Senior Cloud Software Developer

·   I work primarily as part of a five person team implementing various features of our Azure hosted front-end and back-office applications written in ASP.NET MVC 4.  The tasks vary widely per three week sprint, and we often trade individual features back and forth during successive sprints.  A few examples follow.

·   Currently working on an Azure Search (Elasticsearch/Lucene) proof-of-concept application to demonstrate how we can better implement user-friendly search in the web application.

·   Added Azure Redis Cache to the application layer to speed up our back-end interactions.

·   Implemented Open Authentication via Facebook, LinkedIn, Google and Yahoo which was then passed in the next sprint to the Project Manager for testing and refinement.

·   Primary architect for the majority of the front-end JavaScript.  Due to the nature of the SPA portion of the product I picked Backbone.Marionette for its flexibility and chose RequireJS for front-end dependency management.  I also integrated Grunt into our MSBuild process which handles our code linting, file concatenation and minification for all assets.

·   Designed the views, logic, and initial process flow for our payment/subscription process which was then handed over to another Senior Developer to wire up to our payment processing vendor. I then took the third sprint to bulletproof the process.

·   Implementing ASP.NET Web API2 controllers in various parts of our products where AJAX can be used to boost client-side performance.

·   Minimal interaction with SQL Server primarily concerned with our front-end authorization/authentication, payment, and subscription tables.  Idea5 employs an Analytics and Data Sciences team that does the heavy lifting in this area.

·   Author unit tests in MSTest using Rhino Mocks for fakes, stubs, and mocks and leveraging autofac as our IoC container.

·   Participate in company-wide brainstorming sessions performed in break-out inter-disciplinary teams.
