Check Out My Portfolio

A "portfolio" hasn't been necessary nor requested for most of my career, but it feels like more and more I'm seeing places that prioritize candidates with a visible, public portfolio of work or ask explicitly for snippets of recent production code to demonstrate recent professional output.

I put a lot of my time and effort into whatever job I'm performing, and so usually I don't have a lot of work that ends up publicly visible. And since most of my work is on backend systems, I can't even usually point to a web page or something to say "I did that". Many times you have to sign up or otherwise interact with a service in significant ways to see the impact of my work, so it's also not necessarily something you could experience in a short period of time.

But for the sake of showing off a small percentage of my professional output, I have set myself to work at creating a publicly available portfolio of pseudo-example code. I say "pseudo-example" because I'm trimming down the code considerably to avoid leaking sensitive details or business logic or any artifacts of my output that could be considered unique to the job I performed my services at.

So while not a perfect 1-to-1 representation of what I produce, I think it's still a reasonable peek at what I do. I'll try to keep it updated as I do new works that show off relevant skills or problem solving abilities or just to highlight interesting solutions. You can view it here on my GitHub. Enjoy!
