Hello! My name is Ian.

I'm a Software Engineer based in Portland, Oregon. I recently built Beekeeper. Beekeeper is an open-source Backend as a Service (BaaS) for a virtual wait room. Beekeeper uses Node.js and AWS-SDK to deploy an architecture that intercepts a burst of traffic and diffuses it over time to a sensitive endpoint. Have a look at this case study to learn more. I am always open to opportunities.

More About Me

I am an algorithmic thinker and I like to build things. I find abstract things even more exciting because the possibilities are endless.

I have experience in Ruby, JavaScript and Go but consider myself language agnostic.

Beekeeper

Beekeeper is an open source tool for rapid deployment of a virtual wait room. Beekeeper is a backend as a service (BaaS) designed to handle bursty traffic from one-off events. It provides an easy-to-deploy and ready-to-scale solution for clients serving one off events (such as a sale or promotion) with bursty traffic.

For existing infrastructures, Beekeeper abstracts away the complexity of setting up a virtual wait room. When deployed it provides a URL that can be used as a promotional link to direct user traffic through the Beekeeper infrastructure and then to a specified endpoint at some pre-set rate.
