Full-stack Developer in Edmonton, AB, Canada

Full-stack developer as part of a small team building and maintaining a new decentralized cryptocurrency exchange (palmswap.org).

Our team built a fully-featured trading platform interface, complete with market, limit, and take profit / stop loss orders, real-time market and trading data and charts, as well as several user dashboard pages showing detailed order and trade history, profit and loss history, etc. We ran trading competitions and built detailed leaderboards tracking competitors' performances and rewards. We built crypto token farming and staking features, as well as referral program infrastructure, along with features to track and claim referral earnings and discounts. We also built a detailed administrative dashboard to track business and infrastructure data and metrics.

We used a Vue3.js frontend, interfacing with smart contracts deployed on Binance Smart Chain using Ethers.js, and used a GraphQL subgraph deployed on The Graph. We also used several AWS services including S3, EC2, Lambda, DynamoDB, API Gateway, and Route 53, managed via a combination of AWS console, AWS SDK, Serverless Framework, and Pulumi. We created a custom Vue3 component library using TailwindCSS and TailwindUI.

Built a full web application platform for an insurance brokerage startup from scratch. The web app included a user dashboard with the ability to buy and manage financial products, manage ongoing financial claims, manage accounts, and contact the support team.

The web app was built using Next.js (React framework) with a back-end API and a full-featured front-end, including several React-based UI components using TailwindCSS and HeadlessUI. Used a PostgreSQL database with Prisma for object-relational mapping. Used Auth0 for authentication and authorization (with custom Auth0 actions for customized signup process).

The system also included a complex component package built with React and deployed to npm, allowing partners to integrate the product into their own platforms. The package included Google Maps APIs to autocomplete an address form field and display the selected address in an embedded, dynamic Google Map.

Built a complete task management and productivity web application. The app allows productivity-minded users to build a weekly routine in an interactive calendar, create and manage tasks within clear time-blocks, and more. The app helps users stay on task by clearly communicating their current top priority.

Meal Hippo is an application that provides meals from local caterers to replace home cooking. I started Meal Hippo in Spring 2020 and ran it for approximately one year as a tech startup.

I programmed and designed Meal Hippo with the Django web framework and a Bootstrap responsive layout and UI CSS framework, with asynchronous email using Celery and Stripe for payments.

Spannel is a delivery REST API. Developers can use the Spannel API to enable vendors to offer delivery for their online sales orders. Developers can also use the Spannel API to allow couriers to receive these delivery orders and fulfill them for vendors.

I conceived of Spannel and designed and built the API using Django REST framework.

Borealhead is a daily personal journal web application.

I built Borealhead from start to finish, using React (JavaScript user interface library), interacting with a custom REST API within the Next.js framework. I used a PostgreSQL database, Prisma for object-relational mapping (ORM), Next-Auth for authentication/authorization, bcrypt for password hashing, CryptoJS for user content encryption, and the Tailwind CSS framework.
