Passion project that I've been working on. It is still a work in progress but allows me the opportunity to apply neurology research through an AI. In this project we are working on a hiring system that is more UX-centric meaning the developers in the hiring process should actually enjoy the process itself while delivering on key business objectives such as employee success, development, and job performance.
This is needed to power the Pathways-Project repository. We have implemented server-sided rendering (SSR) to improve the user experience and avoid any slowdowns that could be possible as a result of lots of data.

Just a lil somethin
I started working at a Xerox sales agency as an Inside Sales Rep. The accounts I was given to call were almost completely useless: I had zero data on who I was talking to and it also took an extremely long time just to load my next account to call with the companies CRM. I suggested to them that I build this tool that would provide a rep a streamlined source data so that they could both have more effective calls when cold calling and make more. In cold calling it is absolutely critical to have an efficient workflow. It was the difference between 30 calls a day and 100 calls in a day!!! Xerox eventually found out about this and said "dang son" "that's lit, hows about you do that for us and we bring it to all 63 sales agencies across Canada ... I said no ..... way that's awesome!!! Let's build some more features that also helps account managers save gas by planning their route more efficiently and reducing driving time spent just for the sake of finding where large opportunities exist in their territory. Currently working on this as a contract for Xerox in my spare time :):) Check out my behance to see our super rough lo-fi but functionally descriptive designs: https://www.behance.net/spro064040a3
