Projects

Projects I contribute to

Stem Stickers

Web application built using AWS, Golang, GraphQL and Vue which allows users to create custom course profile stickers for endurance sport races

Buttermilk Appreciation Day

Web application built using AWS, Golang, GraphQL and Vue. This is an annual scavenger hunt at Buttermilk Ski Resort where contestants use QR codes to find scavenger items across the ski mountain and compete for most points

Sheetdrop

Web application that allows users to create APIs and schemas and drop excel or csv files to be automatically ingested and available via GraphQL and RestAPI. Future plans are to allow connections to other data stores and relationships between schemas

Dasorm

Golang ORM for modeling your data and interacting with SQL. I built this because available ORMs lack the ability write multiple models efficiently. We have largely replaced this with Gorm in our projects but use functions and concepts from Dasorm to improve performance for mass CRUD operations.

SQL Writer

There's no denying the ubiquity of the Pandas DataFrame in Data Science. It's simple interface and powerful transformations make it a go-to for most machine-learning professionals. The problem comes when a Data Scientist needs to upload their dataframe to a SQL-like database. Traditionally, a Data Base Administrator will have the Data Scientist drop a csv-file in a predetermined location and set up a trigger and process that will absorb the file into a table.

SQLWriter enables a python programmer to seamlessly upload a Pandas DataFrame to several flavors of SQL database with 3 lines of code.
