Life

Personal Summary

I have, in some shape or form, been integrating disparate systems since I first started working professionally. Having founded an EDI company in 2012, our driving focus was tying EDI into existing systems through any means necessary. Over the years, I have learned many integration tools that greatly assist in the process, but I will always remember those scrappy first years where every connection had to be done manually.

Background

In my early years I learned to program video games using Macromedia Flash & Microsoft Visual Basic. Since then I’ve continually expanded my knowledge in programming languages and coding methodologies. This has allowed me to develop numerous applications, adapters & API’s for some of the companies that I have supported.

I love finding interesting new problems to solve, and to collaborate with my colleagues to find the best avenue to pursue. Contributing to ongoing projects has been a huge source of joy for myself in the past few years. This has led to me getting involved in the open source software and hardware development areas, and eventually being handed the reins of the Inkeys project; a community focused on building accessible hardware and software.

Projects

At the age of 19, taught myself Linux and SysAdmin from the ground up to create a Data Processing application running on a CentOS server that is still in production to this day, 14 years later.

Deployed many integrations using Jitterbit, Sterling Integrator, Workato, and SCPI, along with other integration software to connect to Netsuite, Salesforce, SAP, and other ERPs

Created an end to end EDI processing pipeline inside SAP Cloud Platform Integration Suite

Built custom integration tools for ECommerce to connect with EDI partners.
