I took a proof of concept app through to production Using Vue Google Cloud, Firebase, and Replicate. We use a queue capable of processing an infinite number of stories at scale. We are hosting over fifty models on replicate. jobs are triggered and permsions state are synced with firebase functions.

The SEEQ app collects stories and uses machine learning for testing your hypotheses and validating assumptions. Without the right tools, that process can be time consuming, expensive, and frustrating -- leaving you with lots of information but little in the way of actionable insights. Without the right insights, how are you going to identify and address large unmet needs in order to drive new brands, products and business growth?

Realness is social media re-imagined as a tool rather than a popularity contest. Serverless and auditable, Realness embraces trust but verify. It's a single page app that runs from the web and homescreen as fast as native applications. Data is saved on the phone, storing on the server only what is essential for the service.

I designed and built my own NoSQL backend based on the microdata format. This has made supporting client first development natural and offered the choice to leave some data on device. Realness is future proof, responsive, progressive, fast with offline capabilities.

I designed my own UI framework and chose Vue as my primary development tool. I used Jest for Test Driven development and followed best practices throughout, I was able to switch between design, test, and build fluidly for an ideal development workflow.

I helped Happs.tv diagnose and fix performance problems. I helped an insurance broker negotiate their transition from vue 2 to 3 by focusing on developer adoption through code review. I worked with the VueSchool team to interview and recommend qualified candidates from all over the world for an NFT startup

I built the hiring app for VueSchool. We were able to execute from idea to release in less that two and a half months. helping VueSchool enter a new business vertical.

Savvy, a WebRTC based video streaming service that connects teachers and learners, received its first round of funding within two weeks of my start date. I spent my first three months architecting and building the minimum viable product. The next three months I hired the dev team and we built our beta release.

I designed and built out Savvy's double-sided marketplace using Stripe. I integrated Savvy's calendar features into Google Calendar. I built out a front end framework optimized for writing CSS and event-driven javascript.

Built the administrative console our partners used to access and configure how their embedded content is viewed. Worked on the Tout Javascript SDK and products used to embed Tout video players on partner websites. Analyzed and optimized client-side and server-side performance for a very high volume system.

I created Copper.is as a service that you used to tip the creators of the content you experienced online. I wrote extensions for Chrome, Firefox and Safari. You click a button on your browser and Copper would find the person you tipped sign them up and pay them for the content you enjoyed.

This double sided marketplace was built as a finite-state machine with Ruby on Rails sitting on top of Postgres and was hosted on Heroku. I used stripe as an escrow and payments endpoint.

How to automate finding, authorizing, and paying the creators was the tricky bit. We solved it by scraping the content people paid for social embeds (which were everywhere at the time) contacting the creators through those services and then providing oAuth authorizations that we would use as proof they created the content. We had an 80% hit rate.

I Founded, architected, and led the development team, similar to Patreon. Built the service from concept to fully functional product. I gathered developers, brought in legal, and investment resources and worked with the incubator Hattery Labs to develop the brand and product.

Took over an internal AdWords purchasing application built in Adobe Flex. Ported the code base to Rails and completed the project 9 months ahead of schedule.

Implemented new functionality for the homepage and the site’s most popular feature, “Never Ending Movie Quiz”. Optimized site for search engines. Evangelized and helped the adoption of more consistent javascript framework.

Architected and implemented a publishing rights application. Built a search service based on Lucent, which is able to query over 2 million tracks with result times consistently ten times faster than the existing search system. Created a continuous build system with the help of Maven and Continuum. Leveraged Prototype, Scriptaculous and some of my own event based insanity to focus the middle tier on marshaling data to the client.

Developed cross-browser backward and forward compatible User Agent framework based on Tapestry. Designed a client event model that supported multiple event bindings, dynamic component initialization based on custom HTML attributes. Created a development environment that abstracted developers from the specifics of how the user interface functioned.

Worked with offshore developers on best practices for struts, tiles, and general application development. Implemented a development build system that supports deployment to multiple applications servers and operating systems. The build was customizable at appropriate resolutions and ran 500% faster than the previous build system.

Spearheaded the refactor of the user interface to conform to web standards, decreasing page size sixty percent, while increasing cross-platform browser support, both forward and backward compatibility, application skinning, global print capabilities, as well as WAP and palm support. Implemented a templating mechanism to increase code reuse and simplified development workflow.

Managed a team of 5 developers from design through release. Architected and drove the implementation of the presentation layer for an enterprise application management portal. Evangelized, implemented, and maintained a modular approach for the user interface elements, which increased code reuse and reduced time to market

Facilitated the migration of a knowledge management portal application from ColdFusion to J2EE. Mentored 6 developers through this transition. Proposed the application architecture and development migration path from ColdFusion to java, which entailed porting an unwieldy, two-tiered web application, to a scalable, multi-tiered, fault-tolerant enterprise application. Designed a flexible, and scalable security system, which was applied at different levels of granularity throughout the application.

Provided technical support to client engineers, prospective customers, and business partners. Performed onsite installations and integration of application. Introduced departmental reorganizations, and development processes such as use cases, functional specification, design meetings, code reviews, that greatly increased application stability, and the capacity to quickly add features to the application.

Ported the beta of the product from a rigid, duplicative, asp.net application architecture to a multi-tiered, MVC based, Java application. Evaluated and implemented drivers for use with Microsoft’s SQL Server that resulted in a three fold increase in application scalability. Developed flexible personalization and robust security services which allowed other developers to focus on the specifics of application development.

Designed and implemented a personalization and security mechanism that created a secure, configurable environment for children to experience the Internet. Developed a lightweight application for rating and retrieving acceptable content for children. Built personalization features that allowed parents to determine the types of content delivered to their children.

Developed and maintained Visual Basic applications for the different departments within the firm. Designed and implemented an unattended Windows NT desktop installation which included the installation of 23 applications for 1400 users firm wide. Developed regression tests to ensure application stability. Organized the firm’s technical support efforts. These efforts noticeably decreased the turnaround time in addressing users support issues.
