Reggie Wilbanks

On contract, various projects.

Reported directly to the CEO, and worked side-by-side with the CTO to define the architectural roadmap and technical direction for the company. Directly managed six Director level reports, and was responsible for an engineering staff of 50+ developers. Managed engineering resource staffing, held performance reviews, approved vacation requests, participated in the interview process as well as made hiring decisions, acted as a stakeholder, company representative, technical evangelist, and was ultimately responsible for all software engineering for the company.

This role was an equal mix of development and managerial duties. Developed with (as well as led) a group of developers using Adobe Flex, Java, and BlazeDS, to develop the Thetus flagship product Savanna. Savanna is a web based semantic modeling and analytic platform designed to facilitate the science and art of defensible story telling. Designed and developed a Flex module loading framework to support dynamic loading and unloading of code module sets based on constraints such as access control lists. This proved very useful to break up the monolithic nature of Flex applications and dramatically decrease application load times. Led a group of up to twelve developers. Directed day to day work, held performance reviews, approved vacation requests, participated in the interview process, and disciplinary actions.
