ABOUT ME
Full Stack / Automation Developer - Concept to Delighted Stakeholders
Full Stack / Automation Developer - Concept to Delighted Stakeholders

Hi,
I productively zoom in on details with engineers and zoom out the to 30,000 ft view with CEOs, CTOs, and CFOs. When designing a user interface, an API, a database, or a development pipeline I uncover the needs of all stakeholders, and prevent XY problems.

I have a wide breath of experience:
Used Maple, Mathematica, and Sage to solve complex math problems
Numerical simulations on Matlab

Built a custom Javascript framework (before React and Angular existed) based on jQuery for a SAAS provider

Enabled users to create custom reports via Word Documents and tag-based text replacement.

Built a Continuous Deployment pipeline with Git and Jenkins

Used C# and ASP.NET MVC to build software used by municipalities

Implemented an online board game

Migrated several legacy databases from various vendors and formats to modern SQL relational databases

Programmatically generated various reports for state agencies.

Built several SOAP and REST servers and clients. Used GraphQL as well.

Generated financial reports based on clinical events and a general ledger.

Generated files to uploaded to Paycom to make sure employees were paid from the correct accounting units.

Built a cryptocurrency trade engine that is currently processing trades.

Used Linear Programming to minimize order to delivery times for a factory.

Used AWS S3 and SES to enable a client to create their own automated email campaigns.

And more...

This was fun. The hardest part was getting the CSS perfect, but I consider it to be a true work of art. Responsive SVG... oh yeah!
