“Helping Elixir teams scale faster, reduce technical debt, and ship with confidence.”

🧑‍🍳 Kitchen Display System

My role and work: Joined a company that took ownership of a mission-critical kitchen software platform (web/mobile ordering, kitchen terminals, in-person ordering kiosks, etc.) but did not have dedicated software people in-house. Helped strengthen the platform foundations through documentation and execution of upgrades; analyzed active crashes and reduced system error rate; modernized and decommissioned unneeded production hardware to reduce costs.
Product Impact: Maintained high uptime and correctness of the platform through updates and bug fixes. Improved overall confidence and tooling, allowing for ongoing feature additions.

🥇 Budget Proposal Approval System

My role and work: Collaborated with product leadership to refine and document a complex business logic tree request, shaking out many edge case concerns. Crafted the full-stack execution of this vision in Elixir and LiveView.
Product Impact: Added a powerful feature to the client’s budgeting product, allowing their customers to create custom rule-bound approval flows.

📊 Revenue and Expense Interactive Charts

My role and work: Transformed custom chart concepts from the design team and executed them using the Highcharts charting library. Reworked internal data fetching modules to define new data shaping patterns and testing approaches.
Product Impact: With the addition of expressive and interactive visuals, customers have a greater sense of where the money is going.

🔒 Third-party Integrations for a Security Dashboard Platform

My role and work: A security platform wanted to expand its integrations with popular vendors, including Zoom, Google, and Microsoft. I added OAuth authentication workflows and various platform API consumption to centralize a security vision for customer accounts.
Product Impact: Increased customer value in understanding what tools housed insecure accounts. Provided direct guidance on improving security and keeping it secure over time.

🧑‍⚕️ Ongoing Maintenance for HIPAA-compliant Healthcare Platform

My role and work: Took ownership of a platform (web and mobile apps) previously built by a separate development agency. Shepherded it through a down development cycle, addressing bugs and adding features as needed. Nothing too sexy but honest work using a spread of tech, including Elixir, GraphQL, and React Native.
Product Impact: Maintained customer delivery of product during a major developer handoff. Provided confidence and relief to the non-technical founders who could rely on someone when problems arose.

🛠️ Ember.js to LiveView Conversion

My role and work: Augmented a development team building SMS communication software and took ownership of converting some historic corners of the app that were still using Ember.js to a modern LiveView implementation. Some of these pages were rich CSV import flows, and care had to be taken related to maintain speed and stability.
Product Impact: By employing me as a consultant focused on technical debt, the full-time staff was able to focus on more involved and structural platform initiatives. By removing Ember.js, the build and delivery tech stack was greatly simplified.

🎓 Elixir Mentor to Java Converts

My role and work: Augmented a full-time team that recently embraced Elixir and was actively converting the entire platform from Java to Elixir. I joined a team and helped mentor Java developers to master functional programming and Phoenix LiveView patterns. I also owned threads of work related to Facebook Marketplace API integrations.
Product Impact: The team greatly appreciated having Elixir-experienced people around for questions, feedback, and timely pull request code reviews.
