Passed Certified Scrum Master Training.Led my scrum team to meeting their sprint commitments within three weeks of taking over the team.Introduced Behat for functional UI testing.

I built a content management platform for maintaining bill analysis data, and created a system to generate beautiful, intuitive reports based upon this data.I built the platform for executing the MI2020 educational grant competition, including accepting votes via the web, phone, and SMS. I also handled fraud detection within the voting system.I built, implemented, and maintained the Senate Democratic Caucus website and E-newsletter communication systems. I provided them with a multi-tennant CMS to manage each senator's content, and then made the entire adapt to various devices using the techniques taught within the responsive design discipline.I built several micro-sites used to gather petition data.

Managing many shared, reseller, and dedicated server clients, I ensured WebOnce Technologies lived up to the quality I desired from my own hosting experiences.I had developed many things for WebOnce through the course of its life, ranging from simple integration tasks to building full CMS oriented sites for clients who wish to be able to easily update their websites' content.

There's simply not enough room to allow for me to describe all I have done.Notable examples include a Java based multi-threaded "black box" for an SMS service provider, several jQuery (released) and Symfony (proprietary) plugins, and a debugger tool (AJAXLogger) to ease development of JavaScript based applications.

I developed and maintained the Democratic Caucus and Democratic Representatives websites (as well as other initiatives), built an iPhone, Android, and BlackBerry application, and built an enewsletter system.

I helped ensure AxisHost's servers stayed up and running smoothly, and resolved issues clients faced with using their services.I also managed almost all customer side business operations on a few occasions lasting several weeks.My time with AxisHost was really too short. Tina and Rocky were both wonderful people to work with.While there, I also built a distributed DNS management system, which picked up and parsed BIND records from each hosting server, storing them back in a central database, which could then control which domain was attached to which server, enabling us to easily manage server transitions for our clients.

Management of all computer (and really, plugable) devices in both the Lansing and Detroit offices, as well as the systems in the homes of the employees.
