### Director of Application Development at Datu Health
*May 2013 - December 2013*
-* Assembled a fully asynchronous web stack using NGINX, Python and Tornado.
-* Wrote a basic collection of custom Python libraries to simplify authentication
-against clients' backend applications and use of RESTful services.
-* Trained web developers in Python, Tornado and asynchronous development.
-* Introduced Grunt.js for client-side builds, including writing a number of
-custom tasks for managing deployment packages and Cordova mobile builds.
-* Provided a basic framework within which to very rapidly grow a technical
-organization. From June through the end of the year took the team from three
-developers to fifteen, with an easy path forward for further growth.
-
-I was invited to join Datu Health (then BickHealth) to design and implement
-their web stack which, at the time of my employment, had not yet been
-considered. My goal was to put together a fully asynchronous web server using
-open source technologies that would allow for rapid development without locking
-us into a rigid, opinionated framework.
-
-I ultimately chose Facebook's Tornado web server and Python, with NGINX as a
-front-end load balancer. Python is an easy choice as a server-side web language.
-It is a clean, powerful language well suited for nearly any task where a
-high-level, object oriented language is appropriate. Any competent JavaScript
-developer can start working in Python with only minimal training, allowing us to
-staff up very quickly.
-
-Contributed to the continued growth and refinement of the D#tu development
-platform, including the introduction of an application bus as the primary means
-of communication between servers, increased security and configurability between
-client engagements, and improved design of stateless applications to operate
-within D#tu's growing cloud environment.
-
-**Technology stack:** Python, Tornado, Backbone.js, Grunt.js, jQuery, Redis,
- MongoDB, Less, Cordova, REST, Node.js

### Cofounder WSOD/MOD Developer University

-**Members:** Adam Shamblin, Christopher Bailey, Laura Myers-Wagner, Jenni Tymkovich
-
-The Web Developer University \(DevU\) program was created to help streamline the
-process of growing our development team to meet ever increasing demand.
-Conceived by Chris Bailey and myself, and with significant support and guidance
-from Laura Wagner and Jenny Tymkovich, our team rapidly developed a curriculum
-and a set of success criteria for an ongoing program.
-
-The program is quite simple. MOD will hire at a temporary, hourly rate ten
-developer candidates of varying skill levels, but with strong evidence of
-aptitude in software development. Often our candidates are recent graduates with
-no prior job experience, or experienced software engineers looking to make the
-leap to web development. Candidates spend 4 weeks in a classroom setting,
-quickly diving deep into web development fundamentals under the guidance
-and tutelage of our senior development team.
-
-At the end of the four week period, candidates are assessed, and those
-considered successful are offered full-time positions as MOD. In the years since
-the DevU project's inception, we have seen an overall 60% hire rate, with a
-significant number going on to join our Senior Development team.
