Allison Transmission

Staff Software Developer

February 2023 – March 2025Indianapolis, Indiana

I moved into a dedicated software role after years of building engineering tools alongside product-development work. The central project was a large data-analysis platform used to turn test and simulation data into repeatable engineering decisions.

What I worked on

  • Created and maintained a 100k+ line analysis platform using C#, TypeScript, React/SolidJS, and D3.
  • Designed a domain-specific language for reusable engineering analyses.
  • Led a security-platform migration across more than 800 engineering workstations.
  • Produced extensive documentation and more than ten hours of training material.

What stayed with me

The work reinforced a lesson that still shapes how I build: an internal tool succeeds when its model matches the way specialists already reason, not when it asks them to become software developers.
