  • Senior Programming Analyst II
    6/1/2021 - 12/1/2023

    Orchestrated the design and implementation of TaxEngine, a flexible tax calculation solution that empowers operators to define rules across markets without requiring technical changes. Emphasized CQRS, Event Oriented Architecture, and Event Sourcing principles during development using the Axon framework. Leveraged Domain-Driven Design (DDD) and Test-Driven Development (TDD) to deliver a fully tested backend product well ahead of frontend development milestones, achieving an average test coverage of 89%, peaking at 96% in specific repositories.

    Introduced the Event Modeling technique to standardize the understanding of product owner requirements and solution paths, fostering a unified comprehension of business processes and creating a dynamic documentation system. This practice proved invaluable for evaluating existing software behavior and designing changes, and included collaborative desk checks involving both the technical team and product owners for enhanced clarity and alignment.

    Surpassed project timelines, successfully delivering the system into production ahead of schedule while maintaining a high-performance level, with fewer than 10 issues identified in over a year post-production. Established a robust automated testing culture where every identified issue or use case was transformed into an automated test case, significantly contributing to the system's stability and reliability.

    Implemented SOLID principles, ensuring a high-quality codebase. Conducted thorough code reviews and provided comprehensive mentoring, which was essential in maintaining consistent code quality and design patterns. As the most experienced Java developer in a team transitioning from C#, navigated the team through its inaugural Java project and assumed an informal software architect role within the squad. Fostered a collaborative environment within a diverse, hybrid-remote team, ensuring seamless communication and teamwork.
