Modernized outdated employee engagement platforms by extracting their data with JQuery and re-presenting the same data in a completely new UI built using Angular, HTML and SCSS. Actively sought out bugs and improvements, created my own tickets, and wrote efficient test-driven solutions."Griffin had an excellent term at InFlight. He made meaningful contributions to every project that he worked on. He has a great attitude and very easy to work with and collaborate with. He also shows an eagerness to engage in difficult problems. Griffin works very well independently and also knows when it is appropriate to reach out. His willingness to ask questions keeps him from straying too far from a final solution. It also keeps him in line with what is expected of his task which is not always explicit. This term had the added complication of having to spend a good portion of it working remotely. This was new for me as well as Griffin. Griffin showed great professionalism and was always available when expected and continued to deliver high quality code. Griffin is a very good developer and shows a real understanding of the core concepts."- Supervisor & Senior Software Developer @ Inflight

Introduced DevOps practices to repositories using Terraform for AWS, and Gitlab CI/CD, which reduced the stress of deployments for IT."Griffin was outstanding throughout his work term at XE. He was great team player along with able to work on his own if needed. His work is clean, easy to understand and very high quality. As a reviewer, I usually do not have any improvement comments on his merge requests.
