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 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.

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. + +##Volunteer Experience + +###Cub Master at Boy Scouts of America +September 1998 - December 2000 + +I began working with the BSA as a den leader to help me to spend more time with, and better get to know my +step-son.
