• Led a team of 3 to implement Secured Card specific functionality in the website used by Capital One's call center agents, such as the ability to check the balance of and pay the security deposit on the account
• Developed RESTful Golang orchestration AWS Lambda APIs to enable millions of Capital One's Secured Card customers to increase their credit limit after their account has been established
• Created an automated end-to-end testing framework to create pre-conditioned Secured Card testing accounts to use with internal systems and to allow for integration within CI/CD pipelines to test overall system functionality before deployment, reducing the time to create test data from 15 minutes to 30 seconds

Capital One

• Wrote part of the core logic for an AWS Lambda, AWS EMR, and Apache Spark-based decision engine that modifies a business card customer's APR based on payment habits replacing a legacy, on-premise system saving the company $10M annually
• Implemented a Java Spring Boot API and Vue.js-based UI tile used by call center agents to see information regarding a customer's remaining statement balance, allowing agents to provide another option for customers to pay their bill

Red Hat

• Wrote unit tests for Machine Learning Container Creator (MLCC), a command line utility that installs a user's desired machine learning packages in a Docker container for Red Hat operating systems in a single command hiding the messy details and eliminating the risk of corrupting the host operating system
• Created an ML app using OpenCV and TensorFlow that identifies handwritten digits via camera to demonstrate the MLCC workflow and presented in front of Red Hat employees and executives

Red Hat

Worked on the team developing Linchpin, an application that provides a command-line interface and Python API for provisioning and managing resources across multiple infrastructures. I developed the Linchpin fetch feature to retrieve remote topology configurations and integrate them locally to allow users to quickly restore previously working sessions. Linchpin has been downloaded over 225k times.
