Lead developer of MARCA – an AWS based Operations and Resource Management suite for very-large scale mail-in balloting production.

The suite efficiently meets several operational needs by leveraging fast DynamoDB-Java workgroup lookup routines.

I have driven use of MARCA in order to lead EPI teams toward these goals:

• Implementation of more efficient and accurate payroll processes via external vendor APIs
• Implementation of EPI policies to coerce digitization and coordination of its large and continually changing staffing pool
• Tracking of staff profiles, work history and communications
• Effortless creation and editing of workgroups for purposes of organizing workflow, communications and reporting
• Efficient coordination of machine operator requirements with EPI admin and staff

I am currently developing and Maintaining an iOS AWS Amplify-Swift version of MARCA. Code repo on Git

Senior Software Architect ҉ Western Neighborhoods Project – A Non Profit, San Francisco, CA 08/21 – present

Skills/Expertises: LAMP, CGI/Perl, 3rd party integrations

WNP’s online presence was suffering from many shortcomings left over from previous and incomplete development.

I was hired to address the following urgent tasks which were all accomplished successfully and on time:

• The rescue, re-design, re-factor and re-write of a large and failing Membership & POS system
• The architecture of standard privacy and security policies
• The architecture of new and efficient routines to address a poor and inefficient integration with MySQL
• Investigation and correction of mysterious server downtime and poor performance
• The creation of standard and more intuitive content creation tools via WordPress dependent upon complicated backend tools

Much shell scripting was required and many other complex challenges were addressed. I then moved the entire codebase from a failing ISP to Siteground.
