Current Experience (2015-Present)2
Technical Lead Workstorm Mar 2018 - Present
● Created a Microsoft Outlook Add-in which allowed customers to schedule video conferences without leaving
Outlook. This resulted in a more salable product for users who prefer Outlook. Increases in sales figures were
not shared with me.
● Enabled clients to chat and have video conferences on mobile by implementing two Cordova apps (iOS &
Android) which resulted in increased product sales and team communication while traveling.
● Migrated homegrown frontend framework to Vue/Vuex by implementing a go-between library so that our
team could migrate frontend over time. This resulted in an unmeasured yet obvious productivity increase
across all development projects.
● Implemented feature management suite using native JavaScript, web sockets, and Java which resulted in the
ability for customers to opt-in/out-out of paid features as well as the businesses ability to globally manage
features across all clients.
● Implemented an email and calendar client using Microsoft Graph and Vue so that customers did not need to
leave our platform. Integrating these products into our platform helped achieve the overarching goal of
cross-feature integrations. The ultimate result was a more salable platform.
● Maintained our single-page application by mentoring devs, participating in design sessions, and coding
features created by our product team. This resulted in an all-in-one collaboration platform well-suited for
small to enterprise customers supporting mobile, desktop, and web.

● Created no code app platform. This resulted in funding by a private investor and several pitches to customers

This resulted in a new product line for the hardware reseller.
