About me
As a former technical architect and preservationist, I have experience in analyzing and solving complex problems in a fast-paced, detail-oriented environment. I'm passionate about understanding how things work, effective communication, and working in teams to creatively solve interesting problems.
I'm looking to leverage my developing technical skills to work on a human-centered, mission-driven team, in order to support a product or service that has a real measurable impact on the world we live in. As a former architect, I have a specific interest in sustainable design and construction, energy, and building science, but am passionate about learning and eager to contribute to any team tackling challenging problems with a real world impact.

Bookworm is a web application that connects you with a community of book lovers who are eager to share their favorite stories with one another.
This project utilized a service oriented architecture, with teams of 3-4 developers working on separate back end and front end services. I worked with a team of two other developers to create our back end with Rails, Graphql, and a postgresql database. It consumes the third party Google Books API and provides all crud functionality for the relevant objects through a robust Graphql schema.

A web application for turning Strava activities into a game of beers earned, gas money unspent, and pounds C02 saved. Utilizes a service-oriented architecture (front-end and back-end rails applications), OAuth with Strava, and consumes three third-party APIs (OpenBrewery, CollectAPI - Gas Prices, and Strava API). Worked with a team of six others to develop both the front end and back end services over a 9-day period.
