Software Development Manager Feb 2023 - Jan 2024

DMI (Digital Management, LLC), McLean, Virginia, USA

I used my software engineering skills to develop a comprehensive technical documentation database in Confluence, filled with not only charts and high level overviews but also links to specific places in source code. My strength lay in my ability to deeply understand source code and simultaneously link its functionalities with business objectives, ensuring our engineering team had the insights needed for success.

Software Development Manager Jul 2014 - Feb 2023

Simplex Mobility, Edmonton, Canada

• I led the transition from external agencies to an in-house development team, reducing development costs by more than 50% and improving project speed.
• I built and managed a team of 10, shaping what became not just my favorite job, but a rewarding journey for my team too—evidenced by their impressive average stay of 5.4 years. The project we poured our hearts into was acquired, a testament to our hard work and a success I view as a shared victory for our business.
• I focused the team on keeping the project maintainable and well-tested with around 80% test coverage, 45k+ Rspecs and 600+ end-to-end tests
• I incorporated business requirements into our product to make sure that it works for both huge corporations (like #1 bank in Canada) and smaller companies.
• I promoted a culture of ownership and constant improvement. “You and me, we will support this code for the next 5 years, so let’s make it right”
