I am an essential member of the Agile@Deltek agile leadership team at Deltek. I provide mentorship and coaching to 3 software engineers, oversee code changes, and conduct unit testing for intricate computer programs as per program specifications. Additionally, I lead planning meetings and standups to ensure smooth operations. I took on the role of co-lead for the unit testing initiative, working closely with an architect to establish unit testing standards for the PM Compass product. I also trained and guided engineers on the proper implementation of unit tests.

During my time at PDMI, I provided guidance and direction to a team of engineers. I was responsible for overseeing budgeting, managing code reviews, and coordinating planning initiatives. Additionally, I facilitated and led technology coaching and mentoring sessions to enhance the team's performance and productivity. I successfully managed a diverse range of software development projects, ensuring the delivery of clean and efficient code while maintaining the quality and reliability of software solutions. In addition to my leadership responsibilities, I also created an OAuth 2.0 service using server and middleware in C#; led a project focused on enhancing the performance of 340B qualification, resulting in a remarkable 400% performance boost; and developed multiple Web API 2.0 APIs for both internal and external purposes. Additionally, I facilitated the team's transition from C# / VB.Net to NodeJS and successfully migrated our systems to Amazon Web Services (AWS) from Microsoft Azure. Throughout this transition, I established code and unit testing standards for both C# and NodeJS. Overall, my contributions at PDMI encompassed effective leadership, successful project management, and the implementation of innovative technologies to drive the team's success.
