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

Contributions

Improved app-wide UX consistency, maintainability, and increased developer velocity by introducing UI Component Library.

Increased user value with addition & refinement of numerous core features including: Project Panel, Main Toolbar, Printer List, Preferences Modal, Drag-n-Drop files, Recent files, Auto-Update.

Improved unit, integration, and diagnostic test quality, coverage, and tooling. Ensured installer integrity with automated end-to-end tests using virtual machines in the cloud.

Freed up developer resources by automating previously manual, error-prone installer build, sign, deploy, and release process to the point where the QA organization could take full ownership.

Print Scheduler: Led the execution of a greenfield project to replace the legacy 3D Printer queue management system with a hybrid on-prem/cloud system integrating networked Printers connected locally, via legacy cloud infrastructure, or new AWS Greengrass IoT Gateways. The system needed to integrate with existing workflows, while allowing customers to seamlessly upgrade and unlock new features such as moving Jobs between Printers, automatic load balancing, robust audit trails, search, and reprint. It was designed from the ground up to be functional in fully offline environments, supporting the security requirements of government and defense customers.

GrabCAD Control: The authentication and authorization hub of the GrabCAD Additive Manufacturing Platform. Features: Enterprise SSO, User & Group Management, Access Control of Printers, Granular Permissions, Licensing and Entitlements systems.

Contributions

Architecture, database design, UI/UX, CI/CD, and documentation.

Completion of stalled multi-year effort to replace legacy auth system with AWS Cognito for 100K+ users. I completed this project as half of a 2 dev "tiger team". We pivoted from a high-risk rollout plan to a low-risk, incremental approach and delivered with zero downtime and no regressions.

GrabCAD Shop: A greenfield SaaS product for work order and resource management in industrial "Model Shops" using additive and traditional manufacturing technologies. Features: CAD model previews, order configuration & price quoting based on automatic 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.

Contributions

In close collaboration with Product, our evolving teams negotiated scope, architected a new technology stack, delivered a feature rich MVP on schedule, and responded to customer feedback to deliver new features and optimizations.

TraceView was a best-of-breed 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.
