Oct. 2015 - Feb. 2020Madison, Wisconsin AreaThe overall principle guiding my current work was to prepare the DOT for migration to the cloud. To end this, I provided leadership in essential migration projects such as the re-architecture of current applications, research and development of key technologies (AWS, Spring Boot, Kubernetes, Docker, Git, Jenkins, Angular) and piloting of applications in AWS EKS. I served on multiple projects whose goal is to facilitate the migration. Consequently, I filled many roles and took on a variety of assignments. These ranged from application development, research and development of new technologies, delivery of live demos and talks aimed at educating developers in other functional areas, writing recommendations which justify new technologies and developing configuration for our emerging DevOps practices. During my tenure, I designed and developed several production web applications for internal business clients. The applications use Spring Boot, JPA and Java 8. The applications were developed in a Scrum or Kanban environment.
