  FindingFive

  Jul 2017 - now

  I work with other volunteers to expand the FindingFive study grammar with new features, as well as refactor and streamline existing code. I work principally in Python, but do full-stack work including JavaScript and other languages as needed. Notable contributions include implementing participant groups (study conditions) and integrating them with conditional branching logic for response- and context-dependent study designs as well as improving the consistency and efficiency of study parsing strategies and error handling.In addition to software development I have also been involved in researcher support, content development (documentation, tutorials, trainings) and goal-setting for the organization.
