Designed and implemented a command-driven, event sourcing architecture in Elixir. Connected phoenix sockets to mongoDB listeners to automatically broadcast updates to authorized user’s devices.

Set up push notification with APN and Firebase messaging to send relevant real-time updates to users who opt in.

Built a back-end portal for users to manage accounts and subscriptions using MithrilJS as the front-end library.

Deployed the Elixir application to AWS using Docker Swarm on a fresh ec2 instance to keep cloud costs down.

Initially optimized the building of calendar data in the local timezone from 1900ms to 170ms to reduce application boot time by switching from luxon to @js-joda for timezone conversions. Further improved this to < 10ms by pre-building the source data into over 300 different timezones and sending it to the client once.

Worked closely with founders to translate application concept into a detailed project map. Designed and implemented front and back-end systems. Configured servers and deployed application to a production environment ahead of schedule. Dockerized all microservices and setup production docker swarm cluster.

Wrote system documentation and help tutorials for customers.

Worked closely with CTO to design and implement a system to track the supply chain of part ordering, fulfillment, deliveries and returns. Extended existing Ruby API and used React and Material UI to develop front-end user interfaces. I also built and documented a data migration from MongoDB to Dgraph and created an implementation pattern for the different data models.

I initiated the adoption of code standards, re-usable patterns and a shared utility repository for the small but growing team.

Identified and solved business problems related to managing and auditing inventory in a highly regulated industry. Implemented solutions to maintain inventory compliance with a 3rd party oversight agency, coordinate and track deliveries, accept online orders and manage email and SMS marketing campaigns.

Developed a Golang server-side application with user authentication, HTTP and WebSocket APIs, and multiple 3rd party API integrations (Metrc, Slack, Geocodio, Twilio, Leafly, MapQuest and WooCommerce) to interact with and pass information between a suite of 6 front-end client applications.
