Project - The project at Humu is a behavioral science backed nudge platform to make work better for everyone, everywhere. We have recently added features for users to have 1-on-1 agendas with their managers as well as a Work Style Quiz

Founder - Enterprise Eleven
Nov 2020 - present
Enterprise Eleven is a company I founded to do contract software work. As Enterprise Eleven, I continued to work on my PwC project until the end of May 2021. Also, from November of 2020 until the end of May 2021, I also worked on this project for Andrews McMeel Universal:
Project - The project I worked on was a rewrite of their puzzle site. When I left the project, it was slated to be deployed to production in October of 2021.
Team - Because of the pandemic, the team was entirely remote while I was there. I was one of 4 front end developers, along with a few back end developers, a couple designers, and a project manager.
Stack - This application uses React with NextJS. The application is hosted on Azure.
My Role - I spent a lot of my time working on reusable components for the site, as well as testing out how to implement some of our auxiliary services (Azure B2C, Strapi CMS).
Senior Full Stack Developer - PricewaterhouseCoopers
Mar 2019 - Nov 2020
Project - The project at PwC is a risk assessment application for banks and other financial institutions. It helps them configure questions about their risks and have their employees answer those questions on assessments to find where they are vulnerable to fraud, sanctions, and money laundering
Team - The team was entirely remote and made up of 13 developers from around the US. It skews towards more development experience, but we do have some early career devs doing great work.
Stack - This application uses Node, React, and ArangoDB. We are currently transitioning to TypeScript for both client and server. Our applications are in a Lerna monorepo and we use GitHub and Jenkins for source control and CI/CD. The application is hosted on AWS.
My Role - As I was one of the more senior developers on the team, my role was frequently help turn parts other developers create into a whole application. I spent significant time creating useful abstractions to make everyone else's development speedier. I helped create many of the components in our shared component library, and I also spent my time working through some of the harder issues in the application (especially the client-side).
Team Lead / Senior Full Stack Developer - SelectQuote
Sep 2017 - Feb 2019
Project - The project at SelectQuote was an internal tool for the sales team to track the status of leads. It required hooking up to many third party APIs and need to present the user with a lot of useful information at the right times.
Team - The team was mostly senior developers with a few juniors sprinkled in when some of the seniors got poached. While I was there, we had between 10-15 developers at any time. We worked 3 days a week in the office and 2 at home.
Stack - This application was written in Node and React. We were replacing a on-site version and moved ours out to AWS. We used a hosted mariaDB on AWS for our database. Bitbucket with bitbucket pipelines was our source control and CI/CD.
My Role - When I started, my role was mainly to build out the application. As our team grew, my role turn into more abstraction creating and tech debt paying down. Eventually I was named to lead the team and be the primary interface between other departments and development. I was also part of our interview team to bring on new developers.
Senior Developer - RFP365
Oct 2016 - Aug 2017
Project - At RFP365 I worked on an RFP tracking application. It allowed users to write answers to questions, track the status of the RFP, and reuse answers from previous RFPs. It was in use by many local governments.
Team - When I started, I was only the third developer (the others were an intern and the co-founder). I helped us bring on two more while I was there as well as mentor the intern into a junior developer position.
Stack - When I started, it was a Java and jQuery web application. I worked to transform the client side into React, which was mostly in place when I left. It was hosted on AWS with a mySQL database.
My Role - I was brought in specifically because of my experience with Java/React. The application was starting to show some cracks as a startup MVP, and the co-founder knew that some changes would be needed to scale this out.
