We're making a maths quiz app that asks the optimal questions for testing & maintaining skills.

I was hired to help convert a set of assessments from Flash to HTML5 in time for the Flash deadline. Activities: - Designing and implementing an efficient workflow for automatically unit-testing and porting legacy code from AS3, ASUnit & XML to TypeScript, Jasmine & JSON. - Working directly on a large data- and event-driven system for delivering interactive assessments with sound & animations (CreateJS). - Maintaining i18n translations in a Flask app with Jinja2 templates - Provisioning VMs with SaltStack. - Setting up a Smoothwall firewall machine to simulate a school network. - Using tcpdump to debug proxy issues. - Setting up a Squid proxy to test sites from behind the Chinese firewall. - Writing a Node script to stress-test a logging service and using it to experiment with sysctl variables. Comprehensive documentation of findings & suggestions. - Managing staging and production machines and services.

I was hired to develop the DropPoint.org site with the founders, iterating through several prototypes up to the final version based on requirements and mockups from a UX designer. The site is a Node/Express/Ractive/MySQL app with Google Maps, delivery providers and Stripe integrations. Activities: - All aspects of development, deployment and documentation. - Mentored a junior dev (Maths+CompSci degree and Python background).
