Work

At Aloompa, I played a key role in developing the powerful content management system that drives the company's industry-leading mobile event apps. This innovative CMS allows clients to easily create dynamic, customized content experiences within their event apps in real-time.

Working on Aloompa's cutting-edge CMS allowed me to solve complex product challenges and architect innovative content solutions that elevate the event experience for clients and their attendees.

To streamline a previously tedious manual process, I built a powerful self-service mapping solution that put the ability to create rich, customized map overlays directly in the hands of clients and product managers. Utilizing AWS EC2 and the MapTiler Engine, I developed a server that seamlessly generates map tiles based on user inputs through Aloompa's content management system.

This user-driven map overlay system saved product managers countless hours previously spent manually updating maps. More importantly, it empowered event organizers to deliver rich, user-friendly mapping experiences that helped attendees maximize engagement and get the most value from their events in real-time.

As the sole engineer leading the development of Aloompa's web embed product for over a year, I spearheaded a complete refactoring of the codebase and implemented numerous feature enhancements. This product played a pivotal role in enabling large-scale events like Coachella to seamlessly integrate and display their event lineups, schedules, and performer information directly on their websites.

Developed as my capstone project after just three months of intensive training at Nashville Software School, Bash is a versatile and intuitive browser-based drum machine modeled after classic analog drum machines. Built using React and leveraging the Web Audio API for stable playback, Bash offers a seamless and immersive experience for musicians and beat-makers alike.

About

Hello! I'm Devin, a software engineer and musician. I have 11 years of experience in the music instrument retail industry, where I've worked as both a retail associate and manager. During the challenging times of the 2020 pandemic, I found myself furloughed for six months. It was during this hiatus that I made a life-changing decision to teach myself how to code. In early 2021, I embarked on a transformative journey by enrolling in a six-month full-time web development program at Nashville Software School. My dedication paid off as I secured my first web development job just one week before graduating, making me the first person in my cohort to land a job.

Now, as a web developer, I'm blending my passion for technology with the skills and work ethic honed during my time in the music industry, creating beautiful digital experiences and solutions that resonate with users and clients alike.

When I was 13 years old, my relationship with music transformed. I went from a passive listener to an active participant. My brother and I started a rock band, him on guitar and me on drums. Listening back, we were obvectively bad, but that didn't stop us from honing our craft. After 20+ years, I have played hundreds of shows, recorded dozens of records, and have even produced, mixed and mastered albums for other artists. I am currently playing drums for modern rock band, False Indigo.

Another cornerstone of my experience during the pandemic was falling back in love with reading. Once it was safe to visit, I would take trips to the local used book store in hopes of filling my bookshelf with the growing list of titles I wanted to read. Overwhelmingly, the genre I gravitated toward was sci-fi, but I read some of the classics, such as The Count of Monte Cristo and 1984, as well. I continue to fill my shelf to this day and I even have a dream of writing my own novel.
