Designed and led development of a Service Orchestrator App written in Java. The intent of this project was to demonstrate to stakeholders that the Cloud infrastructure the team had built was ready to begin migrating 50+ apps and services from bare metal to a cloud ecosystem. The Service Orchestrator demoed with support for legacy and modern internal messaging services as well as two different database implementations. It now serves as a production tool and the first cloud migration step.

Rotational Software Engineer

Aug 2021 - Aug 2023

BlackRock

Atlanta, GA

A 2 year rotational program where I worked with a new dev team every 6 months gaining experience in the Backend, Frontend, and Cloud tech stacks. In those 2 years I built UI elements utilized by BlackRock's portfolio management software Aladdin, enhancing the user experience for 200+ institutional clients. I also implemented, tested, and released multiple REST APIs to production in my rotations with the portfolio management and accounting teams. In my time on the Cloud/DevOps team I constructed CI/CD Pipelines within AzureDevOps and built automation tools and systems that support the 20+ dev teams at BlackRock.
