As a former Etsy developer I join Erank to help with migration to Etsy's latest API as well as bring some new ideas and new technology to improve the Erank system overall. We are now building a new version of the application using Laravel 10 and Vue. This version is an API-first system.

Originally hired for the Integrations team as a parental backfill for a paternity leave employee, my primary role was to develop new endpoints for the Etsy OpenAPI V3 as well as maintain the existing endpoints in both OpenAPI V3 and V2. I also maintained the OpenAPI documentation, updating for new endpoints, changes to existing endpoints and typographic errors. I worked closely with numerous team members, pairing to both help and receive help with work underway. I also was in charge of interacting directly with our integration partners that were consuming the new API via GitHub and email.During my time, Etsy has extended my contract 3 times giving me 20 months of contract time with them.

When I came into GlobalcastMD, I joined in to help correct an ailing RoR website. I was able to patch and keep it going but very quickly the company decided to let me redo the entire system in PHP. Over approximately 2 months, I had transitioned their application to a PHP-based system, complete with event registration and payment capabilities.I have built a PWA that aggregates medical pediatric surgery knowledge from all over the internet into a single reference app that medical professionals can use on a daily basis. I later rebuilt it as a RESTful API for true mobile apps created to replace the POC PWA.I also rapidly created a virtual conference system in early 2020 to provide a place for medical organizations and associations to host the suddenly canceled in-person events due to the pandemic.

I was brought into CRG to maintain their existing Wordpress application and attempt to correct poor security issues allowing the site to get pharma-hacked many times. After correcting the problem, they decided it was time for a better system. I successfully transitioned their entire web presence to a Code Igniter based PHP system with full control panel to manage their content and 20+ sub-sites. Additionally, I migrated them to AWS server LAMP stack using EC2. During my time with them I also implemented and modified an open-source ticketing system to replace PurplePass and other tools they were spending money on. I also implemented a PHP-based their email marketing system replacing another aging service they were no longer happy with.

I joined the company replacing the very junior level Laravel developer that had a sudden conflict. I quickly refined the Laravel code and database to be more efficient running their proprietary job matching algorithm, taking the processing time of each job from 10+ minutes to less than 1 minute using async queued microservices. I also transitioned them from a non-cloud basic hosting environment into an AWS stack using EC2, RDS and several other services. During my time there I helped build a mobile friendly interface for the application, built a hiring process management tool for one of their major client corporations and implemented some micro services to convert the very synchronous process to fully async.

The main aspect of Emerging Designs is custom web application development. I have done many projects on contract basis for clients in the restaurant business, technology industry, media industry and more. These custom applications range from simple page layouts without interaction to more user interactive systems (such as social networking) to full eCommerce systems.By some clients I am known as a "fire fighter" due to my quick and effective response to urgent needs for development.

Symplur needed a replacement developer for their Laravel based application that ingested Twitter Firehose data for medical research. As the lead developer for nearly a year I worked with Laravel as well as a fairly heavy load of Javascript plugins such as Highcharts, Twitter Typeahead and various jQuery interface tools.Additionally, I was tasked with developing numerous custom web applications for small to large clients, including a reservation system, an inventory control/ordering system, and a PDF document generator. I also developed several in-house use applications, such as an estimate-to-invoice and payment system and a template wizard for the email marketing system.I served the company well and have been highly regarded by my peers.
