Guiding and building the infrastructure and architecture of the ecosystem of platforms that provide highly available, secure and easy to use access to the information customers need.Training new talent and building a development team that is self-sustaining.

While working with TechForge I helped our clients take their ideas on how to improve their business and created software to facilitate that.I developed across the entire stack and to many server configurations from AWS, to bare Ubuntu VPS, and Heroku.I contracted developers to increase output demands and created strike teams to handle specific reusable components for the team and clients.

Working with 360Ed to transition their software architecture to handle scaling and ease future development.
