  • Principal Software Engineer
    April 2023 – Current | Starbucks, Microsoft, HCA Healthcare
    • As a Principal Software Engineer at Starbucks, I led the groundbreaking “Digital Platform Studio,” architecting a state-of-the-art, secure multi-application suite that redefined technical excellence, earning widespread recognition within the organization. Utilizing Next.js for dynamic frontends, Node.js as a backend-for-frontend, and Java/.NET for robust backend systems, I empowered teams with flexible, end-to-end technology stacks. I drove innovation with Azure DevOps and Argo CD for seamless CI/CD automation, customized secure Docker containers, and integrated first- and third-party APIs with OAuth for enhanced security and metadata retrieval. By automating onboarding with an archetype project and dynamically managing sensitive data via Azure Secret Manager, I ensured scalability and efficiency.
    • As a Frontend/Mobile Architect, I crafted a high-performance web and mobile solution for a leading healthcare provider using React Native and Expo SDK, implementing a custom UI library, Storybook with Atomic Design, and a robust API layer with React Query. I streamlined deployments with GitHub Actions for CI/CD, integrated Firebase for feature flags and A/B testing, and leveraged Dynatrace for user flow monitoring, delivering exceptional customer satisfaction.

    • As a Senior Software Engineer, I revolutionized the California Concealed Carry Weapon Project by architecting a cutting-edge Micro Frontend UI using Vue.js, seamlessly migrating legacy applications to a modern, intuitive interface powered by Azure services. I implemented a robust monorepo with Nx build system, enabling multiple enterprise applications to coexist with independent team control, while leveraging Java backend services with Okta APIs for secure authentication. By integrating Storybook for component-driven development, I crafted reusable, consistent UI components that streamlined development.
    • As a Frontend Senior Software Engineer at Alliant, I engineered scalable, responsive web applications within an Nx monorepo using Angular, delivering an Interactive Analysis Portal that integrated seamlessly with Power BI for dynamic, brand-aligned data visualization. I optimized workflows with Nx Cloud for faster CI/CD, utilized Jest and Cypress for testing, and implemented NgRx for predictable state management. By embedding Power BI reports via Angular SDK and leveraging Nx generators, I enhanced data-driven decision-making while mentoring junior developers and ensuring code quality through rigorous reviews, driving unparalleled efficiency and innovation.
