Work Experience

AutoFi (2016 - current)

I began working at the FinTech company early on as a frontend developer, transitioned to a platform role, and have now moved into a senior, full-stack position using, among others, Next, GraphQL, and RabbitMQ to build and maintain true digital retailing capabilities for a variety of business-facing customers. Employee number 7 of a 100+ person company that feels more like a family.

Gogo Bus (2013)

An Angular app serving General Transit Feed Specification (GTFS) data stored on MongoDB interfacing with Express running on Node. I'm making use of a nice Node module which pulls up-to-date GTFS data for any given transit agency, parses the xml, and populates a database on Mongo. This project is intended to result in an easy-to-customize transit app with which developers can learn and play.
