Hi I am darnel_j or Darnel L Jones Jr.
I am a self taught Web Developer with 5 years of professional coding experience. I obtained my Bachelor of Science degree in Interdisciplinary Studies with a concentration in Computer Science from Liberty University.

I currently serve as a Sr. Technical Consultant for FINEOS Ltd, the leading insurance software company in the EMEA and North American regions. In this role I serve as a multi-regional lead technical consultant coding in Java and managing jenkins software deployments for an application hosted on AWS. I ensure company data security protocols are being followed throughout the SDLC. I spend most of my time creating, designing and developing custom features based on the clients business requirements. I also leverage industry leading integration and database troubleshooting software such as: Postman, SQL Developer, Docker and AWS Console.

I began my career as a Debug Technician for NCR, Inc, a global technology company based out of Atlanta, Georgia where I specialized in troubleshooting computer software and hardware POS malfunctions for their remanufacturing depot. During this time, I was pursuing my degree with a focus in Computer Science to acquire a sound overall knowledge of Microsoft .NET, C#, Java and other OOP disciplines.

After nearly 2 years with NCR, I transitioned into a developer role as a UI/UX Engineering Intern for Amobee, Inc an advertising and technology company based out of Redwood City, California. I was later hired as a full time UI/UX Engineer and served on the Social Media Engineering team. As a memeber of the UI Engineering team I was an active participant in daily Agile Scrum meetings, developed and scoped project requirements with Project Managers and Product Owners while providing code-coverage as the main UI developer for all of Amobee's Social Media campaign management platforms (Snapchat,Facebook, Pinterest and Twitter). It is in this role that I converted project requirements into front-end code using AngularJs, Angular versions: 1.6,2,4 & 5, HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript and TypeScript while contributing to API (Java) tasks when needed. This includes updating existing REST calls for the client side.

After 2 years with Amobee, I relocated to Chicago, IL and transitioned into a ReactJs Developer role and served as a UI Application Architect for Bank of America-Chicago. Developing in a node based environment and applying my fluency in ReactJS, HTML, CSS, and Javascript to help build internal and customer-facing web applications. In this role I utilize the best practces of functional programming within the ReactJs library, leveraging opensource tools and useful plugins such as Openfin , AgGrid , ChartJs and HighCharts to create dynamic, responsive and custom React componenents.
