Training Bot 2.0
A SaaS application my team inherited to add new features such as Slack integration and a responses dashboard that works with Slack, SendGrid, and Twilio.
- Training Bot 2.0 is an application that allows companies and managers to handle their employee continuing education & training resources and manage the communications around those resources.
- The team consisted of myself and four other full stack engineers that worked for 5 weeks to refactor an existing code base to be more scalable, handle responses from multiple API's such as Slack, SendGrid, and Twilio, handle payments with Stripe API, authentication from Auth0.
- I focused on Strip API integration, refactoring the inherited backend code, writing clear and professional documentation, and helping redesign database schema from the group up
- Tech Stack: The frontend was written in React and Redux, the backend in Node and Express, and Material UI for design.

Doorman
A Hackathon project that allows you to white list or black list Github users to auto accept or deny repo invites.
- This was the work product of the Lambda School Summer Hackathon. My team and I all had experience as Team Leads or Section Leads and wanted to find a way to automate acceping github repo requests from the same people every day for different projects.
- Since this was a real pain point for us we decided to use the Hackathon to build a tool that would allow us to whitelist (or blacklist) repo requests from people. So if we got 8 requests to collaborate on a repo and those individuals were on the white list our app would auto accept.
- Tech Stack: Vue for the frontend, Vuetify for UI, and Firebase as our backend. We only gave ourselves two days to learn how to use Vue and Vuetify as an extra challenge. We also integrated with Github's API for smart search feature too.
- I focused on UX/UI design.
