I published my first article on Hashnode! I detail how I was able to bring dynamic data into a site built with a static site generator using GitHub's Flat Data!

Implement Wizard-like Dialog

Our app has many places where a step-based dialog is required to complete various actions. Previously we were utilizing a system that manually kept track of the state of the steps and each step required closing and opening a new dialog. With feedback from the rest of the team I designed and implemented a reusable "Wizard-like" module that allows for consistent UI and experience for the user. Additionally, developers implementing Wizard dialogs require significantly less UI code and the state of the Wizard dialog is more easily managed.

Technologies used in this project include Java, Vaadin, and Spring Boot.

Published "Thoughts on HBO Max"

Wrote an article talking about the recent integration test that went out from HBO Max. Give their intern plenty of hugs but also make sure you're focusing scrutiny on HBO themselves. The error uncovers some potentially serious organizational problems.

Implement user-defined rules system

I helped lead the primary design and implementation of a database schema and UI components to allow end-users to configure which documents to include in a contract signing process. When placing an investment into a company a variety of documents are required to be signed. The exact documents to include could differ based on the type of investment being made. The system we designed included the ability to define the rules for each potential document on whether it should be included for a given investment. This functionality helps our clients provide the appropriate documents to ensure a secure, valid investment in a timely manner.

Technologies used in this project included Spring Boot, Vaadin, and Postgres.
