While at SmithRx I worked on a variety of projects the majority of which were focused on data pipelining:- Developed an interactive command line tool that enabled non-technical people to migrate client data based on information specific to each company.-Wrote unit and integration test for automated data uploading, we received a wide variety of file types when adding new clients, each file type had its own set of edge cases that needed to be thoroughly tested. Before leaving helped train a new hire for this same job.-Took part in planning and implementing the management of PII to achieve HIPAA compliance.-Worked on a Node.js backend using the Restify framework (a lightweight version of Express) modifying and implementing various endpoints.

Directly after graduating from Bradfield I temporarily worked on contract for Signal IO while looking for more permanent work. Signal's goal was to build collaborative coding tools that would enable teachers to get a better understanding of what topics their students were struggling with. As one of two engineers trying to build Signal IO's first product I was heavily involved in making decisions around what the product would look like as well as building full features from scratch. We were working with potential clients daily so I would often have to build out a feature demo on only a few hours notice. I primarily wrote JavaScript within the Electronjs framework to build plugins for the Atom code editor.

- Architected an internal service from scratch that enabled teams across the company to manage feature flags and A/B testing groups, giving services new insights into user conversion rates and the ability to change user-facing products quickly based on those insights.- Implemented RESTful API endpoints on a Hapi.js server and corresponding implementation on an AngularJS frontend speeding up the loan verification process which has a direct correlation to the company’s income.-Collaborated on building a ReactJS application that provided teams a clean interface for feature flag and group management a process that previously was done by editing JSON files and redeploying the service.- Set up Circle-CI continuous integration flows for two applications, included Dockerizing both services, coverage reporting with Jenkins, and writing Bash scripts to trigger integration checkpoints. Streamlining the production deploy process and taking the burden of deploying off the Infrastructure team.

Code to the Future is one of the nation's leaders in k-12 Computer Science education. They partner with schools and districts around the nation to provide after school and supplementary Computer Science courses. I acted as the lead teacher to multiple classes of 4th-8th grade students. As the lead teacher, I was responsible for:-Catering course material to match each classes individual needs-Presentation of course material-One on one tutoring of students during the class

Through Shultz Global Investments I was connected with a medium size micro-finance group operating out of Ulaanbaatar Mongolia. For three months a lived in Ulaanbaatar working for ABTS, primarily as loan reviewer, I also ended up teaching tri-weekly English classes for the ABTS staff. As a loan reviewer, my worker primarily consisted of visiting a business to verify the information they had provided to us and creating a loan summary to be reviewed by the board.While in Mongolia I also volunteered for a conservation group trying to find the Saker falcon reproductive rate in the area. The reproductive rate data was used to develop a sustainable rate of export for saker falcons from Mongolia. As a volunteer, I would visit Saker nests to tag newborn falcons and collect a DNA sample which allowed us to track the Saker population throughout multiple generations.

Worked as a technical intern for OneHope ministries in Lebanon and Turkey:In Lebanon, I worked with a OneHope partner called 'Just for Kids' that worked with schools and refugee camps to teach kids about hygiene and other basic life skills. We would also distribute the 'Book of Hope' which is a picture book that tries to convey the message of Christianity without words. Specifically, while there I built a website for kids to go to after attending our event, the website mainly consisted of games around the material we presented. I created all these games from scratch and came up with creative ways to relate the games to the material that was presented. When we would visit Syrian refugee camps I would help with setting up the event, capturing video and photos to be relayed to donors, and interacting with the kids.When I was in Lebanon they sent me to Turkey for a month to help another partner (Kucak) build a website. While in Turkey I lived with a family in Ankara and built Kucak a website that allowed them to post their books and lecture material online.
