Planned and developed a solution for automatic SSN and EIN verification at scale by interfacing with the newly developed IRS API. This service operated in compliance with IRS's safeguards such as a daily quote of "similar" requests, and custom authorization workflow.

Developed pipelines for the creation of 1099B and 1099MISC forms and their IRS FIRE file counterparts. This was done through both modifications of legacy Python code as well as a complete rewrite for certain forms in Typescript using React-pdf (would recommend).

Established patterns of data validation through the use of Zod parsing and opaque types which is now used throughout the company.

Helped develop cross-organization CircleCI deploy patterns using Jinja to allow for multi-account configuration via a yaml config file.

Overhauled Twitter and Facebook ingestion pipelines to use newly available metrics from Twitter's early-access V2 API and Facebook's V10 API.

Resolved multi-hop timeouts for very large requests by refactoring the pipeline to use Transfer-Encoding: chunked.

Solved Scala's case class limit of 22 properties (which had unknowingly been reached on a core data model) by switching to a Trait implementation with an implicit conversion to a case class. This solution offered a drop-in replacement that allowed the continued use of pattern matching.

Launched campaign to make open-source contributions to the Twitter4s (Twitter for Scala) library.

Aided in the deprecation of Angular.js by rebuilding the dashboard in react.

Initiated the transition from Perl w/ CGI to TypeScript w/ Express, using Nginx to serve up new components as they became available.

Allowed for the deprecation of IE11 by replacing a homebrew Internet Explorer plugin, used to access the filesystem from the browser, with a thin client offering the same utility but compatible with all browsers.

Developed AWS infrastructure using SAM and CloudFormation to open up migration potential in the future.

Introduced and standardized development and productivity tools such as JetBrains WebStorm and YouTrack.

Dockerized the build processes of integrated components such as CKEditor and EditInPlace

Represented Lucidoc at career fairs and Meetups, researched candidates and conducted interviews.

Mentored and trained new coaches in proper instruction techniques.

Taught a small army of children from ages 6-16 Python, JavaScript, Java, and Scratch.

Established a standardized curriculum for new students to create online games.
