Handshake
The Problem
An innovative company working to help college students by democratizing access to job opportunities (and
swiftly becoming the go-to resource for
job-seeking students) needed help with a game-changing front end redesign.
The Solution
In this highly collaborative effort, I worked closely with other engineers and designers to create a sleek
and intuitive experience for users.
I took an active role in our team's Agile process and culture by leading scrum meetings and retros, and
hosting a skribbl.io team game.
Technologies Used

Scientific
The Problem
A top laboratory equipment manufacturer needed help iterating and improving a successful internal sales
tool.
The Solution
Here's something you don't see every day: a Ruby on Rails app with a MongoDB database. As a solo developer
on this
fascinating project, I integrated an existing serial number lookup tool into their app, delivered initial
stages of
a custom CMS, including full-stack development of an admin screen feature, and a customizable alert bar.
Having gained
a thorough understanding of their data model, I also helped consult on a migration of their database from
MongoDB to
PostgreSQL.
Technologies Used
JavaScript, Ruby on Rails, MongoDB, Azure

GoLogic Solutions
The Problem
An exciting startup providing Chicago-area businesses with a pickup and delivery solution in the midst of
the
pandemic needed help realizing their broader vision for their React Native mobile app.
The Solution
My first task on this project was to increase test coverage on their Ruby on Rails API.
Then, I implemented several front end and back end improvements, including adding PostGIS for a
geolocation feature,
and driving a substantial front end redesign. Among the improvements I delivered were a brand new landing
page, filtered search results,
and an improved shopping cart experience, helping to make the founder's vision for their app a reality,
and support user growth
outside of their Chicago-area base.
Technologies Used
Ruby on Rails, React Native, Heroku
