Employment History
IBM Watson HealthSystem Architect
Fall 2017 - Present
Architected the Watson Health Pattern & Asset Library (PAL)
As part of the Design Excellence Team (DXT) in Watson Health, we created the Watson Health Pattern & Asset Library (PAL). Bending to the unique legal requirements of building UI applications for the health sphere, the system automates testing, reporting, and releases. We also created the Exported Tests architecture which allows cross-framework, importable and stackable UI unit tests.
IBM WatsonSenior Front End Developer
2016 - Summer 2017
Created an Open Source content management system for the Watson developer docs.
In my first year at IBM, I worked on a design team tasked with creating a documentation site for the IBM Watson developer docs. To allow immutable data, content versioning, and publishing gateways, we created Punchcard CMS.
NBC UniversalSoftware Architect
2014 - Fall 2015
Planned and built an open source, NodeJS-based component library for internal use
My last big job at NBC was to experiment with creating a component library to store templates for an upcoming full rebuild. We created a NodeJS-based component library that was eventually open sourced with the name Pattern Library. The library allowed stackable and reusable component libraries, bundled with a GulpJS-based development environment. It was a cool thing.
Senior Development Lead
2009 - 2014
Spearheaded NBC's Wordpress system, NBCUPress, a re-usable Wordpress deployment system.
During my years as Senior Dev Lead, I created and maintained NBC's internal Wordpress system, NBCUPress. We built and maintained a re-usable, share-able Wordpress deployment system to keep site styling and building away from CMS maintenance. Then we built a gazillion sites using it.

These four years I was bangin out sites, creating reusable HTML/Sass patterns, and meticulously documenting our development processes.

RaspberryPi-based Wifi-streaming POV Camera
For my IRL game The Chase, I need multiple, body-mountable, wifi-connected, live-streaming cameras. Required me to build a battery-operated camera that has real time, on-demand streaming via wifi, with a decent picture, that can mount to body or objects via gopro accessories.
