Principal Software Engineer at PTC who built 10+ cloud microservices and eliminated approximately $200K in annual cloud waste.
United StatesAt PTC, I developed an event-driven platform of 10+ Java and Spring Boot microservices across AWS and Azure. I also built customer self-service features and Atlas Cloud Connect, a browser-based RDP/SSH application.
I implemented AWS resource reconciliation that removed thousands of orphaned instances and eliminated approximately $200K in annual cloud waste. I lead a six-person Agile engineering team while continuing hands-on production development, and I ship software every two weeks.
