I'm a Brooklyn NY based Full-Stack Software Engineer. I currently work as part of a very small technology team at Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates. For the past couple of years, I have primarily worked with Vue.js, JavaScript, Fastify, Node.js, Mapbox, and Tailwind to build and maintain tools for our architectural staff. My role involves everything from front-end implementation and back-end development to setting up servers and deploying solutions on AWS cloud services.
This quick project was designed to analyze and visualize the microclimate of Bryant Park. The front-end, built with Vue.js and Mapbox, provides an interactive map, while a Fastify back-end collects and formats GeoJSON data from Rhino Compute for map integration. Although smaller in scope than the internal tools I typically develop, this project is publicly accessible here.
Tailslide is an open-source, self-hosted feature flag management solution. It is designed to allow organizations with a microservices architecture to easily and safely deploy new backend features. Tailslide also monitors the performance of feature flags and leverages a customizable circuit-breaking pattern to toggle off problematic features and direct users to a predefined fallback service or feature. If circuits trip, developers are immediately notified, so they can respond appropriately. Tailslide speeds up the deployment cycle without sacrificing reliability.
Using Tailslide, developers can perform "dark launches" - allowing for experimentation of new features in a live production environment, where only internal test accounts or beta users are served the new feature. Tailslide also allows for the safe and gradual rollout of individual features to a subset of the user base, with the ability to easily ramp up, ramp down or shut off all traffic to a specified feature.
Built using Node.js, Express, NATs JetStream, PostgreSQL, Redis Timeseries Database, React/Redux.
