PHP

My PM and the business wanted to illustrate to other teams that a fast-paced, fail-fast approach where we released daily (as opposed to 1-3 times per year) would serve us much better in that we could learn quickly, iterate and pivot, without huge costly investments into products that did not meet expectations or deadlines.

Before hiring my team, I set up a CICD pipeline and basic framework of a site that could sustain a heavy and intense crawl from google.

New hires all released to production on their first day of work - a principle I had brought to the table, that it should be so automated and simple that someone could set up and deploy a small feature within their first few hours of working at Sourceability.

Our parts and datasheets website, which also incorporated proprietary availability and quality scores, was used - within 3 months of inception - to successfully sell a 3 year Analytics API contract to an international multibillion dollar company, as well as driving organic traffic and learning how to scale to sustain google crawls of the hundreds of thousands of electronic component parts in our inventory while scaling down outside of the crawl / high-traffic moments.

• Full Stack - React, NodeJS, Typescript, Kubernetes, Gitlab
• Functional Reactive Programming - RxJS, highlandjs
• Daily Production Deploys - Canary Deployment w/ K8s
• Constant Collaboration - No “throwing over the wall”
• CI/CD Automation Pipeline - Every user story gets an instant shareable environment
• Coaching / Mentoring / Leading diverse team

We went through several iterations of the website, but our goals were SEO optimization and systematizing the internal booking process with salesforce while exposing certain information about entertainers, acts and availability through the website, and keeping those in sync with entertainer calendars.

With the help of some interns, I designed and built the website from the ground up, and hosted it at Cleveweb.com, the software solutions company I had formed a few years earlier.

montgranite.com - supplier of natural stone website. After assessing their products, we categorized them according to stone type, colors, texture and brand, then I created a MySQL database and an ORM to read/write PHP objects and their relationships from the database and present it as a front-end, which I designed to resemble a piece of marble.

I then hosted the company's website and email for a number of years afterward and actively updated the site on retainer.

I built a plain web and interactive flash based website for mpercent.com, an art gallery, backed by a php web server and mysql database, containing various works of art, artists and events that were being presented and searchable to end users

Working with executives, I designed, built, hosted, continuously updated, and reported traffic analysis reports for Northcoast Technologies. I designed and built an animated advertisement explaining their product.

Rick Smith Jr. was one of my best customers, we did 3 different versions of the website over an 8 year span. They included advanced animations and rich video experiences as well as booking forms and SEO optimizations.

Thetaylorcompanies.com had a searchable cataolgue of many pieces of furniture, each with multiple image angles, specs, descriptions, brands, pricing, and delivery schedules. After understanding their needs, I put together a MySQL database, PHP web server with a custom ORM, and an rich frontend with an animated intro page.
