I lead Filevine's largest feature development team. We're responsible for billing, timekeeping, activity, tags, etc. I helped interview dozens of candidates and got to hand-pick my team and help fill out additional teams. I've also successfully recruited one of the most performant engineers in the company and an all-star designer to the company.

One of the larger projects I led was a total rework of the tagging system. This project touched a massive footprint of the app, and we achieved dramatic performance gains and successfully migrated every customer to the new system (swap the engine mid-flight!).

Another fun project was a very complex content editable component that serves as the primary note-taking mechanism in Filevine. I learned a lot about the complexity of caret management and TreeWalkers.

My core engineering contributions are frontend work in Svelte. I introduced the first frontend unit tests and Storybook to the core Filevine application and have developed a custom state management methodology for Svelte. I've been writing Svelte full-time since 2019.

Boutique software agency crafting modern web experiences. Pitched, sold, designed, developed, and delivered dozens of technical products.

I did a lot of different work with my agency. We were small but extremely effective, and I think I maximized my growth and experience by going out on my own early in my career.

I got to do a bit of everything. I networked with businesses and sharpened my B2B sales skills, wrote proposals and contracts, managed client relationships through the lifecycle, loads of greenfield and legacy product development, strategic consulting, contract negotiation, full SLDC ownership from ideation to production and maintenance.

Some highlight over the years:

I joined iVueit in 2018 as CTO and led the product design and development of a complete rewrite of all software.

First, I migrated the legacy app from a regional hosting provider to AWS. I organized all code assets into source control. I created an API for the legacy database to enable existing customers to automate tedious manual processes unlocking rapid revenue growth.

Rearchitected the entire platform from the ground up with a more performant and modern stack: Go, gRPC, IaC, Svelte. Seamlessly migrated to the new platform with minimal downtime (minutes). Redesigned the operational flow of the iVueit admin and end-user processes to automate manual tasks, increase the accuracy of site surveys, and reduce fraud.

Assisted founders with technical sales, fundraising, and strategic planning.

Brick and mortar, literally! While the business folded 18 months into the pandemic (offices are so 2019 right?) I built up a solid base membership of highly talented coworking members. This location also served as and staging/afterparty space for the Westerville Web.

I was employee #2 at Dropoly, the first technical hire. I was a wearer of many hats including sales, fundraising, and team expansion. I built a high interactive web app to calculate an inverse energy model of residential homes. The app could accurately estimate energy reduction potential of behavioral and physical changes within the home by using NOAA weather data, a home owners energy bills and location, and a home survey.

Next Dropoly pivoted to create an energy education platform that met the requirements of the Ohio Learning Standards. Created a delivery market through educational partnerships with schools funded by utilities that service them.

Epic brought me on for a brief engagement between undergrad and grad school to build 3D coverflow user interface in C# with WPF (ahhh, those were interesting times). The code was optimized to only render interactive elements on the active “album” to allow for thousands of items to be displayed and scrolled through while maintaining a high frame rate.
