Software Engineer, Special Operations
2006 - 2010
I worked for Endeca, which was acquired by Oracle for $1.1B in 2011. Endeca was a pioneer in search and information retrieval. Predominantly worked on the CEO's special projects team, pioneering productizations of our technology, helping the company prove ROI to penetrate new segments. My teams and I worked in a forward-deployed manner, working with customers to prototype and develop novel, high-scale applications on Endeca, which addressed specific business inefficiencies such as high-volume global staffing, auto warranty claims, and optimal part selection for manufacturing design. Our work helped incubate Endeca's Business Intelligence product line, which became Oracle BI.
