Experience
IoT High Volume Data Collection Back End
设计后端基础设施并编写核心软件，通过机器学习算法收集和处理大量数据，以检测特定模式，帮助客户提高盈利能力.
When I was hired, the current infrastructure was buckling under a minimal load; the company hadn't even scaled up to full capacity and it was already failing. I reworked the architecture to be such that their server costs would be low, which was critical to support their market price point, 与他们最初要求我使用的方法相比，每月为他们节省了数千美元. This cost savings enabled their business model to be profitable.
The design also relied as much as possible on managed services, so that their ongoing IT expenses were minimized.

Internal Sales Process Automation Software
我领导了一个团队的后端和架构开发，该团队创建了一个软件来自动化一家大型跨国技术公司的销售配额和分配过程.
这个项目是一个挑战，因为公司里没有一个人了解销售流程的所有方面. We understood this going in, 我创造了一个非常灵活的设计，能够随着客户的新需求而快速变化.
The sales process rules were also quite complex. An organic process that had evolved over the years, it was adapted well to humans but not as well to digital logic. After we worked out a consistent algorithm the computer could apply reliably, the resulting algorithm enforced three dimensions of constraints (time, sales hierarchy levels, and sales people) for every item in their catalog. 该设计经过了良好的测试，并被测试广泛覆盖，以确保其按照要求运行.
事实是，一个对遵循它的人来说似乎很简单的过程，在编码到软件中时可能就不那么简单了. 我的部分专长是将这样的算法提炼成其组成部分，并确保它能够随着项目和用户需求的扩展和发展.

SaaS Project
我曾与一家初创公司合作，设计一个核心后端技术堆栈，以支持他们的SaaS产品.
As the product has a free tier, it was imperative that the incremental cost-per-user was as low as possible. 我以这样一种方式设计和实现了核心架构，即最小化他们正在进行的服务器成本，同时允许通过添加附加功能来轻松扩展它，这些功能将增加一些客户愿意支付的价值.
The system we created was able to run at an extremely low cost per user ($0.012/用户/月)，使公司能够快速扩展并向高级用户收取合理的费率.
