Projects:

DEVC Webpack Playground (2018) - I've been working on an experiment involving folding Vue/Node/Webpack into a containerized Lucee (open source ColdFusion) and MySQL environment we're using at work. As far as I can tell, I was the first person to get Vue and ColdFusion working together in Docker.

SLAter (2018) - I spun up a Raspberry Pi build to constantly check my DeskPro queue and alert me via speakers when I have a new ticket assigned to me. It has also been used to remind a coworker to drink water, and actually cured his gout!

US Webtranet (2017) - I built a proof of concept for a containerized intranet framework for federal agencies. I presented this and demoed Docker in a nationwide conference call to other judiciary developers in January of 2017.

Digital Signage (2017) - I built a digital signage system to let competitors in the 2017 National High School Mock Trials Championship know their various courtroom assignments that auto updated across all loaded instances when new rounds were posted.

Fantasy Draft Challenge - built a fantasy football draft challenge timer to help my league set a draft order based on a timed hot wing challenge. This was something quick that I put together to give the game some structure, but it was a fun build.
