Relay For..?
Relay For is a full stack application that allows runners to join virtual relay teams and run for charity. Each team sets a monthly goal and pledges to donate to a team charity. If the team fails to reach their goal, they donate the pledged sum to charity. The application used a tab display which  utilized Redux to simplify state management.
· I utilized React and CSS Grid to create an initial site layout and allow for conditional rendering of different components. This allowed for simplistic navigation between views and provided an easy shell to build the functionality of the site.
· Utilized bcrypt npm module to support secure user login/sign-up that hashed sensitive user information prior to storage.
· Implemented Redux in order to simplify state management, data flow, and form submission. Using Redux allowed for a defined separation of concern between the model and view components while improving React component readability.

Technologies Used: React, Redux, CSS Modules, CSS Grid, Node.js, Express, bcrypt, PostgreSQL, Azure App Services, Azure Database for PostgreSQL, Azure Storage Accounts

Purrget
Collaborated  with a team of 4 engineers, We designed and deployed a full stack web application representing a store’s item page. The project utilized service oriented architecture in combination with AWS to create a reliable and scalable application capable of handling over 10 million pieces of data with an average response time of 25ms with a 1000RPS throughput.
· Researched and implemented page speed improvements including compression for server Interactions, modern image files, and lazy loading which resulted in a decrease in page load times by more than 75%
· Executed initial deployment via AWS to launch the application utilizing Elastic Beanstalk coupled with AWS RDS.  After successful deployment, I went on to coach multiple teams through the AWS deployment process.
· Researched and compared different databases and index types to minimize the overhead of index data storage. By using PostgreSQL hash indexes instead of a BTREE index, I was able to reduce additional data storage requirements by over 50%.
· Served as Team Lead to plan the project, organize taskings utilizing Trello, head stand up meetings, and meet deadlines by using Agile methodology workflow.

Technologies Used: React, CSS Modules, CSS Flexbox, Node.js, Express, mySQL, AWS EC2/Elastic Beanstalk/RDS/S3, PostgreSQL, mongoDB, Mongoose, k6.js,  New Relic, Docker, Application Scaling

This project had a large emphasis on using an efficient agile methodology and git workflow as all members were working on the same file structure to complete a complex application..
· Implemented JSON Web Tokens and secure hashing algorithms  to create a secure and efficient user management system for user authentication and verification across multiple pages.
· Implemented Express Routing to ensure separation of concerns and simplify interactions with the database. Database interactions were built using the standard mongoDB npm module and selective indexing to increase query efficiency.
· Served as the Lead Architect to help streamline file structure, ensure code readability, and ensure a simplistic and efficient git workflow that allowed for continuous deployment to Google Cloud.

Technologies Used: React, React-Router, Node.js, bcrypt, Express.js, Express-router, MongoDB, MongoAtlas, Google Cloud App Service, Google Cloud Storage
