GrabCAD grabcad.com / Stratasys stratasys.com

GrabCAD Print is the primary user interface for all Stratasys 3D printers; FDM & PolyJet. It handles print preparation & slicing locally, and enables remote job scheduling, management, and reporting tools for networked printers. It's built on Electron + React + TypeScript, with a plugin-based/dependency-injected architecture, and is auto-updated on a monthly release cycle.

Contributions

Refactored & centralized all form & input components, including a feature-rich W3C-compliant localized numeric input. Documented components & design patterns in a living styleguide. Introduced JSX to the codebase.

Added, refined, & enhanced numerous core features to improve UI/UX, maintainability, and introduce new features. (Project Panel, Main Toolbar, Printer List, Preferences Modal, Drag-n-Drop files, Auto-Update, etc.)

Improved unit, integration, and diagnostic test quality, coverage, and tooling.

Spearheaded automation of "the boring stuff": Scripted 3rd party Localization files auto-integrity-checking & PR-generation. Scripted integration to tag Jira tickets with SemVer "fixed by" version for QA paper-trail. Automated previously manual/tedious/error-prone release, build, sign, and deploy process for the desktop app to the point where QA could take ownership of deployment.

Worked with team to develop per-machine WiX desktop installer, expand CI installer test automation to test auto-updates end-to-end using virtual machines in the cloud.

GrabCAD Shop: A green-field SaaS product for work order and resource management in "Modal Shops" using additive and traditional manufacturing technologies. Features: CAD model previews, order configuration & price quoting based on material usage and machine-time estimates, granular user-roles, printer & material management, order & job scheduling & process tracking, rich per-Shop configuration options, internationalization across 10 languages and 100+ currencies.

AppNeta appneta.com

TraceView is a best-of-breed full-stack Application Performance Management (APM) SaaS Application. As a member of TraceView's Web App team, I collaborated with Product Managers, Designers, and distributed Developer teams to design, develop, and deliver new features and visualizations, including the AppMap network topology graph and the Trace Details request timeline. We also fixed copious bugs, eradicated technical debt, refactored pages & components, and introduced modern Javascript frameworks, libraries, and tooling.

TraceView was acquired by SolarWinds and rebranded as AppOptics. Based on the latest marketing videos showing the UI, I am immensely proud that my experimental, self-initiated Trace Details visualizer remains a stragetic asset.
