Building an Elixir/Phoenix/LiveView application in the education space.

Leading a team building the backend in Elixir, hosted onGoogle Cloud using Kubernetes, for a mobile AI shopping application. The backend also includes an admin interface built with Phoenix LiveView.

I was on the team that was responsible for registering new service providers (known as 'pals'). This involved such things as performing background checks and periodically pulling data from the Office of Inspector General to compare users against a government blacklist of healthcare service providers.

I was on the GitHub Codespaces team. I worked across many parts of the product: Visual Studio Code extension (built with Typescript), APIs in different parts of the system that were written in either Ruby or C#, an internal service written in C#, infrastructure definitions in Kubernetes/Helm, and environment setup scripts using shell scripts such as bash.

I was on the Visual Studio for Mac team, where I worked on a number of different aspects of the IDE. I was the team member primarily responsible for maintaining our UI toolkits, parts of the Android tooling integration, and the authentication with Microsoft's identity provider. I also worked on accessibility support, international keyboard support, and Azure integration. I also made improvements to the Mono runtime, our open source C#/.NET platform.

I worked on a Ruby on Rails application that is used by hundreds of schools and universities to manage organizations used by millions of users.

I worked on a reporting backend built in Ruby and C++ for an online advertising system.

I worked on Key Ring, a mobile (iOS/Android/Windows Phone) app. I worked on the backend Ruby on Rails application, where I built a number of critical components such as the billing system that integrated with Braintree. I also built the Windows Phone version of the mobile app.

I worked on the Desktop Experience team for Ubuntu Linux. I worked on the multitouch gesture implementation and a number of new user interface features, improvements to the GTK user interface toolkit, and maintained related Debian packages.

I worked on a suite of medical software products that were built in C# and designed to run natively on Linux and Windows. They used the GTK user interface toolkit to provide cross-platform UI. In addition to working on the company's products directly, I also was responsible for doing significant work on the upstream open source GTK library to improve it in ways that benefited our products, in particular on the Win32 backend where it had a lot of deficiencies. My open source work on GTK had significant impact on our company's products.

Product development, documentation, demo/testing development for the GPU-accelerated user interface software that was used in Civilization IV for PC and other video games. Product was written in C++ using Direct3D for accelerated rendering.
