Work Experience

WebbDealer Software, LLC (Founder)

Software Engineer (04/2017 - present)

  • Founded a startup company which develops a Software as a Service system for smaller used car dealerships.
  • Involved in all aspects of the software development process.
  • Architectual decision to convert the existing monolithic PHP application to a Java (Spring Boot) stateless REST API. This decision was made to enhance security as well as provide a more scalable product.
  • Service Oriented Architecture is used to separate the main dealer application from the “Vehicle Catalog”, which is responsible for storing general vehicle data for every VIN lookup. The services communicate via REST.
  • Domain Driven Design is used in the development process to improve flexibility and code readability. Many SOLID principles are used to allow for loose coupling between packages. This allows the application to be broken into separate services, if needed.
  • Best practices used when designing the REST API, such as plural nouns and API versioning. Each endpoint returns an appropriate status code.
  • Spring HATEOAS used to create discoverable API endpoints.
