanup and validation required for migrating to newer applications.

• Application development
• Database and ERP upgrade support
• Database and Report customization and optimization
• Pre and post upgrade data validation
• VSphere, Windows, and Linux server management

"Fire Team"

I was also part of a group of 5 friends with varying IT skills who would contract out our services to larger businesses after-hours for the purpose of reducing IT backlog for those businesses. Our tasks included everything from hardware retirement to major ERP migrations/upgrades. While the work itself could occasionally be frustrating, this was still a very enjoyable and rewarding time in my career. There was little else I would rather have been doing on a Thursday night than be set up in some company’s conference room with a group of friends at their laptops cranking through a variety of technical challenges.

Custom Intercept SolutionsFull Stack Software Engineer Dec 2011 - Feb 2017 (5 years and 1 month)

Custom Intercept Solutions is a market research company that provides online, on-site, and customized market research and data collection services.

I developed cross-platform custom applications for market analysis and data collection, as well as integrated and streamlined new applications with existing first- and third-party software.

I designed and built a new market research and statistical analysis suite from the ground up which is used both by Custom Intercept Solutions (CIS) and their clients for advanced statistical market analysis. These tools are easily adapted to the ever-changing demands of the market research industry and Custom Intercept Solutions' clientele.

• Created a new statistical analysis web application capable of advanced filtering and cross-tabulation on millions of records in real time. This application is used daily both by CIS and its clients, and provides the primary means of data analysis and reporting.
• Worked with CIS to devise ways of improving their workflow through custom-built software.
• Anticipated CIS client needs and implemented solutions in advance, saving the company money and delivering the client a value-added product.

Renoun Computers, LLC Owner/Partner Aug 2006 - Feb 2017 (10 years and 5 months)
