SilverVue

Full-Stack & DevOps Engineer

2016 — 2018

Node.jsReact NativeAWS LambdaTerraform

tl;dr

  • [1]Modernized a healthcare services portal end-to-end on Node.js + MongoDB with TDD throughout.
  • [2]Shipped a React Native mobile app with offline data synchronization and Redux state management.
  • [3]Stood up Terraform-based AWS infrastructure and a Node.js deployment chatbot to clean up the team’s ops loop.

Context

SilverVue is a Salt Lake City-area company building care-coordination tools for the post-acute healthcare market. I joined as a full-stack engineer in 2016 and rotated into a DevOps engineer role for the last quarter before heading back to Goal Zero.

What I built

The work split cleanly into three pieces:

  • Modernized a services portal off MeteorJS onto a Node.js + MongoDB backend with React on the front end, all under TDD.
  • Shipped a React Native mobile app with offline-first data sync and Redux state management.
  • Migrated key workloads onto AWS Lambda microservices and stood up Terraform IaC for AWS resources, plus a Node.js Slack chatbot for deployment status and operational visibility.

Outcomes

A faster, safer deploy loop; a healthcare portal that no longer ran on a deprecated framework; and a mobile app that worked the way clinical-field users actually used it — offline-first.
