201 Created (www.201-created.com) is a small firm of JavaScript and Ember.js consultants. We write software that is maintainable, scalable and provides a great UX.Every client is a different engagement, but our values remain constant:• The web is a great platform for delivering modern applications• APIs should be consistent, scalable, and reliable• Solutions that are open are more stable than bespoke internal tools• Shipped code is tested code• Aggressively automate• Invest in peopleClients have included Microsoft, Google, Condé Nast, Movable Ink, Perch Interactive, WNYC, Hashrocket, Freshbooks, Zendesk, Aptible (YC S14) and about a dozen other companies.During my tenure at 201 Created my cofounder and I have sustainably grown the company, increasing the size of the team by 3-fold, exceeding $1MM in ARR, and increasing revenues for nearly every quarter of its existence. Along the way we've built a world-class team of Ember.js and JavaScript experts and remained committed to contributing to both open-source projects and the community.

I designed and taught the following classes: • Server-side Dynamic Web Development. (Taught 2x) A practical introduction to database-backed server-side web development with JavaScript. Tools taught: git, github, Node.js, mongodb, express. • Hacking the Browser. (Taught 4x times) In this class we push the limits of browser tech to subvert the usual browsing experience. We build bookmarklets and Chrome extensions. The course includes a whirlwind tour through front-end technologies (DOM API, JavaScript and CSS) and a deeper dive into extension APIs and other technologies to connect the browser with the world outside it. Syllabus at: hackingthebrowser.comMy courses have consistently received evaluations at or above the 95% level (3.8/4 or 4.75/5). Selected evaluation feedback: • "My favorite teacher ... He prefers to teach us how to do research and how to learn from others' works, instead of just teach us [to] write ... code." • "Favorite class this semester" • "[would] recommend this teacher to any student"

Created one of the first widespread for-fun VOIP projects. Appeared on NPR, BBC, Digg frontpage, BoingBoing, NYT, KROQ, made more than a quarter million calls before being shut down by the FCC.

Sole developer responsible entire HTTP stack for hundred-server deployments, from server architecture to high availability to database administration to code writing/testing and deployment. Used Ruby, Node, Rails, Sinatra, Mongo, Redis, MySQL, ec2.

Designed and implemented general system/application architecture, lead and mentored the rest of the dev team. Used Flask (python) on the back-end and Backbone.js on the front-end.

Wrote prototype and first and second from-scratch rewrites of the app. Grew a tech team from 1 (me) to 8 in a year and a half, and pageviews from none to 10s of millions. PHP, Ruby, Rails, javascript, server administration, db administration.Outside.in was acquired by AOL in 2011 and its technology stack was used to power parts of Patch.com back-end infrastructure.

Coded nonstop. Built a highly scalable VOIP architecture. Designed a user interface and VOIP call scheduler/multiplexer api.

Quasi-internal strategy consulting. Forecasted sales trends and did special projects to investigate potential changes to company website.I worked in the Order Operations department which is essentially the last resort for customers whose orders have encountered trouble (e.g. order-of-magnitude-greater-than-expected delivery delays). After they escalated past frontline customer support I'd work with them to get their orders back on track. I learned a lot of lessons about how to compassionately and patiently communicate with highly agitated customers.

Hacked together technological solutions to unusual workflow management problems.

Helped set up new computers. Miscellaneous tech support.
