Design Developer in Denver, CO, United States

I engineered an event-driven, stateless microservice platform powered by AWS lambda that can build and deploy third-party plugins. Additionally, I created a developer CLI, a Node.js SDK, and a microservice chassis and event driver for plugins. Each plugin is driven by a manifest file that subscribes it to events and bootstraps the relevant configuration UI for setting up the plugin.

I built Passwords.fyi as a simple password management and sharing service over a few weekends. The idea was to have a secure alternative to sharing client passwords via email and SMS that did not involve an intense on-ramping process. The app gives you a secure short link for each list of passwords which you can share confidently via email or chat. I got to explore E2E encryption in the cloud, securing data using Amazon KMS and building a two-factor approval system that didn't make the user experience more difficult.

Although this was a weekend project, I went ahead and launched it as a SaaS app, complete with billing, multiple account levels, and logging as a demonstration of a simple, but fully functional MVP of a SaaS application.

I created a library for tracking model state across multiple external sources (API, LocalStorage, WebSocket), transforming data into a single-source-of-truth format, determining any data changes after normalization, and generating conflict resolution events if relevant.

As a user experience designer, I created the administrative interface as well as crafted a student experience mobile app for Handshake. Handshake is the application of choice for university career centers, connecting students with jobs from over 90% of fortune 500 companies. Working on this project included hours of on-site research at Stanford, while collaborating with some of the most brilliant minds in the recruitment and career services industry.

I designed and developed an all-in-one non-profit management application—deployed as a SAAS solution—complete with a CRM for donor management, a CMS for website management, a crowdfunding application, an event ticketing system, and detailed accounting tools. In addition, these solutions included a multi-channel messaging system, automating messages over email, SMS, and direct mail, as well as allowing for two-way-messaging via SMS and Email.

Technologies: Angular, PHP, MySQL, Postgres, Node.js

I built the user experience for a McDonald's campaign allowing customers to ask any questions and receive an answer. This campaign went on to win Gold in the prestigious Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity. The initial campaign was so successful, it was deployed in five more countries, strengthening my experience with developing internationalized interfaces. This project heavily used AngularJS.

I built a complex, internal CRM for tracking BBVA Compass accounts, leads, and lead pipelines. This application tracked thousands of data points across 7+ million accounts in order to suggest the best time to approach each customer about the right products. This application was deployed to production in 2009 and still drives the day-to-day operations of BBVA Compass.

This was an exercise in developing a cloud application for a high-security, enterprise environment while working with multiple teams, training systems, and delivering on time for business critical deadlines.

I built the user interface and helped develop the API for this time tracking platform which incorporates data from dozens of external services to allow you to retroactively aggregate your activity and track your time. This involved integrations with Google Calendar, Moves, Gmail, RescueTime, WakaTime, Trello, and more.
