At LogRhythm, I improved insight into service health by adding StatsD based metrics to multiple .NET services; helped investigate and define developer build processes in a mono-repo using Bazel and Docker; and currently I am working on building out a highly scalable data pipeline component using Go.
At HackCU IV, I worked with a team to create a proof of concept surrounding decentralized SSL certificates via blockchain technology, removing the need for certificate authorities.
At Sovrn, I worked on a Java based ad-exchange bidder for Amazon A9, Google EBDA, and other OpenRTB exchanges; created a Java based service to convert HTML to AMP HTML; and wrote and modified unit and integration tests written with JUnit.
At HackCU III, I led a team of friends to create a navigation app that provides contextual information from a car’s onboard diagnostics. My primary technical role was designing the system architecture and making sure the pieces fit together at the end of the 24 hours. This entry was the winner of the MapQuest API prize.
At Motive Retail, my primary role was writing a user interface for an XML schema generation application. My additions moved it from being an internal prototype to being ready for alpha testing. In addition, I assisted in systems administration, QA testing and specification writing while I was there.
At HackCU II, I worked on a team to build a happiness tracking app using Meteor and a Pebble watch. This app was the winner of the Best Domain Name award.
I worked with a friend to create a WikiQuote.org scraper and parser that verifies a quote for a given individual. This was inspired by John Oliver's definitelyrealquotes.com.

I started with Aquatricity as employee number 2, setting up, modifying and maintaining the company website and blog using WordPress. In addition, I designed and built a company logo and other custom graphics. My largest contribution was building a mobile app prototype (pictured above) with Meteor that assisted in winning startup pitch competitions across the western United States.

I designed and created an informational website and company logo for Continental Color Paint and Restoration, a Boulder County based painting company. After development, I assisted in SEO and their social media presence using Google Business.
In an attempt to apply some of the web development skills I had learned, I started responding to local Craigslist ads for small businesses and startups needing websites. This eventually led to a few regular clients returning with various software needs.
The book pictured above was my first exposure to programming, and is what sparked my interest in the field of computer science.
