"Shibber" is a microservice designed to handle the Shibboleth authentication handshake on behalf of an application deployed in a microservice architecture. The service is a stateless, cloud-native alternative workflow to something like the "shibd" Service Provider. Instead of running a full Apache Web Server with shibd installed, Shibber is a lightweight, Dockerized static binary that handles a stateless authentication workflow without external dependencies.

I was solely responsible for the development and implementation of this microservice. Successful reviews were conducted by security and compliance and by identity and web services to ensure quality.

SRS is a command line tool that simplifies bulk interactions with StarRez (a student housing software system) using the StarRez REST APIs. The vendor-provided web application for managing the system does not include all necessary functionality to perform some common tasks, so SRS extends those capabilities. Notably, SRS allows a user to serialize a set of records (including nested/related records) into CSV format (in addition to JSON) for easy manipulation in a spreadsheet program.

I was fully responsible for the development of this application and built a corresponding CI/CD pipeline to compile binaries for multiple target platforms using GitHub Actions.

The "NACURH ART Database" is a mobile-first web application that allows users to track their completion of the advisor resource training (ART) program within the National Association of College and University Residence Halls (NACURH).

Built using Angular for the front end and Google Firebase (Firestore, authentication, hosting) on the back end.

A near real-time available housing directory for colleges/universities managing student housing. The React-based front end communicates with the NestJS back end using GraphQL and keeps information up to date without the end-user needing to refresh the page.

I built this application for a client to meet their needs, with incremental improvements over time to allow for more control of the system and output.
