Once again I spent time consulting directly with a number of clients. This cycle included working with an un-launched/unreleased startup named MySlabs, dealing in the sale of baseball/sports trading cards, as well as a project for Allied World, a large insurance company.

Key Accomplishments

  • The team at MySlabs retained us to rebuild their prototype product to help them secure funding and to build a team. I selected NodeJS for the server side paired with React for the front end, with MongoDB providing the data persistence layer. We were successful in building a demonstrable prototype that enabled their first 100 sales, as well as securing a seed funding round which empowered them to grow the business further.

  • At the insurance company, I joined a large team working on a rebuild of one of their core internal insurance planning applications, utilizing Ruby on Rails. The project was set to last several years, and my time was focused on leading one of the sub-teams to expand one of the applications’ functional areas. I spent my time both in helping define work streams, breaking down stories/sizing, as well as delivering several new items of functionality.
