Experience
Software Engineer P3/T4 | Northwestern Mutual
September 2022 - Present
I lead building a solution and defining the work to migrate a large piece of functionality from the legacy system to the future state system. I gave a presentation to a large audience on a book about how to structure and operate teams at scale. I migrated and updated a full product to be off of a legacy system and in the future state system. Analyzed, understood, and built an algorithm to gather all products across systems for a case (group), and process them into a new case (group) while only retaining non-sensitive information.
I worked on a front end with some middleware focused team that utilizes JavaScript, TypeScript, NodeJS, ReactJS, Redux, webpack, babel, jest, GraphQL, RegentJS, REST, and many other packages to build a web application to illustrate a life insurance policy, track life insurance policies on a case or business, create a case or business, add people to a case or business, compare policies on a case, composite policies on a case, and validate user inputs. Trained and answered questions for new hires on the system and helped them build out some of their first features.
