Featured Project
Allspeak
Allspeak is a self-service application meant to solve the arduous process of making changes to a specific subset of SQL metadata. In short, this tool empowers users, both technical and not, to be able to make changes to this metadata without having to worry about version control processes.
​
TLDR; Allspeak generates and maintains a standardized set of SQL scripts and automates the process of committing revisions to these scripts via Git.
React/Redux UI
ASP.Net Core REST API
Integrated with Bitbucket/Github APIs
The name Allspeak is a fun nod to the fact that the metadata had to do with localizable strings.
Extracurricular
Hour of Code
One of my favorite parts about volunteering to host Hour of Code sessions at elementary schools is that I get to see just how bright our younger generations are. If I get to help nurture that in at least one student, then it's all worth it.
Women in Technology Conference
The company I worked for sponsored this conference and I got the opportunity to represent them as an industry professional and participated in panel Q&A, career fair, and workshops given to students in attendance.
Community Management
I happened upon a like-minded community on Twitch and over time I became more active in it as a moderator on both Twitch and Discord, curating content and helping keep the community to expected standard and vibes.
