Internal Analytics Platform
Managed the creation of Executive dashboards that utilized the companies prorpietary data sets. The dashboarding technology was PowerBI and the database was a SQL database. Dynamic reporting was created for 3 different departments and one final report that was used to measure and monitor a proprietary metric and utilized by the executive team.

API For Internal Use
Managed the development team and product team that over saw an internal API route that leveraged an event system. Wrote code directly against the API to help enrich and provide the appropriate information for dependent systems across the technical landscape.

Refactor of a 7 Year Old SQL Database
Managed an outside contractor and worked with the systems architect to rebuild a 7+ year old SQL database. Over 5000 lines of SQL written to consolidate down a 24 gigabyte database. Only 5% of the tables had foregin keys setup. After implementing those, we had a 300% increase in query speed alone.

Converted Legacy Application from Vue.js to TypeScript
Took the product that I was managing and strategically aligned it to the rest of the tech stack. Consolidating down the frontend from Vue.js ot TypeScript, we were able to leverage more of the engineering team to work on user management system. This was executed in tandem with the database overhaul.

Multi-Million Dollar Event Management System
Consolidated an event management system into a companies proprietary application to allow highly related data to be more easily surfaced. The business model of this company only hosted private events, so the need to authenticate was critical to ensure only those who should be allowed to attend could register. Our payment processing was done through Stripe and we also created the ability to purchase using a proprietary currency.
