Current Status – TDA, now Charles Schwab

In August 2022, I moved to Montana and started working for TDA on their widely used AngularJS call center application. This application interacts with dozens of systems to present a comprehensive dashboard for call center agents.

The product, named A2C (Associate to Client), is a critical desktop application for call center issue resolution. My primary responsibility includes:

  • Debug and implement fixes for everything from system configuration to server management tasks
  • Build new UI features from development to production,.
  • Extensive Confluence documentation for releases, new features, as well as retroactively documenting legacy feature details.
  • Monitor applications with Splunk, AppDynamics, xMatters and analyze server logs to pinpoint and troubleshoot application issues.
  • Tools include: XLDeploy, Postman, Jenkins, Putty, FileZilla and VSCode, Git and many more!

Approaching the end of my contract for TDAmeritrade, I applied, interviewed and was hired full-time at Charles Schwab to help take ownership of a new product for the financial regulations department.

Tools include Bamboo, Harness, PCF, Splunk and the usual arsenal of front end web development tools.
