Built two large Ruby on Rails applications, as well as a few smaller scale Wordpress websites. A crowd sourced event promotion cite for technology related events in Columbia, and the surrounding areas, and an application to replace the printed program for All Things Open 2013, an Open Source conference in Raleigh, NC. The application will host the schedule, speakers list, and sponsors information for the conference. I’ve learned how to communicate ideas for features or alternate ways of reaching goals, and how to build even more robust user experiences.

Developed Ruby on Rails applications, and Wordpress based websites for multiple clients. Learned how to be self motivated, manage my schedule to allow for work tasks, and communicate ideas and goals with clients.

Designed and completed a Ruby on Rails application for use within the company. Boosted efficiency through out the company by automating tedious tasks, and creating an easy to use, but feature rich portal between those who dealt with clients, and the development team. Learned to meet deadlines, accomplish tasks, and be part of a team, from 3000 miles away.
