I was a backend Scala engineer helping modernize the hotel API servers and ETL jobs by integrating with Typelevel libraries like Cats Effect and Monix Newtypes, integrating with updated vendor APIs and data sources, and participating in an on-call rotation.

I was backend Scala engineer and local sbt expert. I built and maintained two Scala ZIO services: the first transformed external commands into internal service formats and orchestrated messages to internal services; the second asynchronously processed delayed commands using Kafka and ZIO Streams.

• Guided migrations to Scala 3 and ZIO 2.x.
• Wrote an sbt plugin that integrates a custom OpenAPI generator to generate case classes.
• Co-built APIs with OpenAPI, tapir and ZIO Http, with generative ZIO and Golang tests.
• Aided transitioning from NewRelic to OpenTelemetry.

I was a backend Scala engineer and Scala/sbt expert. I helped to modernize Scala microservices and Spark Promotional Forecasting ETL jobs, as well as various operational tasks to help improve reliability and testability.

• Orchestrated Spark upgrade from 2.4.5 to 3.0.1.
• Implemented caching and improved reliability of Gitlab CI and deployment pipelines.
• Augmented on-call duties with Ammonite scripts using Doobie and Cats Effect.

I was a backend Scala engineer and Scala "expert". I was a part of two different teams: the first built infrastructure for a company-wide Datalake and ETL paradigm as well as Scala functional programming libraries built with Typelevel tools like Cats Effect and http4s; the second was a product team where I aided a migration from monolith to microservices, an upgrade from Scala 2.11 to 2.12, and advocated functional programming practices.

• Taught a introductory Scala course to beginners!
• Supported conversion of a monolith ML runner and data analysis application to microservices.
• Co-architected and built a Datalake and ETL solution with Alluxio and Scio/Apache Beam.
• Developed an Event Sourced application for declaring and scheduling Scio/Beam jobs.
• Maintained Scala libraries intended to standardize use of third-party tools across the company.

I was a full-stack engineer working on Scala backend and TypeScript front ends. I wore a variety of hats, but a large portion of my work involved managing the kiosk payment systems, helping rewrite the kiosk UI, working towards ADA certification for the kiosk UI, and on-call duties.

• Fixed a faulty card reader integration with a several hundred thousand dollar revenue impact.
• Productionized ML models and managed our transition from Caffe to Tensorflow.
• Developed a new kiosk UI from the ground up with ES2018 and Web Components.
• Implemented a kiosk screen reader with local text-to-speech, a chrome extension, and PulseAudio.
