Most recent work is API platforms and Microsoft Dynamics 365 integration, owning features from design through deployment and the production incidents that follow.ExperienceSoftware Engineer II, Mountville Mills (Feb 2024 – Present)Remote · Promoted from contractor to full-time, Sep 2024Co-lead on the integration platform connecting Microsoft Dynamics 365 to the company's e-commerce websites, internal apps, and third-party partners during a multi-year ERP cutover. Owned the ProductConfigurations subsystem and the order-processing pipeline (SFTP, XML formatting, EDI). Took on broader platform ownership when the original lead left before full go-live.

Hold the rotating Gatekeeper role for a month at a time, about twice a year. Lead the dev meeting, own daytime production-incident resolution for the team, and review and assign new tasks submitted by business analysts. Also on the weekly after-hours on-call rotation.

Own daytime production incidents for the D365 integration through hypercare. Business analysts and the offshore implementation partner bring integration questions to me directly. Typically take a ticket from root cause to deployed fix and analyst confirmation the same day.

Designed and shipped the ProductConfigurations subsystem. A denormalized read model built on D365's Synapse-linked SQL tables. Stored procedures join D365-native data with business-defined custom properties into a single shape that serves both developers (through DataBridge OData) and business analysts (writing SQL directly). Includes a hand-written OData-to-SQL query layer that added filter, aggregate, distinct, and IN-operator support the framework did not handle natively. Now powers the website, tools built by business analysts, price lists, and dozens of internal product and pricing processes.

Designed and shipped the DataBridge API order-processing pipeline (.NET 8, EF Core). Converts purchase orders to XML and delivers them over SFTP, with separate EDI and web paths. Every customer website, mat-tracking app, e-commerce integration, and EDI partner now submits orders into D365 through it. Built the test project for it from nothing.

Designed hash-based idempotency keys for purchase-order submission. Prevents duplicate ERP writes under retries and concurrent processing.

Built a two-tier cache (in-memory and distributed) for product configurations, shared by the API and the PHP storefront. Cut thousands of redundant ERP round-trips per day.

Stood up a new .NET 10 Website API and wrote the endpoint design specs it was built from. App Service, API Management, Front Door, Application Insights, OpenAPI, and request versioning, with unit tests from the start. Wrote four endpoint specifications (manufacturing history, designs, design images, account preferences) before implementation.

Reworked DataBridge to read from any number of configured data sources. Done for a Microsoft Fabric proof of concept evaluated as a replacement for Synapse. Data sources are selected through environment configuration rather than code changes.

Recovered a production RavenDB instance that had grown to 553 GB and filled its disk. The database went offline and took about 16 minutes to reload. 9,105,364 of its 9,107,139 documents were log entries, and 17 requests out of 6,000 accounted for 97.4% of everything logged. Capped the payloads, shrinking one document about 608 times, and cut write growth from 1.85 GB per hour to under roughly 80 MB per hour.

Cleared a 4,400-order sync backlog by fixing a join that was fetching rows it then discarded. The bad join accounted for roughly 46 seconds of each order's 57. Cycles went from two minutes to seconds and the queue drained.

Traced silent order loss to the logging framework itself and fixed it at three construction sites instead of 246 call sites. An aspect-oriented logger threw into its caller, so about 0.7% of orders were dropped per cycle under concurrency, and 104 designs were lost in a single day. Wrapped the logger so logging failures can no longer kill the work being logged.

Stopped a Service Bus retry storm where 89% of in-flight messages were retries rather than work. The topic was holding 1,534 scheduled copies, some on their 39th attempt.

Rewrote the SFTP order-drop pipeline to upload concurrently, with cancellation handling. Replaced a single-threaded uploader that had become a bottleneck during peak order windows.

Scanned 13,773,869 blobs to reconcile 3,474,418 design records and retire 463,723 stale ones.

Provisioned the Website API's Azure environment in Terraform, planned clean at 25 resources. App Service, Key Vault, app registration, and Front Door, with the one step that cannot be expressed without a dependency cycle documented in the configuration.

Integrated Azure Event Grid with Managed Identity for the image-conversion pipeline. Removed the shared secret, and the rotation work that came with it.

Led the work to move the PHP/Blade storefront onto D365 through DataBridge. Token caching, customer-restricted product filtering, AJAX consolidation, and multi-division support across seven divisions. Shipped as part of the company-wide ERP cutover.

Built and maintained the partner integrations that orders arrive through. Wayfair EDI personalization, LL Bean, multi-tenant Shopify with location filtering and duplicate-SKU guards, and FedEx and UPS shipment data.

Moved a legacy WinForms mat-tracking application off direct SQL stored procedures and onto DataBridge REST and Azure Key Vault. Production-floor terminals kept sub-second response times throughout.

Inherited an Adobe Illustrator C++ plugin whose build no longer worked and brought it up to date. C++20, Visual Studio 2022, the current Illustrator SDK, and a current libcurl. Restored the build and got the Adobe automation that depended on it running again.
