RESUME

March 2021 - November 2021

As a full stack developer, I worked on a team that was the core of many essential internal assets utilized daily by hundreds of thousands of IBM employees. I independently designed, developed, and deployed my own gRPC services with REST API interfacing into production, as well as paired with team members to manage the CI/CD pipeline of our other services. I was involved in every step in the process from designing the business logic, testing, rolling out updates, networking, authentication, data migration, and sunsetting legacy services. Part of my role also included serving an on-call rotation to monitor and triage failures, ensuring the safety and availability of our 33 services and 22 host machines. 

Additionally, I joined an invention circle and filed my first patent application with the United States Patent and Trademark office within the first year and a half of my career. I enjoyed the process of brainstorming, refining, presenting, and defending an invention so much that I shared my experience with my core team. With their interest piqued, I spearheaded a second patenting initiative to involve these colleagues in the invention process. I lead a weekly collaborative session that took my team's vague — but inspired — brainstormings and produced an invention disclosure document to present to an Intellectual Property committee over the course of 6 weeks. As of September 2021, we are in the queue awaiting our opportunity to present the disclosure for our invention to a committee and receive a determination of its viability as a patent.
