ABOUT ME
Full Stack Javascript / Ruby Developer
Full Stack Javascript / Ruby Developer

I'm interested in delivering beautiful experiences. I don't believe this goal is limited to a specific part of the snack. I've tamed slow and difficult-to-maintain backends by profiling, analyzing query performance, and implementing appropriate caching. I've led the charge on implementing best-practices in JS architecture and page performance. I've worked closely with designers to go beyond mocks and build beautiful interactions and responsive layouts. Ultimately, I'm passionate about what users experience and am willing to work on any part of the stack to make that interaction beautiful.

I started with Rails in 2005. Since then, I've been mastering my craft. I've learned how to tame large and difficult-to-maintain projects. I've led the charge in adopting best-practices in back-end maintainability and performance. I'm particularly interested in caching architecture and DB optimization.

There is no question too complex for me to write a SQL statement to answer it. In my 15 years of working with SQL, I have experience with multiple database engines such as MySQL, Postgresql, Mongo and Redshift. I'm passionate about making insights held captive in data more accessible, and performant.

I'm passionate about delivering maintainable, scalable and beautiful experiences. I've charted the course for major architectural decisions around front-end practices at companies large and small. I introduced Angular to Rally.org to create an experience for millions of TV viewers to enter as contestants for the reality-tv show, "The Voice". I led the conversion of Puddle.com to 100% Ember and implemented industry-leading practices in CSS. I tackled page-speed at Indiegogo, and brought the average page-load time down over 50%. At Countable, I introduced Vue.js and React to enable our partners to see analytics for their advocacy campaigns. I also wrote the Countable android app using react-native and ember.

Really fast and really good. Didn't waste any time and provided me with a bunch of resources and some sample code for what I'm trying to achieve.

Created an analytics pipeline with Segment.io, Stitch, Redshift and Re:dash to help us understand how people engage with their lawmakers and interact with advocacy organizations. After we switched from Segment.io, I lead development on several new pipelines. Eventually, we took analytics in-house, and I wrote the pipeline to help us keep delivering insights to our partners. I also wrote new tools for advocacy and civic engagement with Vue.js, Redux and React-Native, in addition to maintaining and building new functionality onto our Ember.js codebase.
