  • Wrote scripts in javascript / node / sharp to perform optimizations on images
    • For example, translating png to webp
    • Resizing big png to sm/md/lg
    • Optimize images for web pages
    • Have done the same thing in the past with imagemagick

Past

  • The first thing I remember being proud of, was getting our team at USAA, to use JScript rather than VBScript on an IIS server. We used it as our 'template'. It made our team more productive. It was fun. I was the tech lead for some reason.
  • At Rackspace, I wrote code that encrypted contracts at rest (for compliance). It was interesting but I would not recommend me doing that again.

MBLZ

  • Full stack, nose to tail development
  • Set up and deploy servers
  • When asked to create the static sites for customers, I reluctantly agreed. Why reluctantly? There were more than 10 sites and I did not want to design each separately. So, I used middleman, tweaking it so I could design one site (with bootstrap) and drive the content with yaml files. It was a big win.
  • Recovered from catastrophic failure at Digital Ocean - lucky I had back up (git).
  • Made recovery and back up much more robust. I broke the app up into 2 servers - an app server (Rail,mysql) and a web server. I back up the mysql db every day and copy it over to the web server. Of course, there is git.
  • Using Rails and Jquery Mobile were probably the best tech decisions I've made because all the opinions lie in those frameworks (by better designer/developers) - leaving me to fulfill business needs.
  • Installed SSL on all servers
