HomeSafe is an app I built to demo the library of tools that I use to build client projects. I'm always forgetting to text my mom when I get home from driving long distance, so I decided to make a simple app to make both our lives easier. The app allows you to set up a location you're heading to and a list of contacts to text when you arrive safely. It tracks your location in the background and then uses Twilio to send a message when you get close to the location.

I worked as a freelance developer to migrate a Flash app to React.js, using a Python backend. The project took about 4 months with two other developers, and was delivered on time with all features implemented to spec. The part I'm most proud of was performantly rendering and updating tens of thousands of paths onto a Leaflet map to show traffic bottlenecks and incidents across multiple states.

I was the first engineering hire. In the first 3 months, I helped migrate our backend to Mongo and NodeJS from Parse & a hosted HIPAA DB. I led the team to build a community feature in our app for supporting your peers, rewrote our iOS and Android apps in React Native to increase iteration speed, and adding interest-based groups to our community. During a hackweek, I built a display that shows random patients' reasons for getting sober to remind our team why we do what we do. Our stack consisted of React.js, React Native, NodeJS, iOS & Swift, Android & Java, Mongo, Ansible & AWS.

I helped launch and build the second version of Rackspace OnMetal, a bare metal cloud product using OpenStack Ironic. I contributed heavily to OpenStack Ironic and other OpenStack projects. I was a Core Reviewer on the Ironic Python Agent, a deployment agent for servers, and a top reviewer for the Ironic project. I gave two talks at OpenStack summits about our project.

I helped build the first version of Swoop Srch, an apartment search application that let you rank which features in an apartment were most important (price, bedrooms, etc) and showed the most relevant. I developed the frontend, backend, and a crawler to make the most complete apartment database at the time.
