  Navigating Cancer builds software that helps oncology clinics better manage their relationships with cancer patients. I worked on both the clinic and patient facing applications, with a heavy focus on helping to create our growing library of React Components. I helped define the way NC uses React as new features are being built and as we migrated away from Backbone. Key technologies: React, Ruby, Rails, Haml, CoffeeScript, MySQL, Postgres, Backbone, Jest, Enzyme, Capybara Navigating Cancer builds software that helps oncology clinics better manage their relationships with cancer patients.

Alpine Pipeline, LLC

• Ruby on Rails Software Developer

  • Apr 2014 - Jun 2015

  This year has been all about trying out new technologies, business ideas, cultures, and foods. In addition to traveling and exploring whatever city I’m currently based in, I also spend 40 hours per week learning new things and working on Software projects. I enjoy honing my Ruby and problem solving skills in exercism.io, I’m constantly taking courses on Learnable and Udemy, and I’m always in the middle of a Software book. In June 2014, I attended the wonderful Red Dot Ruby Conference in Singapore, and I participated in the Rails Rumble with my husband in October 2014. I’ve focused on two main projects this year: •Review Yeti Review Yeti is a web-based Rails App that collects and analyzes iOS app reviews and Ranking from the App Store. It was initially conceived as a tool to track App Velocity up and down the ranking charts in support of my husband’s App business. During Phase 2, I added the ability to “follow” apps so users could view and filter reviews from iTunes stores in multiple Countries. Review Yeti is hosted on Digital Ocean. While working on this project, I utilized Ruby 2, Rails 4, PostgreSQL, Unicorn, Sidekiq, Sidetiq, Upstart, Bootstrap, and New Relic. It currently is set up to use Hpricot as an XML parser, but I’m hoping to move over to Nokogiri soon. •Pomatillo I’ve long been a huge fan of the Pomodoro Technique, a work method that alternates timed, uninterrupted work segments with timed breaks. Pomatillo is a web-based Rails App that can track and manage users’ work segments. My husband and I formed a 2-person team for the Rails Rumble in October 2014 to build this project, and we continue to use it daily to maximize our productivity. We decided to keep things simple for Pomodoro, and simply used Ruby 2.0, Rails 4, Bootstrap, PostgreSQL, and a whole lot of JavaScript and jQuery. Show less

• Autopilot Control Law Engineer

  • Jan 2012 - Apr 2014

  I owned all aspects of three 787 Autopilot Control Laws. In this role, I performed stability and performance analysis to make sure all requirements and regulations were met, wrote and published documents for FAA Certification, and worked directly with the Autopilot Supplier.•As control laws on newer and better airplanes become more sophisticated, they also become more difficult to evaluate with legacy stability analysis techniques. I led a team in expanding an experimental stability analysis technique for evaluating nonlinear control laws. This was the first time this new technique was used to drive real changes in Flight Controls software on a Boeing airplane.•I worked with Flight Test engineers to develop a new set of data monitoring tools for use during Autopilot Test Flights. These tools significantly decreased workload during Flight Tests and eventually enabled us to send one less Autopilot Engineer on each flight. Show less

• Flight Test Engineer

  • Jan 2010 - Feb 2012

  As a Flight Test Engineering Analysis engineer, my primary role was to write flight test procedures for Boeing Experimental Flight Test airplanes, then fly onboard to monitor data and help conduct the tests. I was part of the Autoflight Test group for over two years, spending most of my time flying on 747-8 test flights and occasionally a 787-8 test flight.The latest 747-8 is outfitted with a new and innovative control law called Outboard Aileron Modal Suppression (OAMS). This control law was designed to dampen a limit cycle oscillation that was discovered during early Flutter testing. I served as the Flight Test Focal for this brand new control law, and wrote the test plans that would be used to show compliance to the FAA's requirements. In my role as OAMS focal, I led control law tutorials for other members of my Flight Test team, collected and processed data after each flight, and wrote a Certification Summary that was delivered to the FAA.•I was also the focal for the 747-8 Modularized Avionics and Warning Electronics Assembly (MAWEA) module, the Runway Awareness and Advisory System, and the Enhanced Ground Proximity Warning System.•I traveled extensively during my tenure with Flight Test, visiting places like Mexico City, Iceland, Montana and Southern California. The longest flight test I supported was in the air for over 18 hours. Show less

• Guidance, Navigation and Control Engineer

  • Apr 2009 - Jan 2010

  I worked in the Lateral Control Electronics (LCE) group within 747-8 Flight Controls. The LCE is new on this update to Boeing's 747 airplane, and allows the outboard Ailerons and Spoilers to be controlled via Fly-by-Wire actuators instead of mechanical ones.Much of my time on the team was spent in the lab performing testing on the actual LCE hardware and software. I wrote test procedures, conducted the tests, and used the results to request logic changes from the LCE Supplier and to meet Certification requirements from the FAA. During my time on the team, I was able to cut the lab time needed for regression testing by half by building a system to automate the regression test suite. Show less
