Well met, good travelers! I am truly excited to have you as my guests. I've been helping software teams grow and deliver quality products for almost 15 years. I'd love your product to be next.
I graduated from the University of Alabama (ROLL TIDE!) and am currently pursuing a degree in Game Design and Development from the Savannah College of Art and Design.
When I'm not making games I love spending time with my family, playing games, listening and playing music, and getting outdoors in the beautiful Pacific Northwest.
I have been in the development game for 15 years now at many different levels from individual contributor, to project manager, producer, and engineering manager. I have built and mentored many excellent teams focused on the values: diversity, culture, passion, communication, collaboration, dependability, and delivery.
I love working as the glue for our projects and filling in the blanks as a generalist wherever needed. In the past this meant I worked on developing complex technical solutions around choosing a new chat platform serving 20 million live users or researching the infrastructure needed for a large-scale rental mobile app.
For over a decade I have been committed to lead my teams by empowerment and I fully embrace the servant leadership methodology. Building highly-performant teams is where I excel and my super power is being someone people like to work with not only on my team but also my partners company-wide.
Borderlands: Echovision Live
My team build an exciting upcoming massively interactive live event. I hired and led the team building out the interactive portion and integrating Genvid's proprietary SDK to broadcast gameplay, minigames, chat, and more.
I handled hiring for devs, QA, project manager, and producers, driving early best practices, coaching, delivering milestones, and also filling in on project management and production.
We worked on minigames, avatar builders, in-app currency purchasing, spending, and balancing, and season pass!
Silent Hill: Ascension
My team collaborated on the next iteration of Genvid's MILE. Our team assisted in porting over our work on authentication, chat, moderation, and custom avatar builders.
We also researched and built out the mobile asset delivery and production pipeline to the app stores. Our solution got Silent Hill up and running in iOS and Android apps.
Our work on in-game currency earning, spending, and balance was adopted as well.
Featured Project
Scout is an application that pulls in Amazon seller data via a custom API and displays visualizations based on sales. I ran the team building the application and worked directly with the client to manage the scope and technical solutions. This included customized graphs & APIs, complex searching formulas, and customer account management all wrapped up into a modern frontend.
Featured Project
Special Olympics of Oregon needed client work on their volunteer management system. I led the team working on the backend building out technical solutions to help them track and schedule volunteers for the games and events. The system we worked on was crucial to automated the signup and vetting process for new volunteers and helping to organize the background checks for prospects.
Featured Project
Over the summer 2020, STAR was in desperate need to build a new teaching delivery system for students returning to school in the fall but these students and teachers would be interacting remotely due to the COVID lockdowns. These students are special needs and would be remotely learning for the first time. There was a tight deadline and I managed the team responsible for building their remote interactive delivery system where teachers could share content during live instruction, videos, games, and more with students to interact directly in the app. We also built the teacher administration backend where they could customize academic plans for each student, create groups of students, and manage their progress.
Featured Project
For File Evictions, I was able to set up the early project management best practice and join as the first backend developer on the project. I was able to build the early iteration of a complex legal form generator and on the design and work directly with the stakeholder on requirements. I evaluated project needs to determine infrastructure and even was a part of legal requirements fact finding and reviewing specialized court requirements to determine the technical solutions needed.
Featured Project
Worldwide Machinery's corporate ERP system was built to manage $100 million + worth of equipment. As Software Manager, I built the team and managed the project end-to-end directly with the CEO. The plan for this new system was intended to replace their decades old legacy ERP in a new backend microservice and modern frontend available online. My team not only worked on the new frontend but building out the new data model, microservice infrastructure, deployment pipeline, and implementation.
Featured Project
HostGator's billing app served over 9 million customers at the time. I worked on the development team as a senior designer and developer for the project. This complex app served as the main portal for customers viewing the account details, paying their bills, and subscribing to services. This project included working on designs in Adobe based on project needs and implementing the frontend using Perl, Javascript, and HTML/CSS.
