Joined Frameless Hardware Company as their first in-house PHP developer, brought on to stabilize and extend a Magento e-commerce site that was initially built through a patchwork of custom modules. My primary focus was integrating the company ERP with Magento and building reliable, customer-facing workflows. Over time I expanded to designing new pages, checkout flows, and internal tools to improve both the customer experience and operational efficiency. While I was in between new features to develop, I would review, debug, and refractor the existing codebase, sometimes fixing simple bugs, othertimes developing workarounds for Magento itself. Working here really helped me refine the fundementals of my software skills across the board and at all levels of the web stack.

InformUS is a web application project I co-founded with friends, later incorporated as an LLC, with the goal of making it easier for the American public to stay informed and engaged with government and the civic process. On the website inform.us, users can learn more about bills in the legislature and how their representatives have voted, explore candidates running in their districts, and track important actions taken by the executive and judicial branches.

I contributed across the full stack, but primarily focused on database design, information gathering, and server administration. My work centered on automating the collection of data from government sources and compiling it into a cohesive, queryable database. Through this project I gained deep experience with Python scripting, MySQL database design, Apache server configuration, and further honed my PHP and JavaScript skills.
