It was fantastic meeting everyone at the open-house on Wednesday- from my conversations with Jeff over company culture and the collaboration of small-teams I feel my experience as a contractor would make these challenges new but familiar. From my conversations with Jimmy and John, I understand the mobility and opportunity teeming inside of BAH. From my two colleagues and friends who already work with you : Damon Otero and Schuyler Moran, I know I can thrive alongside your developers.

I’d like to meet any opportunities you may offer with the product development and deployment expertise that I have developed over the past three years. I have previously worked within teams and independently to deliver quality telecommunication product solutions. These range from JEXL/SCXML callflow solutions with SOAP/REST API interactions for unique client contracts, to flagship applications featuring Postgres backend databases fed by java middleware and a React frontend.

In my experience as a software engineer I have come to find that small-team collaboration can tackle almost any task. Having worked in a smaller company has accustomed me to an all-hands-on-deck operandi to encourage and collaborate rather than passively delegate, and the technical cleanliness to bind products in strong documentation rather than leaving colleagues blind. Good engineering doesn’t only avoid technical debt, but plans ahead for the next use case and upgrade. I’m versed in using Confluence to maintain internal resources on product development and customer contracts, as well as Jira for Agile development.

My most recent development at Swampfox Technologies is ‘Swampfox Power’- a modularized upgrade of our existing Dynamic Route Manager to assist power companies. This product grew out of two competing factors : a small staff being bogged down by support incidents, and the need for our primary product to be flexible to meet various contracts. This led to each client having one or two engineers familiar with their unique environment. SF Power takes nearly half of our company’s contracts- Power Companies- and provides a standard library of common needs, such as billpay, identification and verification, and emergency carve-outs for downed power lines and DOJ rollouts to ease future development, prevent monolithic codebases, and make every environment navigable.

I am a comfortable interface between engineer and business, a developer familiar with heads-down deadlines, and I hope to be a familiar coworker and friend in the coming weeks.
