Sr. Developer

Pfizer Inc.

My duties at Pfizer mainly consists of Laravel/Vue work. While most of each day is spent working on a micro team that is part of a larger team, on occasion I am asked to overlook a PR for someone else on my macro team. This leads to better understanding of my position, the work others are doing, how the two relate and the larger picture for our macro team. Other than Vue/Laravel I have been active in the following:

  • Livewire
  • AlpineJS
  • Transition projects to Vue3
  • Custom Pfizer API's
  • Serverless architecture (RDS, ECS)
  • Ansible
  • Rundeck (automation)
  • Documentation
