Software engineer
Some of what I've built.
- A donation platform for charity and political campaigns.
- A real estate platform, 400 sites, two million page views a month.
- Thirty microservices collapsed into one application.
- An events platform for sixty newspapers.
- A rewrite I stopped, a dozen venues in, when the old one was still doing a hundred.
- Two mobile apps. The same app, twice.
- A week of outages, fixed without changing a line of code.
- A fuzzy search engine, sixteen years, older than Elasticsearch.
- A dating site feature that found the people who wanted each other back.
- A message board whose ranking code became that search engine.
- Desktop publishing software, shipped on a CD.
- Twelve Nubian goats.
- Five Anatolian Shepherds, livestock guardians.
- Too many chickens, turkeys, and guinea hens.
