Lead Software Engineer @ At MyFitnessPal, I helped drive the migration from a Ruby-on-Rails monolith application toward a service-oriented architecture, first with a focus on integration with external partners, and then, after being acquired by Under Armour, building out new features and maintaining existing code. I served as a leader in RESTful API design, finding the balance among backward-compatibility, client simplicity, service efficiency, and adherence to established standards. I advocated for the adoption of Swagger as our API specification format, to allow quick, flexible implementations of services and clients, as well as to enable interactive documentation and test areas. I was a team lead for over a year, which presented an exciting set of new challenges, including mentoring junior developers and an intern on their career paths, as well as working with the product team to develop high-level estimates of the time and effort required to design and implement new features.

I was involved in building and maintaining Beatport Mixes (a platform for DJs to create and sell long-form mix sets), Beatport DJs (a social and promotional tool used by over 250,000 DJs worldwide), and several RESTful APIs. As a database developer, I specialized in building efficient data models and optimizing our applications' and APIs' integration with the data layer. We applied many of the tenets of Scrum to our development process.
