Portfolio

Website I made for a local Baltimore architectural salvage location (my dad’s!)

I wrote a post with more in-depth details here: https://www.linkedin.com/posts/maxstruever_building-a-site-for-industrial-architectural-activity-7265695266157060096-k8L4?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_desktop

Working with a logistics company to help bring their orders and data to a visible and eventually externally sharable web app (with plans for a mobile app!) Part of the project was to build a data platform, to bring the data in from the disparate sources into one data model. Next was to build an app, with integrated Google Maps api, to bring that data to life. This also included a custom administration page to grant users access to the correct customer data.

We built a Data Platform for Customer 360 tracking for a manufacturer in the retail space. We used the new (at the time) Azure Synapse to do our data pipelines and orchestration, as well as pyspark transformations; it did the work of Azure Data Factory and Databricks combined!

Web app for tracking NFTs that are available, as well as what's been purchased. React Typescript Material UI used on front end. Backend TBD

I had an old iPad that couldn't receive any iOS updates and thus couldn't run any iOS apps anymore. It broke my heart to think about just throwing it out, so I set it up with a power cord and holder in my home to be an always-on screen with helpful information based on the time of day. This includes local weather, my groceries list, and train departure times from the nearest subways using the MTA API

Helped a client in the insurance industry create a new Cloud-based platform for serving data to a new suite of UI Apps. Architected and designed a scalable digital data and application layer that can modernize the client's stack and allow them to get apps out quicker. Enabled engineering teams for developing UI apps with React, teaching best practices for development in Typescript, and working with GraphQL. We used Hasura as our API layer which GREATLY accelerated the whole project's development as we were able to access our PostgreSQL data almost immediately from our client UI.

Developed a Digital Data Platform on the Azure Cloud for a client in the Animal Care industry. Worked with Data Engineering team to configure Azure resources to set up data ETL (Extract, Transfer, Load) pipelines to bring data in from client's various online sources into one accessible and scalable location. We used Delta Lake format for data on our data lake, as well as Hive external metastore for getting SQL-Table-like access to our data lake data. This enabled a separate team of Data Scientists to easily perform analytics with PySpark in Databricks

I've also done a similar such project for a chain restaurant client

A full stack web app development for a client, using React with Typescript, Apollo Client, and Material UI. Backend was a custom developed Apollo GraphQL Server in NodeJS (Typescript), connecting to a MongoDB Database, AWS Cognito Auth service, as well as other REST API data sources. We also worked with a company, UCView, and their APIs to set up automated display updates to screens in a building lobby. This was a fun, straight-forward app for a client in commercial real estate, helping building owners donate to causes that are important to the tenants.

(the name comes from Data Quality -> DQ -> Dancing Queen) Dancing Queen is a tool I developed for a client project to help us with data quality testing. Our data scientists needed a way to know the status of the tables / pipelines that the data engineering team was providing. It uses Azure Data Factory to set up the tests and automatically schedule and run them. The tests run on Databricks and send results to a SQL server. I developed a Tableau dashboard to display the test results and give an overall status of all the tables, as well as show the test history of a given table.

Little app I did for a code assignment that creates some API endpoints. I think the Twilio connection is broken now. It uses NodeJS, ExpressJS, works with SQLite as a db, and AnuglarJS front-end Also uses Google Maps API Uses Glitch.com to get up and running and hosted quickly

I made this little portfolio site in AngularJS and using Material Design. It actually uses a Trello board, https://trello.com/b/bgLwimyQ/maxs-online-portfolio as the backend for my portfolio and gets everything using the simple Trello API

Playing around with the super-easy Glitch.com setup, tried making a tongue-in-cheek name generator for today's craft beers. Uses a tiny bit of ExpressJS in Node

Single page app developed for an Oil & Gas customer (sensitive and client-specific information redacted)

I built the backend using OSIsoft AF Analytics and Event frames to constantly monitor all the PI interfaces, as well as server health, and fire alerts when issues arise. This has significantly improved the responsiveness in support we provide for the PI system.

It also includes a PI tag value search, with color coded timestamps based on the staleness of the data. This is integral to the troubleshooting workflow, allowing you to instantly look up tag values and see how recent they received new data from their interface.

It is an AngularJS UI and implements the OSIsoft PI Web API

Website I developed (design by my friend Alexa Kaminsky) using AngularJS with Google Maps API, Untappd API, and Facebook API integrations

The airport in Amsterdam, Schiphol, announced that they were making an API publicly available. I didn't know what to do with it, but I was excited, so I made this just to test it out.

Uses AngularJS and the Schiphol API from https://developer.schiphol.nl/

Developed website for local Baltimore business (design by my friend Alexa Kaminsky) Simple one page site with Facebook API integrations

Small windows form app with .NET C# to help with reprocessing some data files that needed to go into an OSIsoft PI system. It implemented the PISDK to read .csv files and quickly get data into the PI historian after a migration.

This was one of my biggest software development undertakings.

One of my contracts at Wipro was for the major national oil & gas company in Milan, Italy. I was developing the component called Exception Based Surveillance that was part of a huge custom solution offering by my company. My component had to interact from a SQL database that was populated by the interface with rules of thresholds and alerts, and, using the PISDK and AFSDK, read PI tag values to compare them to the thresholds. It would then trigger alerts to be sent on to the interface.

All development was in .NET C#, it was set up as an always-on Windows service. We also played with creating custom Data Reference plugins for OSIsoft's PI System Explorer. I even got to travel to Noida, India and meet with our testing team to help with the integration and setup. We did NUnit unit testing and used Visual Studio Team Foundation Server for code repository.

You found it! my first website ever. Give me a break; it's a relic from my college days, untouched since ~2009

The idea of the site was to, based on the weather, tell you what clothing to wear that day (complete with daily email alerts!). And for an upcoming vacation, it would tell you what to pack based on the weather and how many days you were going to be there.

Note the beautiful design work, all by yours truly. I did it mostly in PHP and MySQL

It has since fallen into disrepair with the weather providers it used no longer offering free API access. A couple of times I've meant to update it but that never happened

My friends and I were trying to get a kickball league going in Amsterdam. Figured we'd need a website, so I made this quick and dirty one using the classic Bootstrap Creative template.

This simple (5-star rated!) extension for the Chrome browser copies the shruggie character to your clipboard so you can paste it anywhere Copy and paste Shruggie app Copies the Shruggie characters to your clipboard to paste anywhere. ¯_(ツ)_/¯ That's it!

A first & small attempt at using Trello's custom power-ups for developers. I implemented Zillow's API for housing prices in the US, thinking it could potentially be helpful for people using Trello to track their house hunt. It's pretty cool! Definitely would like to do more Trello power-ups in the future because I think it's a great easy way to customize Trello. It can make Trello even more helpful for your specific needs

Playing with some cool CSS animations I found for making a neon sign effect

Some users at a client site needed to get their PI data into MATLAB for more advanced analysis than Excel can provide, so I set up these code snippets for them.

It uses the OSIsoft AFSDK for getting PI data, and is written for MATLAB using the .NET interoperability.
