Steven Gassert

- Designed and lead a team of engineers to deliver an API which serves billions of daily requests to reduce the largest contentful paint metric on https://console.aws.amazon.com

- Lead a team of front end engineers to deliver a website for AWS builders so that they could more efficiently deliver new products on https://console.aws.amazon.com. This website included mechanisms for community feedback, contribution, and documentation feedback.

- Delivered features and maintained the front end, backend APIs, and infrastructure of a tool responsible for allowing AWS builders to release new products on https://console.aws.amazon.com

- Led the technical design / breakdown of new features for IBM’s talent acquisition platform.

- Enabled 2000 recruiters to manage candidates through all stages of the application life cycle.

- Designed, built, and maintained APIs to consume vastly different data sources and output uniform information about IBM job postings and the people who applied to them.

- Coordinated with teams across IBM to provide a shared feature management platform. Used a tiered roll out strategy for new functionality to receive feedback earlier in the development lifecycle.

- Created an open-source component library so clients could easily integrate data from one of IBM cloud’s AI offerings into their own user interfaces.

- Participated in mentoring a fellow colleague and designed a project to help them learn the fundamentals of software engineering and bring a valuable service to coordinate tickets within their customer support team.

- Identified gaps in the way the web application for IBM's on-premise AI service was monitored. Successfully onboarded the larger Site Reliability Group on to New Relic which allowed for the first time confidence that on-premise users had 99.99% uptime when accessing their web application.

- Took initiative and contributed PR's to the front end repository of the product where I was a Site reliability engineer.
