Worked on all components of the Forge service, which serves as the package repository for the Puppet configuration management tool. Included work on the API application (Ruby - Sinatra), the web frontend (Nodejs - next.js), and an associated service which runs evaluations on uploaded content using Docker and AWS Fargate. Also involved management of infrastructure in AWS.
Was one of 12 participants selected to work with Rust core team members to improve Rust development tools and resources. Focus of project work was on rustw, a web frontend for the Rust compiler built with React & Redux. Improvements were made to the development experience, adding API documentation and tools like JSON server, as well as the end user experience, with URL routing and a cleaner layout.
Met weekly with team over two project seasons to create a data product exploring urban development in Portland. First season contribution centered on the front-end javascript used to aggregate data from microservices and create an animated map using Leaflet. During the second season, main contributions were to the ETL pipeline, using Python and the Pandas library to prepare data from Zillow before it was loaded into a PostgreSQL database.
Worked on full site redesign, contributing on multiple levels of the codebase from custom Drupal modules to front-end styling. Since the launch in September 2015, additional projects included setting up end-to-end and visual regression testing using Nightwatch and Wraith, creating custom workflows with the Mailchimp API, and improving measurement of site metrics through Google Analytics and Tag Manager. Beyond regular maintenance and feature additions, developed multiple stand-alone, interactive experiences in single-page application style to facilitate deeper user engagement.
