TekSystems - John Deere Contractor

Currently at John Deere, I help develop test driven planning software for farm managers in Germany with Agile. I also manage the deployment of applications that my team owns.

Technology

Work Manager was primarily the application that I worked on. For the front-end we used react/redux, and used babel/webpack to bundle our code. For the backend we used node.js with the hapi.js framework. All our code was test driven using mocha.

There was also a couple java spring microservices that I worked on. This is where I got to learn a lot about cloud infrastructure by learning how to deploy the microservice to AWS ECS and AWS ELB. We used Terraform to manage the deployment of the infrastructure.

Powell Guitar

Aaron Powell was one of my first clients as a freelancer while I was still in college. This project taught me what it was like to work with a client and the certain demands that are associated with it.

Technology

PowellGuitar is a website that is made with WordPress so that Aaron can still manage the content on the site. I worked with a pre-made theme and edited the HTML and CSS inside the theme to meet Aaron's needs.
