Working directly with an investor, CEO, and UX designer I guided and developed and idea in a Figma project into a complete web application.

Solar CEOs2022
- software
- CRM

- sql
- VueJS
- D3.js
Under the direction of the CTO, CEO, and Sales Manager I consulted and developed various internal and external company tools. Working with the sales team, I created internal dashboards for KPI tracking. I used the library D3.js for interactive graphs. To collect the data, I built a streaming pipeline with Google Cloud Functions and webooks to aggregate data from multiple CRMs such as Go High Level and Hubspot. I also created a new payment processing workflow for clients using Stripe, as well as an branded interface for inquiring on payment plans (loans).
An example of a challenge I overcame
In a recent project I discovered that a feature was working on all devices other than an iPhone, the most common device used by our users. The app has a feature that streams an audio recording from the device to Google Cloud Function. I discovered that the Apple browser API only streams audio in a specific format that is not an option on most other devices. To ensure best compatibility, I setup FFmpeg to receive the data-stream from the device which would auto-detect any source format and convert it into a compatible stream for AI transcription service... all using streaming to optimize latency. The result was a more robust system able to accept any format of audio streams - a vastly superior solution from what less-experienced developers would have devices.
