Senior Software Engineer | InformData (formerly SJV Data), Atlanta, GA — Jun 2023 - Apr 2026
- Diagnosed a vendor round-robin race condition causing duplicate assignments on internal accounts: traced the bug to a query-then-write window where uncommitted reads bypassed the rotation counter. Worked within a constraint that prevented changing the commit point, and shipped a fix that preserved intake throughput.
- Built a personal AI development desk in VS Code (Copilot Chat, GitHub Models) with purpose-built skills for code review, DB exploration, Postman/API testing, Jira communications, Confluence documentation, and code-standards enforcement — collapsing context-switching across tools into a single chat surface and absorbing tasks that previously required a teammate’s time.
- Owned ambiguous production issues end-to-end: reproduced failures, formed hypotheses, validated root causes through data analysis, and iterated on solutions.
- Developed mental models for tracing data flow through distributed systems to isolate where transformations diverge from expected behavior.
- Partnered with product and QA to translate vague business requirements into testable technical specifications.
- Led the technical implementation of a multi-sprint data provider migration effort coordinating across teams, managing scope creep, and communicating blockers early.
- Applied defensive programming patterns: null handling, boundary conditions, graceful degradation when upstream data is malformed.
- Championed observability by adding structured logging and metrics to surface data quality issues before they hit production.
- Contributed to a domain-specific language (DSL) engine — a rules execution platform that evaluates business logic against incoming records to produce filtered, classified results.
- Maintained backwards compatibility during migrations by running old and new paths in parallel for validation.
