Learnosity builds libraries and services to allow other developers to build and administer rich online assessments. For the first year of my time at Learnosity I was a frontend engineer maintaining authoring tools. For the past 6 months I have been working in the back end team to scale the analytics platform to allow clients to create flexible and fast reports for teachers and educators.

• Maintained and enhanced a library of rich, embeddable UI components (ES6, React)

• Measured and improved the reliability of Webdriver tests (Node JS, Webdriver IO)

• Integrated a latex-to-speech library for math formulas for the benefit of vision impaired users (NVDA, ChromeVox)

• Researched and load tested a new analytics solution for aggregating and reporting on a large, multi-dimensional data set of hundreds of millions of data points (Elasticsearch)

• Loaded tested our adaptive assessment engine (AWS EC2, Python, Locust)

I returned to Property IQ Strata and had the opportunity to see the evolution of the platform I had created earlier.

• Maintained and improved a large single page web application (ES5, PHP, MySQL)

• Gained experience seeing the long term consequences of earlier design decisions

• Created a REST API for the system to be accessed by third party developers (Swagger)

• Created a framework for automated Webdriver tests (PHPUnit, Selenium Server)

• Remote administration of Linux and MySQL servers (CentOS)

I was the first developer of Property IQ Strata, an enterprise strata management platform. I was the only developer for the first 6 months of the product’s development and was responsible for architecting the core application framework (both client and server) using both open source and custom built libraries.

• Architected and developed a complex single page web application (ES5, PHP, MySQL)

• Created a browser based application for designing invoices (CKEditor, Phantom JS)

• Created the back end services for invoice generation and billing (Node JS)

• Created the reporting infrastructure for both online and paper based reports (TCPDF)

• Created the infrastructure for automated testing (PHPUnit)

• Automated the build and deployment processes

• Provided leadership amongst the development team as it grew and mentored junior developers

• Benchmarked and optimized the requests sent between client and server
