• Build Pendo Data Sync's frontend as the integrations team's lead frontend engineer, including the direct connection to Snowflake. Make backend changes when needed.
• Use AI agents to plan, implement, review, and validate production work, and check their output myself. Led an engineering session on this workflow, including how to steer agents and use Codex harness features.

• As Production Support Engineer, built AlertNow features in ASP.NET MVC 3 to forward client data to Blackboard's new Connect 5 product during a mass client migration. Also fixed AlertNow bugs.
• Designed and built the SIS Integration Tool, a C# WPF desktop application, and wrote SQL queries and stored procedures for maintenance, usage reporting, and issue research.
