Garrett Allen
Full Stack Software Engineer
About Me
I am a full stack software engineer who has been programming since my first class in symbolic logic as an undergraduate in Lincoln, Nebraska. I leverage a full range of web technologies to build powerful, elegant web applications. I use my passion for data and data management to design durable integrations with third party APIs.
Experience
- I currently work as an application developer at Dev Technology Group. I write code in PHP and use Drupal to build and manage public facing websites for the government.
- I freelance at Congruity Works, a development agency that works with non-profit media organizations like KCRW and the Global Sisters Report. We specialize in using Drupal both as a website builder and also as a connection layer between third party APIs (Salesforce, Mailchimp, Stripe, etc.), as we help our clients grow their membership ecosystems. I recently rebuilt the Congruity Works website.
- I worked on the open source product Docketeer, an extension and data visulizer for Docker built with React/Redux in TypeScript with a Node.js backend. I built a snazzy D3 graph, and (along with my team) was responsible for implementing networking functionality (which DockerDesktop lacks). The GitHub respository for the project has over 750 stars.
- I volunteer as a developer with Climate Collective. We are building a platform for connecting environmentalists by publishing a weekly, curated list of climate events in your city. Beginning in Los Angeles, we are in the process of scaling the app to serve the environmental activists in cities across the US.
- I am an AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner.
- This past summer I gave a tech talk on web servers to a group of developers.
- In my freetime, I enjoy chess, swimming, and birdwatching.
