Collaborated with customer management, QA, and design teams to build upon the product for our range of users.
When I started, it was a small development team of 5 people working on a product for use within the company. Since then, it has grown to a 50 person software team working on a variety of internal and external products. Growing alongside the company has allowed me to learn a variety if technical skills and development procedures.
Worked with different groups (design, QA, product) to develop a marketable product.
Transitioned with the company from creating software for our sales team, to creating software for external customers.
Right out of college, I leaned a lot about software development and how to work on a small team to develop software that was critical for the company to be able to grow.
Maintained and development new features for voter management software.
Worked with print design team to develop website from PDF designs.
My passion for web-development has spilled-over into my personal interests as well. Oftentimes, if I have an idea, I see if it works by trying it out in a personal project.
This is a zero-sum budget program I developed to get my wife and I out of rigid and fragile spreadsheets. I've used this project to evaluate different front-end frameworks. Out of this, in 2013, I spearheaded Centro's move to Angular. Currently, I'm evaluating the redux store within react.
This project was used primarily to learn the gulp front-end build systems and node.js development.
Git Backup/Restore is a utility that arose out of me wanting to backup local changes to git projects without publishing them and without duplicating information already on a remote server. Building this was mostly about learning more about git and linux scripting.
This is a JS testing framework I wrote because, at the time, most JS testing frameworks required a lot of setup before you could start testing. Because of it's simplicity and versatility, it was used for JS testing at Centro.
