Employment
Experience
- T1D Exposed
A charity organization raising money for Type 1 Diabetes care and research, T1D Exposed had little means to reach an wide audience. Their project has received attention from an international donor base. I am the sole developer assigned to their immensely important internet presence.
- Birch Communications
I worked as a Full-stack Web Developer for Birch Communications (formerly Cbeyond) for five years. During my time there, I helped rewrite their customer facing portal to be over ten times more efficient, created a unit test suite for the same front-end application, maintained a developer best practice guide, managed other developers' sprint tasks, and made regular status reports for business executives.
