For Mountain Mafia's International monster truck race event "Mountain Havoc", I was the director in charge of 11 camera operators and the drone team including 4 pilots. I've filmed Havoc as a drone operator between 2018 and 2021, and was the main video coordinator for all media for them in 2022 and 2023.* In 2023, I published videos that accumulated 15 million views across Facebook, YouTube, and Instagram over 8 months. This included their first videos with 1 million+ views and was the result of creating a media schedule and overall media strategy with them.* Monetized their YouTube channel within 4 months by editing and posting a daily highlight reel (approx 120 videos) and organically gaining 20,000 subscribers.

Learned about all phases of construction: foundations, framing, siding, drywall, roofing, windows, trim, cabinetry. New constructions and remodels.Accumulated enough tools and knowledge to build a house from the ground up.

* A very unique opportunity for someone with my set of skills, I was highly desired to be in the editing room of this company. Beyond the standard definition of computer savvy (having worked in data science and very advanced technologies), I was able to do many things the Executive Producer and Associate Producer did not know were possible* For graphics and motion graphics, within a day I was able to figure out Adobe AfterEffects Expressions which is essentially Javascript - in order to generate an entire set of graphics needed for their productions, motion graphics, and dynamic graphics which changed with time.* This company has produced the TV Show "Formula Drift" which airs 20 episodes per year on CBS Sports since 2011. They also started a new client during my time with them, with Mountain Mafia Entertainment LLC, and produced 6 episodes for "Mountain Mafia Mount Havoc" on Velocity channel. * Because of the new client they had no graphics from the years prior. Using Photoshop, AfterEffects, Premeire Pro and Final Cut I was able to create them brand new graphics for use in the show.* With organizing footage and clearing space on hard drives, my command lines skills made quick work of certain tasks.* For the Formula Drift episodes, I was responsible for the Editors cut of the Top 16 and Great 8 episodes. From there the associate producer would create the producers cut, and then the executive producer would finalize with the directors cut, and then we would deliver the final product. My work affected everything down the line.* My main role was as a video editor and assistant. During the weekend that we shot footage of the Mountain Mafia event, I was present on site and designated to be the leader of the GoPro team. We mounted GoPros to the monster trucks and around the course and it was my job to train the GoPro helpers and make sure we got good footage and returned with all our equipment.* Completed paperwork for the international broadcasts of the episodes

Team Guide* After graduating the Frontend Web Developer Nanodegree at Udacity, they hired me to lead teams of 12 students and guide weekly study sessions* Assisted with technical problems as needed.* Taught students tips and tricks for developing, debugging, and googling* Experienced a team leadership position in which I learned inspiring/motivating people is much more effective than solving for them whatever current issue they have. Project Reviewer (Senior Front-End Web Developer Nanodegree)* Graded student projects* Udacity rolled out its new Senior Front-End Web Developer nanodegree, and asked alumni to attempt the first project in the program. I was the first person to met this request and completed the project to their specifications start-to-finish within 24 hours, and with a passing submission. Here is that project: http://juliusakula.github.io/sr-front-end/* After being the first to complete that project, they hired me to grade other submissions as the nanodegree came online. As this was the first project to do in the program, I was the gatekeeper to the rest of the program making sure students had a good foundation before moving on to the rest of the Senior Front-End Developer program.* After giving feedback on student projects, I only ever received five star ratings for the input I gave them. 100+ reviews given and 20+ five star feedback for my reviews.* Direct contact with udacity students - ensured their project matched the specifications given.* Ensured students had adequate getting started instructions for build tools such as grunt, gulp, webpack; as well as pointing them in the right direction for documentation of frontend frameworks like AngularJS, Knockout, Backbone, Ember, React/Redux. Rather than giving them the answers, I showed them where and how to find the answers.* Encouraged students with positive feedback as much as 'this needs attention' notes. Kept a kind tone in my communication with students

* Remotely mentored student CS majors in javascript, git, html, php, mysql and other web technologies and development strategies* developed open source projects collaboratively through Github* acquired clients for web development consulting, hiring out my "programming apprentices" as subcontractors

* Designed and maintain internal services for monitoring customer data, and billing. * Set up scheduled tasks to retrieve data and store it in a datawarehouse, or send an email report with that information. * Wrote billing scripts for new products released by Lyris and rewrote old billing scripts to be more secure - by removing sensitive information from the file and putting it in a configuration.* Specialized in javascript framework AngularJS, but also worked with jQuery, knockout, backbone and ember.* Also created a Javascript frontend to perform CRUD operations on databases, to increase the efficiency of the Support and Deliverability Teams.* Worked closely with data analytics team to provide internal tools so that they can efficiently monitor customer data* Worked initially on-site with top Silicon Valley minds who taught me much about corporate workflow and teamwork* Worked in many departments - QA, Engineering, Professional Services and worked with different technologies in each department* Polyglot programming skills put the to test programming in Java first, then HTML/CSS, then PHP & MySQL, then Javascript and specializing in AngularJS, then Ruby, then MongoDB & Node, and finally a large project with python.* Was a strong advocate in implementing version control systems and successfully convinced my team to use Git as part of our development and deployment flow* Problem solving skills were greatly developed being exposed to new problems every day for 2+ years* Built a robust and well documented API from scratch including a grunt scaffold process that generates new API endpoints in seconds* With the new and improved back end service I created, I then created a slick AngularJS front end against it that displayed the data much better and in new ways, which reduced the effort to create reports and ultimately made better reports.Lyris was acquired by Aurea and I was one of 10 essential people to remain post-acquisition, out of 140 people.
