• As a Development Manager at IBM, I was responsible for managing a team of developers responsible for delivering a security intelligence product that integrated tightly into our main solution. The product was highly computation-centric and had to deal in real time with extremely large data sets. I worked extremely closely with product management and clients, helping to drive and shape the product roadmap. I also worked extremely closely with the development and architecture team, helping shape and drive the underlying foundational architecture of the product as a whole. In the early phases of this role, I was also responsible for directly authoring several key features delivered in the product. In addition to these technical duties, my duties as a manager included direct management of personnel including hiring and compensation.

• As a software developer at Q1 Labs, I held several roles.
• My initial role with the company was to serve as a consultant to create a high-performance normalcy view for our flagship software. I engineered a novel solution in C++ involving a multi-dimensional hypercubes to compute normalcy. However this solution was never able to be put into production as my skill-set in web technologies was seen as more vital to the company.
• I then progressed into a role as a web developer. Over the next several years I was responsible for architecting and driving much of the product suite's key user-interfaces. I introduced an AJAX-like asynchronous technology deep into the product suite before the term "AJAX" had even been coined, in 2003/2004. This custom-built high-performance/quick-deploy/annotation driven AJAX technology stack is still in use in the product today.
• Over time I became a senior team leader / developer on the user interface team. Roles and responsibilities, in addition to those of continuing to develop key product features, included development code reviews, architecture design, new hire training, and increased interaction with clients and third parties.
• In 2010 I joined a new project as a senior developer. This project was a very substantial add-on product that integrated into our flagship software. In this new role I was one of a small team who had to rapidly prototype, develop, and eventually deploy this new application. I was eventually selected to be the development manager of this product as the team grew.
• Q1 Labs was acquired by IBM in 2011.
