Patrick's Background


2017 — Present
Full Stack Web App Engineer

I picked up Database Design (SQL), Data Engineering (R Language), & Statistical Predictive Modeling (R Language) skills in Grad School.

Soon after I was given the opportunity to work on a Marketo/LiveChat Enterprise Data Integration project at Pulse Secure (NodeJS) in San Jose, CA.

After Pulse Secure, I kept working with NodeJS and picked up ReactJS skills, and published a Full Stack App Prototype (TimeTracker-- for workforce management & map-location dispatching), leading to a role as a Consulting Engineer with Etumos, where my clients included Amazon Alexa, NGINX, And healthcare & financial companies, for whom I worked on Full Stack Apps & ETL projects.

2010 — 2017
Work: Digital Marketing
Self-taught: Web App Development
Formal Study: Accounting & CIS

After graduating UT Austin, I used the communication campaign management skills I built during our legislative campaign to transition into a Marketing career. I managed marketing campaigns for various advertising agencies' clients, part time (evenings/weekends). And worked in Digital Marketing full time for companies such asSolarWindsand BridgeTower Media.

While working in Marketing, I realized the importance and value of Web Application development skills and began building my skills in that direction.

Taking an interest in learning the financial underpinnings of business management, I studied Accounting and CIS formally at Texas State University.

2008 — 2010
Co-founded ReEnergize Texas & Passed Legislation at 81st Texas Legislature

While an undergraduate at UT Austin, A group of about 8 friends and I co-founded a non-profit called ReEnergize Texas. As Legislative Director, I planned the campaign which led to our activation of about two hundred student environmental activists, who then promulgated our activism to a wider audience of thousands of students across Texas, who demanded congressional support for our legislation.

As a result of our initiative, we persuaded Legislators to pass our legislation [HB 3353]  [SB 2182] : Allow students to vote to increase tuition at public Texas universities & colleges, which is then allocated to student environmental & natural resource research projects.

As of 2021, this initative has led to approximately $30+ million cumulatively across over a dozen Public and Private Texas Universities, and approximately $5 millionat UT Austin alone. [See UT Austin project examples]

Services

What can I do for you?

Consulting on IT & Business Systems

I work with with executives to develop IT Solutions for their business strategies such as Custom application development, and Data integration across multiple enterprise applications & databases.

Customized Application Design & Development

I take applications from idea through execution via requirements gathering, use case planning & diagramming, and development from the ground up. Typically I build apps and services using tools such as: Node.js, ExpressJS, SQL/NoSQL database servers, Cloud providers, Infrastructure as Code frameworks, NGINX, and Linux.

User Interface Design & Development

Though I tend to stick more to Server-side development, I am happy to Design & Develop User Interfaces via CSS Frameworks, ReactJS (currently my favorite frontend javascript framework), and React Native (currently learning— to publish applications on Apple & Android mobile devices).

Back End Web Development

I develop Back End applications & services using Node.js, Various flavors of SQL/NoSQL databases, and DevOps (Cloud, Linux, Docker, etc). I'd like to get more into Python for Data Engineering & Machine Learning-- Previously I've used the R language for Data Engineering & Predictive Statistical Modeling.

Database Design and Application Integration

I have studied Database Management & Design formally. And I greatly appreciate structured databases given that they're typically more easily analyzed than less structured databases. That said, sometimes NoSQL databases are the appropriate solution— such as when database schema is still being determined, or when data simply needs to be open-ended in terms of structure. In either case, I integrate databases into applications as CRUD operations, facilitated by raw database operations, as well as tools such as query-builders & object relational mappers.
