Employment
Experience
- Yodata
A platform to allow developers to share and collaborate on open-source schemas, including a back end as a service (BaaS) to store data using those schemas. Data owners can provide access to applications using OAuth or manual provisioning.
I was the author of the entire back-end platform—using Node.js and Mongoose—to dynamically generate APIs and allow developers to access/store user data within their applications.
I was also a major contributor to the developer portal written in Meteor and Node.js. The portal provides a way for developers to create and manage organizations, applications, models, and data maps and collaborate with other developers. - Meteor-JSON-Simple-Schemahttps://github.com/bshamblen/meteor-json-simple-schema/
A Meteor package designed to convert a JSON schema to Simple Schema (the primary schema package for Meteor). This project was created to allow us to convert database-generated schemas into code on the fly so that we could use generated forms dynamically.
- Racing Elements
I was responsible for developing both the iOS and Android versions of this application. I also managed the AWS hosting environment. Racing Elements was an immersive weather app highlighting professional photographs of Formula 1 races, cars, and drivers. We partnered with Paul Henri Cahier to source the images and used a weather service API to provide hourly and daily forecasts and current weather data.
