I'm an experienced technology architect and leader. I have developed large systems for financial services, marketing data analysis and collection, airline and aircraft maintenance, manufacturing industries and countless small business platforms. I've successfully led many development teams from incubation to explosive growth.

• Direct Reports: 100+
• Reduced manufacturing line failure rate by 98% through manual and automated process implementation, utilizing off-the-shelf and custom developed software.
• Created a MIMO order routing system which manages the supply chain for 15 just-in-time part supply facilities which is still in use after 13 years.
• Architected, co-implemented a deal and lead generation system which was sold to MyLife.com (Dealometer)
• Designed and implemented a single-sign-on system for an airline, incorporating PAKE, PAM and SASL.
• Sole developer of a PCI-DSS compliant, virtual HSM based on OpenBSD that utilized multi-factor authentication tokens to allow for key generation and storage within an encrypted RAM-disk.
• Co-developed and architected a data collection and analysis platform to allow Influential to scan, classify and search in real-time, billions of pieces of online content.
• Architect of a JavaScript UI framework which allowed my team of 3 to outpace a team more than 10x larger in development of user experiences for financial services clients such as Discover, Inc. Had to support IE6+.

I created the bs-result library to help me teach fellow engineers about the various category theory patterns. This helped me teach many of the concepts necessary for them to become proficient in ReasonML.

I created the bs-sql-composer library to enable re-usable and compositional SQL statements within the various code bases we utilized at Influential.
This allowed us to quickly generate interesting query combinations without worrying about generating new decoders. This way we could generate a single projection and a single decoder from that projection and utilize it through many dependent object sub-graphs.

When we began utilizing ReasonML bindings did not exist for the mysql2 library. This library has gone through several revisions and I'm fairly happy with the results. It's reasonably easy to use and performant.

As we began utilizing ReasonML more and more, we encountered a use case which required us to incorporate SQLite. Rather than having to learn a new library, I extracted the driver commonality into bs-sql-common so that most of our code could utilize this interface without having to worry about the actual data store.

I was tasked with writing several financial ledgers. In order to avoid floating point arithmetic errors all the transactions were recorded in cents. This library allows for easy management and marking of those values.
