Botanical inventory tracking application

I worked with a diverse set of volunteers to clear invasive plants and propagate native specimens to restore such disturbed sites. I also taught plant identification classes all year round based on seasonal characteristics, and wrote all the copy for the weekly newsletter. Part of my role in plant propagation included writing software to manage synchronizing a nursery inventory list.

Working with a great team I developed features for the web frontend for the ActiveState platform along with data interfaces and supplementary services. In addition to my major projects and daily ticketed tasks, I also worked on dev and deployment tooling, creating copy-paste asset catalogues, style-guide color code generators for CSS and Elm, build scripting, improving our Haskell tooling, nginx configuration and service infrastructure documentation. The emphasis this team placed on tooling helped to mitigate so much of the code review friction I’ve encountered in other jobs.
