The most amazing...
...project that I've created was a mock fax server built from Linux, Asterisk, Hylafax, IAXmodem, and NodeJS. This imitated a real fax server for testing purposes.
Employment
Experience
- NodeJS Fax Server (Development)
Mock fax server that uses Linux, Hylafax, Asterisk, IAXModem, and NodeJS to send and receive faxes within a network.
- Elixir Angular 2 Medical Application (Development)
An Angular 2 application built to calculate observed vs expected stay ratios. This was built with Angular 2 and Elixir with the Phoenix Framework. The most difficult challenge with this project was the lack of knowledge of Elixir before working through the tasks.
- Travel Application (Development)
An application that organizes travel plans into a React user interface. The back end was written in NodeJS with Babel. Docker was used to isolate the development environment. Unit tests were written for frontend components and backend functionality.
- Energy Front-end (Development)
A dashboard built in Angular 2 to show energy consumption data from users with services with energy providers. The Angular 2 front-end used observables to fetch data from an API.
