  Oct, 2019 - Mar, 20205 months

  Automated a large portion of the accounting through Quickbooks as to the specifications set by the accounting department. Additionally estimated and communicated needed time for desired features.

  • Created a Ruby Gem for integrating into an existing Rails application.

  • Created an interface for automating entry of an existing database into Quickbooks.

Projects Experience

• cookiecutter-robust-python

  - Present

  An open-source Cookiecutter template for Python projects emphasizing best practices and long-term adaptability. Provides out-of-the-box CI/CD for GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket; cross-platform testing across all supported Python versions; and a modern toolchain (uv, nox, ruff, basedpyright, commitizen) designed to evolve as the ecosystem changes. Supports optional Rust integration via maturin and uses cruft for seamless template updates.

  • Designed for adaptability — major tooling transitions (e.g. pure Python to maturin/Rust) can be made without breaking CI/CD or docs

  • Full CI/CD coverage for GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket with automated integration-testing via live demo repositories showing each version

  • Toolchain includes uv, nox, ruff, basedpyright, commitizen, and pip-audit for a security-aware, modern development workflow

• pytest-static

  - Present

  A published PyPI pytest plugin that automates parametric test generation from Python type annotations. Allows developers to annotate test parameters with types (including generics like tuple[bool, bool]) and have pytest automatically expand them into exhaustive or representative test cases, reducing boilerplate for statically-typed codebases.

  • Published on PyPI with 12 releases; installable via pip install pytest-static

  • Leverages Python's type system to auto-generate test parameter sets, including edge-case coverage for unbounded types like int and str

  • Extensible via type_handlers.register decorator, allowing custom type resolution strategies
