Staff Software Engineer

Senior Engineer

RUST is now up there as my "favorite language". I started working with it in 2019 just to learn it, but as I got deeper and deeper I enjoyed it more and more.
I have written an open-source remote execution/cache system for build systems in RUST:

I ran Toyota Research Institute's "Platform Review" team. This team was a subset of about 25-30 of the most senior engineers that would make the standards, guidelines and ultimately every pull request had to be approved by someone on this team for the code to make it into development.
I also wrote:
* 2 Camera drivers (used in Toyota vehicles on public road)
* a lidar driver (used in Toyota vehicles on public road)
* in-house JPEG gpu-based compressor/decompressor (in cuda)

While at Google I was on the team to develop/maintain Chrome Devtools/Inspector.

I wrote a private framework in node which helps with MVC structure and routes the data to the proper files. It was developed to be highly scalable and pushed Node to the limit of it's abilities. The framework was used for some management software (was a contract job).

[I don't work in PHP any more] I have worked in PHP for many years. I have written a full sales system for a company which manages: Invoicing, Inventory, Orders, Sales, Customers, Payments, Bills, Returns, Quotes, Auto-Credit Card processing, and much more. This software turned the company paperless and handles apx $500,000USD in sales per day. I have also written an enterprise level shopping cart and a separate Joomla! plugin shopping cart. I even went as far as making extensions to PHP to handle some processes faster.

I don't personally enjoy working in Go, but I do know it quite well from various projects internal to Google.

I am quite well known amongst my colleagues as being able to make amazing queries. I am very conscious about query speed and performance and proper ways to do things

Most of my database work is done in sql languages. I am quite well known amongst my colleagues as being able to make amazing queries. I am very conscious about query speed and performance and proper ways to do things

I like many primary-developers prefer not to work in HTML/CSS as these are generally for designers, but I am fluent in both and often act as a "go-to" when the designers can't get something to display properly.

I have written a few extensions to PHP in C and a few other smaller projects, but most of the time I work in Objective-C or C++

I have written a couple Apps on the app store, one of which works with an external hardware device called the "Linea Pro" which is used for barcode scanning and credit card swiping. I do not do much interface work, instead I focus more on the code itself.

I used to work for a web hosting company, but because they refused to move to the cloud I changed jobs. (the company no longer exists)

Most of my projects are on git, but sadly most of them are on private repositories. I helped move quite a few projects from SVN to GIT a few years ago.

I am a RegEx (Regular Expression) expert. I stopped working in perl years ago, but I can definitely get your RegEx issues fixed!
