Justin has added more than $100 million of value for his employer multiple times. He's worked on full-stack applications for the last several years and has helped found new engineering offices for his employer in Miami and New York City. Justin's preference right now is to focus on front-end JavaScript roles (especially React and Material Design, but also including Angular, Vue, and Ember) or full-stack (including Java and Ruby on Rails) roles.

Employment
Experience
- Capital One 360 | Main eBanking Website (Development)https://www.capitalone.com/bank/
If people couldn't log in to the core website used by millions of users, then it may have been my fault :) I implemented a variety of security stories and worked on integrations with 3rd party systems.
- 30-minute App (Development)http://justin-activities.herokuapp.com/
A quick example of a simple application that took me about 30 minutes to build and is deployed publicly on Heroku (compatible with mobile browsers as well). Essentially, it is a platform to remember activities that you've done and the date you've done them (similar to a to-do list). It includes the following features: search, authentication, and authorization. It was built using Ruby on Rails, PostgreSQL, and Bootstrap.
