To support Meta initiative of rolling out custom fiber optic networks across the world, the Network Infrastructure team, dubbed the "Backbone" team, began work on an interface for managing fiber inventory and planning rollouts. In 2022, a new project began to support this goal with a redesigned system for fiber optic management. I worked as a software engineer for the team, implementing full-stack features across Meta's technology stack.
Various state's Departments of Transportation rely heavily on their 511 systems - phone, web, and application software tied to the traffic infrastructure for each state and surrounding areas. The "OneWeb" project, and its successor project "511x", are the client facing public applications for real time traffic and events data. I was put in charge of architecting and leading a small team of 5 in both maintenance and green-field work for the projects.
With over 30 clinic location across the southern United States, Prime Occupation Medicine switched to an in-house development cycle for managing software related to clinic and patient management. Their primary software, termed "EME", is a suite of tools that allows for clinics to easy manage, record, and bill patients through clinic workflows. I supervised a team of 8 members in a green-field project to replace EME, while still maintaining and updating parts of the application.
RedHat.com is the marketing branch website for Red Hat, a multinational software company that provides open source software products to the enterprise community. Built on top of Drupal 8, RedHat.com utilizes a variety of leading edge front-end technologies, with a heavy focus on a universal design system for all of Red Hat's domains. I ran a small team dedicated to component design and site implementation for RedHat.com.
Vail Resorts 11 resort sites, termed "Freeride", is the core of Vail Resorts online marketing and ticketing. In 2016, Vail began a full redesign of all 11 sites, moving to a responsive site to capture mobile audiences. Built on top of .NET MVC with a Sitecore driven CMS, the site allows for marketing-driven content creation while maintaining style guidelines. As the lead Front End developer, I supervised a team of contractors through the new implementation.
In 2012, Vail focused on releasing an app for on-mountain tracking and activities. Various features have been added to the app over the last few years, and in 2016 my team was tasked with adding EpicMix Time, a service that showed lift-line wait times and on-mountain GPS. Working in both native Android and iOS, the EpicMix team released for the 2015-2016 season. I contributed to the project, replacing both iOS and Android contractors to deliver the feature on time.
Postly is a social media and sharing application which was started in 2015. In 2016, I began contract work with Postly helping implement new features and resolve issues. During that time, I implemented several major features, including "Discovery", an interactive news addition to the app. Postly uses Cordova to work on both iOS and Android from a single code-base, a Backbone.js front-end with a RoR API. As the primary front-end developer, I implemented features for web, iOS, and Android.
AxS is a start-up application that consists of both a provider side, administrative management system and a client side mobile app aimed at providing doctors offices with patient and form management. Started in 2015, I helped implement new features both client side and admin side, working with a small remote team based throughout the nation.
Data Connect was a small company specializing in tradeshow marketing and registration. While working with Data Connect, I built a variety of sites for different clients, each customized to meet the needs of each client for their tradeshow. While there, I was also tasked with helping rebuilt Data Connects main website. The site is a custom template built in JSON-T to work with SquareSpace, so it could be maintained by the marketing department.
