About Sally

I've spent my career working on software teams. As a cryptographic analyst, automated test engineer, and scrum master, I saw the software development lifecyle from a variety of angles. Now, I'm applying the lessons I've learned to be a user-focused, detail-oriented developer.

I love turning human pain points into software solutions. I'm looking for an opportunity to solve problems with an open-minded, growth-oriented team.

Work

3D Printer status Jacket

This jacket has 40 neopixels sewn to the back to display the status of the 40 3D Printers in Duke’s Innovation Co-Lab Studio. Each light corresponds to one printer and is either blue (in use), green (available), or red (offline) to show the real-time status of the printer. The printer status is retrieved via Duke’s Innovation Co-Lab’s 3D printer status API, documented here: http://apidocs.colab.duke.edu/.
