Zach Olivare

I worked on developing the user interface, defining the architecture, and implementing the cloud communications for Johnson Controls' first smart thermostat. It was built in UWP on a Windows IoT core device.

I developed the front end of a nurse management system for Eversana that allows coordinators to search for and manipulate nurse records through a variety of user friendly mechanisms, including a custom Google Maps integration. It was built from the ground up with React, Typescript, Redux, Webpack and Babel.

I co-led the development of a corporate design system for Johnson Controls. It was written in vanilla JavaScript for maximum adoptability throughout the company, and we created wrappers for React and Angular to simplify the API for common use cases.

I lead the development of the Bright Cellars design system, as well as a complete re-write of their customer facing website into Next.js. I also contributed to their internal data collection efforts and support tools.

At Skyslope I'm working as part of our Innovation Team, focused on rapid creation of proof-of-concept efforts to vet business ideas.

I've done a considerable amount of open source work over the years. I have contributed to notable libraries including Google's Material Design components, Microsoft's C# Azure IoT SDK, and Vercel's Next.js. Additionally, I've published a monorepo management tool, Unorepo as well as gremlin-cosmos, a wrapper for the Gremlin graph DB query language.
