Heavily refactored the monolithic legacy Java Spring software, moving code out to 4 new microservices written in Groovy Grails, connected with new APIs and new Mule ESB data pipelines. Introduced Angular JS views and new mobile-first web designs.
Established the 24/7 on-call duties for the “you-build-it-you-run-it” DevOps team. Relentlessly eliminated false-positives from the Nagios monitoring.
Bootstrapped the IT Services offer, converting early leads through business requirements analysis workshops.
