I presented on building serverless applications using ClojureScript with the example project being a game.

Presented on distributed teams.

I was the first technologist at Lumanu while it was still incubating as part of Outpace. As Lumanu grew and eventually became its own company, I took on the role of CTO. I set architecture direction, made technology choices, set business direction, talked to potential investors, dealt with third-party vendors, helped with recruiting, and provided guidance across the data science and software engineering teams. Because of the small size of the Lumanu team, I was able to still be very hands on and wrote much of the production code the powered our web crawling, extraction, search, and UI code.While I was there Lumanu surfaced relevant articles to its users for topics they cared about. Lumanu connected its customers with article writers in a particular topic so those customers could form relationships with those content creators for marketing purposes.Technology wise, Lumanu ran on AWS infrastructure and was powered by Clojure, ClojureScript, PostgreSQL and Elasticsearch with some machine learning done in both Clojure and Python.

I had a range of roles at Outpace and had an opportunity to work in a few domains. Primary focus was developing software solutions to better target client's customers with tailored promotional material. I also worked in supply chain management.I led multiple teams at Outpace, with the largest team being responsible for delivering a simpler, faster, and more reliable version of our primary product, our targeting engine. I made sure impediments were removed, coordinated with other teams, and made sure team members were setup for success and learning. I helped ensure the architecture of the project was sane and a joy to work in.I mentored others in many topics including Clojure, clean code, and test-driven development.

I presented on machine learning techniques.

Worked as a software developer for the technical research group. Wrote software for use in full size vehicles.
