I've created code to fetch and organize data from multiple sports leagues using HTTParty and mysportsfeeds.com as an API provider. I've used Mechanize and Nokogiri to create a web scraper to fetch links to use with an open source security scanner. I've taught, coached and guided students learning Ruby while a mentor at Thinkful.com

I've helped run an open source project based upon Ruby on Rails for eight years at https://github.com/EBWiki/EBWiki. In addition, I built an agent to fetch data from mysportsfeeds.com to power flumly.io, a site dedicated to alumni sports fans. This included feeding the site itself as well as feeding data to prompts into both SportsBERT and ChatGPT to evaluate LLM generated sports content.

Mark is an excellent tutor with deep knowledge of Ruby on Rails. In addition to teaching me about specific ways to address individual coding challenges as they have arisen, throughout multiple sessions, Mark has shown me more importantly, a lot about coding the right way to produce work that is tested, and robust enough enable easy collaboration. For anyone looking to up their understanding of programming concepts, project management and code organization, I would highly recommend seeking Mark out.

This is a volunteer project I work on in my spare time.

I have set standards for development projects within the QueerGlobal organization, adding CI/CD and ESLint for automated testing to the frontend repository, written in React. I've also added automated tests to the frontend repository, improving test coverage by 50% so far.

I have planned & outlined deployment strategies for static sites as well as the infrastructure for the next generation of the site, which will be using Microservices written in Go

I conduct code reviews, mentor developers on best practices, onboard developers through meetings and onboarding materials that I developed
