Agile development of two core products in a industry startup, focusing on thought-leading solutions.

Software Engineer

Authored high-fidelity educational content, including methods for calibrating developer skills.
Formulated projects and application solutions to company hindrances that applied consequential design: Solutions that solved more than their initial problem.
Created software systems for integrating student involvement, retention, and management.

Director of Project Development

Developed static web sites from design documents and provided support, maintainence, and updates using HTML, C#, LESS, MVC, .NET, & javascript.

Front-End Developer

Worked with a small team developing a niche, data-driven, web application using technologies such as Bootstrap, Backbone.js, Marionette.js, Laravel, and Redis.

Junior Web Developer

Developed a basic user-centered website with Javascript, PHP, and mySQL.

Intern

I have built hundreds of static websites, including many of the components from the ground up—as well as complex Single Page Applications and high-performance-related applications—all utilizing JavaScript.
JavaScript was initially my area of focus when I began learning programming, to the extent that I have read many popular libraries' source, and to this day, it remains my favorite language to use and to help others learn.

I've used C# and the MVC framework for large, complex applications, as well as small, informational web sites. I used C# daily for multiple positions, and it is a pleasant object-oriented programming language to work with, and a productive language for even junior developers to use.

I've used from the command-line for all of my projects (minus a few positions which used other version control systems).

Like many who learn to program, one of my hobbies is video game development. I had an interest in game development using canvas and javascript, particularly due to it's infancy when I started. I've done a handful of game jams using Canvas, and am currently working on a game framework for Canvas-based games.

As the Director of Project Development, one of my most beloved responsibilities was the formulation of solutions to real-world problems using content, applications, and systems design. This process entailed making sure every process or solution was multi-faceted, or consequential: providing a solution to more than just the original problem. 

Example:

Seamlessly integrating the users of a job board to incentive them to filter quality posters, helping the next influx of job seekers by utilizing the user's story  (the user reviews each post individually, instead of a list, then approves, saves for later, or claims not interested).
