- Investigate the portablity of Local, Tollfree, and Wireless numbers
- Validate Phone Number ownership
- Handles up to 350 Phone Numbers in 20 seconds
When large organizations switch VOIP phone service providers often they bring their existing phone numbers with them. I built this tool that accepts phone numbers in groups of up to a few hundred and investigates each of them to verify that they can be ported to our network. It also shows the user the current ownership of each number so that they can verify and audit the numbers that they are submitting to us before we begin the complex process of bringing them over to our network. Our customers love this tool. 🥰

In support of my brother's company, I wrote a console application that scrapes phone numbers that are available for purchase from a pair of SOAP APIs and a few REST API, and then aggregates them into a locally hosted database.

Initially it received an ‘F’ grade when I ran it through the SecurityHeaders.com benchmark. This wasn’t the result I was looking for. Luckily, the solution is wildly simple.

My primary responsibility at Kitsap County was maintaining the public parcel information system. Parcel Details is a web app that allows anyone to look up a tax parcel in Kitsap County. Parcel Details was originally an ASP.NET 4 WebForms project; In the summer of 2018 I rebuilt Parcel Details as an ASP.NET Core MVC project. What I'm most proud of is getting the average page weight down from 6 MBs to less than 200 KBs.

Plats Search is web app that allows you to look up survey and plat documents related to a tax parcel.
