UW-Whitewater
I graduated from UW-Whitewater Magna Cum Laude in May 2015 with a Bachelors Degree in Computer Science. During my time at Whitewater I participated in three separate undergraduate research projects, was the student lead for the James R. Connor University Center Tech Crew, and also served as an Audio engineer at the campus radio station, 91.7 the Edge.
Quad/Graphics
Software Engineer
Upon graduating UW-Whitewater, I immediately started working as a Software Developer at Quad/Graphics in 2015. In February of 2017 I was promoted to Software Engineer. During this time I worked towards becoming a proficient full-stack developer with the majority of my time spent creating and maintaining internal web applications utilizing .NET Framework on the back-end with jQuery front-ends. Later, I was afforded the opportunity to develop front-ends in React.JS, ultimately architecting the first entirely React.JS based app at Quad, a practice which is now an accepted standard across development teams. I presented at the first two annual developer conferences giving presentations on RESTful best practices and React.JS + Redux.
Johnson Controls
Senior Software Engineer
For eight months I was employed as a contracting Senior Software Engineer at Johnson Controls in Milwaukee, WI. During this time I was the primary front-end developer for a feature being developed for Johnson's flagship Metasys building automation offering. I worked on a single page application written in AngularJS with .NET Core microservices on the back-end. In addition I contributed to the initiative to modernize the front-end technology stack with Angular, Typescript, and other tools.
Quad/Graphics
Senior Software Engineer
I returned to Quad in October of 2019 as a member of the Logistics team. Soon after I was moved to the Marketing Technology team whose role is to deliver high-priority, high-quality client-facing applications with quick turn around times. From March to November 2020 I served as the UI/UX architect on an application for a multi-million dollar inititive that was successfully delivered ahead of schedule with exceptional customer satisfaction.
