CrisisCleanup v3

https://crisiscleanup.org
Crisis Cleanup is a collaborative disaster work order management platform that improves coordination, reduces duplication of efforts, increases efficiency, and improves volunteers' experience.

I was a lead developer and technical architect of the CrisisCleanup Version 3 product. I architected and developed all aspects of the application from the back end (Django), front end (Vue.js), and DevOps (Kubernetes on AWS Cloud).

I also developed the public API that is currently being integrated by the American Red Cross. I have solved many challenges that arise from dealing with a map-based application that has to display information for potentially tens of thousands of cases.
