Developed a variable, bulk-record insert script in PHP for MySQL which reduces the amount of time to insert large amounts of rows (e.g. 1M+) by an average of 20%. I had to learn about different MySQL insert optimizations, and how to best exploit them to insert as many rows possible per database connection. I wrote a Medium post about my findings, which now has more than 1.5K views.

Designed a Single Page Application CMS using VueJS for the front-end, Laravel for the back-end, and the Pusher service for push notifications. This application was a single feed of consolidated source documents; allowing an Editorial team of 75+ people to be notified instantly of new available documents, who was actively looking at them, and whether someone considered it newsworthy or not.

Created an application which automated common SDLC tasks like updating Jira tickets, and creating GitHub Pull Requests while at the same time facilitating these actions via Slack messages. This was a self-started initiative I pursued after seeing the potential to streamline our development team's processes. Still being used to this day, this application has saved us a subscription to services like IFTT and Zapier while providing better service and unlimited customization.
