About Stan Devitt

I serve as manager and team lead for a team focused on driving efficient, sustainable development and architecture for a large project. We develop container based tools using Spring Boot, Vue.js, and React that provide custom analytics and streamline software development for large teams. I work as an architect, hands on developer, motivator, mentor, and trainer, I help transform development and testing. This involves guiding teams through major changes in the software development and delivery cycle through the introduction of good design, teamwork, appropriate tool selection, customization and automation all with an overall goal of increasing software quality and development efficiency. I work cross platform using: most scripting languages such as Bash, Python, Perl, Groovy; DBMS systems (Oracle, Mysql); ELK stacks; data modelling, normalization and transformation; automatic-code generation and schema based semantic markup. I automate the setup and use of of high availability server clusters on various OS’s, using tools such as Puppet, Jetty, Apache, Tomcat, Nexus, Vault, Rancher, Docker, Jenkins and TeamCity and various kinds of artifact stores. I provide expert level guidance to teams on the use of the associated build and development tools such as Perfoce, Git, Gradle, Maven, Make, NPM, their associated IDE’s such as VSCode, Eclipse and IDEA,and the underlying infrastructure for use with languages such as Groovy, Java, and C++. Past accomplishments include lecturing and teaching in computational complexity, analysis of algorithms and operating systems; authoring and/or co-authoring W3C specifications (MathML - now an ISO standard) and W3C Notes, interactive textbooks and supplements, full interactive mathematical libraries, and work on automated reasoning systems for medical diagnosis through use of semantic web technologies and image analysis.
