Leidos / Lockheed Martin (Nov 2021 - June 2021, as a contract programmer)

I completed a successful assignment as a member of a team coding an application for internal corporate use that was added to a suite of software that is used worldwide by all divisions to manage the approval process, intra-company expenditures and oversight of domestic and global defense contracts.

I was the second lead and my responsibilities included front-end coding in Angular (V13) and Material UI, building the server side APIs in .Net, custom PDF report generation using PDFSharp and MigraDoc, as well as a large portion of the SQL server database development to support the application. In addition, the application involved coding rules to ensure ITAR requirements are met in addition to government and corporate compliance. Additionally, currency conversions and localization are necessary for this international software.

I also interfaced with the business analyst team who created the design specifications and have expertise in domestic and international defense contracts. This application passed all user acceptance testing (UAT) in two weeks and was deployed successfully into production upon my contract completion.
