Apart from the web app that linked your bank accounts and credit cards together, I led our online classes project: interactive courses about budgeting, investing, and more, built on the Wistia API.

01Open Source
During this project I dove into open source, becoming a main contributor to Ember.js and Ember Data, and the maintainer of ember-cli-flash, a package that was being downloaded 50,000 times a week at the time. The Wistia work became ember-wistia, an addon I still own.
“Scott is a very thoughtful and deliberate programmer. He writes extensive and meaningful tests, making sure to account for various scenarios. I had the good fortune to pair with Scott on multiple projects in both Ember and Elixir. He was a great teacher as I was learning Ember and was always able to give me a detailed answer and explain things clearly. He's one of the best people with whom I've had the good fortune to work.”
