Technical leader who loves learning, collaborating, and problem solving with the end goal of delivering business effective software solutions. I worked in medical manufacturing as a process engineer prior to moving to software. That experience often leads me to look at the software development process from the perspective of how it can be done to maximize quality, efficiency, and deliver on metrics that are most important to the business.
I have been lead engineer on large site migrations, mobile app backends, and architected and supported a network of publishing and learning sites that served over 2 million page views a month and generated $20m in annual revenue. I have run migrations to AWS, built out CI/CD pipelines, developed machine learning models, and advised on and built MVPs for startups. I also run my own SaaS company Saleslight.
I have a strong understanding of the software development cycle both from a product perspective and a developer perspective. My expertise lies in cloud infrastructure, containerization, new product development, and just generally working with a diverse group of people to accomplish a complex project.
Saleslight is a fully blown SaaS product that you can signup for right now and pay me to use! Okay ... well it could always be more blown than it is now and I should probably verify the Stripe credentials, but it is a real, on the market product that is helping insurance professionals find new customers. I conceived the idea for the product and created it. Check it out for yourself at saleslight.io.
After reading through lots of machine learning tutorials and not wanting to install dozens of (at the time) mysterious python packages on my machine (should I use python 2 or 3?!?) I decided to create a docker container. It evolved a little into a practical, deployable, functioning demo, of a Tensorflow tutorial contained within a Flask app. Check it out on my Github and use it to get your next machine learning project started.
Never having opened up an engine before I bought a non runnning motorcycle from the early 90's, took it all apart and then ... put it back together again. When I put it like that it doesn't sound like much of an accomplishment, but hey it worked! Riding it was fun but I was always a little uneasy knowing I was the one who put every bolt back in place. If you have any questions about how it all came together don't be afraid to email me.
