ABOUT ME
I work on big projects
I work on big projects

I have worked on some pretty large scale systems including:

  • Chrome Devtools/Inspector while working at Google
  • Robotics at GoogleX (Google's R&D company)
  • Self driving at Toyota Research Institute
    At Toyota Research, I ran a team of ~15 engineers and researchers for ~4 years.

I do mentoring mostly for fun, most of my time now is spent on running cryptocurrency autonomous funds.

RUST is now up there as my "favorite language". I started working with it in 2019 just to learn it, but as I got deeper and deeper I enjoyed it more and more. I have written an open-source remote execution/cache system for build systems in RUST: https://github.com/allada/turbo-cache

I ran Toyota Research Institute's "Platform Review" team. This team was a subset of about 25-30 of the most senior engineers that would make the standards, guidelines and ultimately every pull request had to be approved by someone on this team for the code to make it into development. I also wrote: * 2 Camera drivers (used in Toyota vehicles on public road) * a lidar driver (used in Toyota vehicles on public road) * in-house JPEG gpu-based compressor/decompressor (in cuda)

I wrote a private framework in node which helps with MVC structure and routes the data to the proper files. It was developed to be highly scalable and pushed Node to the limit of it's abilities. The framework was used for some management software (was a contract job).

[I don't work in PHP any more] I have worked in PHP for many years. I have written a full sales system for a company which manages: Invoicing, Inventory, Orders, Sales, Customers, Payments, Bills, Returns, Quotes, Auto-Credit Card processing, and much more. This software turned the company paperless and handles apx $500,000USD in sales per day. I have also written an enterprise level shopping cart and a separate Joomla! plugin shopping cart. I even went as far as making extensions to PHP to handle some processes faster.

Nathan helped me clean up some old code and rebuild a more efficient system and overcame a bunch of smaller issues I had with the code. Thanks, I'll reach out again when I hit another snag.

This was, by far, one of the best experiences I've ever had. Not only was Nathan super knowledgeable, he was incredibly approachable and made the whole process easy & enjoyable. Codementor is my new god. (Nathan, too!)

Worked through the issue with me and came up with a solid solution. Also went beyond the initial requirements to point out issues I'll run into at a later point, and provided a fix for them as well. A+
