I am Will Streeter an independent freelance full-stack web developer. After 19 years of working with several start-ups and large organizations, I decided to start Tasty Makers Studio, to offer my rich set of skills and experiences as a web architect to organizations developing new web based products.

While my formal education in Software Engineering concentrated on large scale Java enterprise web applications, my career, for the most part, has focused on frontend and backend development with JavaScript. Possessing the versatility to work both the front-end and back-end has been essential in successfully forging a career as a full-stack User Interface Architect. I create intuitively structured applications which enable less development time between refactors, provide greater capacity for scaling , easily accommodate new features, and reduce the time needed to onboard new team members.

Philip Carlson - Principal Engineer and Co-founder of Tasty Maker Studio

My name is Philip Carlson. I am a full-stack engineer with over twenty years of experience developing production quality applications and leading teams that take business ideas from inception to release.

I grew up around a father who was a programmer, so I got into coding very early. At age 13, however, I started playing guitar, and so my engineering career didn't actually start until after music school, where my dreams of being a rock star met up with reality. My route into engineering came through a business degree that focused on on information systems. This allows a perspective that is firmly rooted in not just how technology works, but how it can work to increase the value of a company. With an eye for design, I envision and produce well thought-out, efficient and stylish solutions that always keep a focus on how they are helping to reach a business's goals.

React Micro Frontend Architecture with Webpack 5 Module Federation

The interesting challenge to this project was to develop a development scenario in which the current code could incrementally be refactor; basically to fly the plane while, rebuilding it ! The image depicts a "high level view" of the micro-frontend foundation. The React based "mfd-shell" is the micro-frontend container to which all remotes will be dynamically loaded. The remote micro-app, "mfd-common", directly consumed by "mfd-shell" serves as a common resource of the component library, translations services, and other utilities such AJax and Remote Data State services to be share across all of the remote micro-apps dynamically loaded based on route request. The "mfd-core" is remote micro-app containing the original application, an amalgamation of Vue, vanilla JavaScript and TypeScript, which is gradually deconstructed with each new React based micro-app

The components in the Dashboard are from a component library, constructed with Chakra-UI. Remote data is fetched and maintained through a Tanner Stack Query, implementation, which was imported from the "mfd-common.

Web-delivered Collaborative Mind Mapping Application

Mindjet MindManager, a pioneer of mind mapping applications for both Windows and Mac was interested in releasing a web-delivered version of their flagship product. After initial work by an outside company, the product development was shifted to an in-house team that I came to lead. MindManager allows for creation of documents that can represent almost any heirachical data structure. With features that allowed for complex data filtering, cloud document storage, real-time collaborative viewing and editing, and a rich set of visualizations, MindManager was rich in functionality. The web-delivered version of course started out with a much smaller set of features, with further feature parity coming with time. The Flex technology was chosen because it allowed for an experience much closer to the desktop version than any other web technology at the time could provide. The product also required integration with a CMS for document storage, a database for user management, and a web service for document sharing and collaboration.

A Next.js site implementing a Shopify Drop-Shipping Store

Abodephile is an ecommerce store that specializes in a curated set of furniture. Abodephile is also a showcase of the Tasty Maker Studio Commerce as a Service (CaaS) framework. The site is built with Next.js, and uses the Shopify Storefront API to provide a rich shopping experience. The Abodephile storefront is hosted on Vercel, and uses a combination of Static Site Generation, Server Side Rendering, and Client Side Rendering to provide a fast and responsive experience. The application makes use of the Vercel Edge Network to provide a CDN for the images and other static assets. The other aspect of our framework that Abodephile makes use of is a custom collection of reusable components that allow a storefront to be built quickly and easily. The components are built upon Ark-UI, and are designed to be easily customizable to fit the needs of any storefront. Our component library implements a tokenized design system that allows for easy theming, and provides for extensibility, allowing for the creation of new components that build upon existing ones as needed.

Frontend Architect

2020-2023

I was hired to help Cloudbeds refactor their existing frontend, which consisted of vanilla Javascript, TypeScript, Vue, Jquery,into a modern framework that would help them scale their product offerings and quicken the pace of both development as well as on-boarding new developers. These had to be accomplished using and maintaining the existing product and codebase. After careful deliberation and experimentation, I was able to devise a plan to matriculate the existing code based into the latest version of React, using a micro frontend architecture, using WebPack 5 Module federation. Once I had a working prototype, I began to evangelize the benefits of the approach and began assembling group of developers to help me implement the plan, while also helping to hire a cohort of seasoned React developers. In the spring of 2022, we successfully launched the foundation of the micro frontend platform, which continues to expand and scale at pace.

Rather than move to Los Angeles with BiteSizeTV, I decided to work on a self-enrichment product called NocSonic. With the release of HTML 5, the ability to record audio in browsers arrived as well.Using the new WebRTC api, I created hybrid (desktop and mobile) browser application, enabling a user to record their voice over a looping track, merge the audio tracks to a single file for uploading to AWS S3 bucket. AngularJS and Bootstrap with SASS were used to build the front-end client application and NodeJS to support the back-end web api service. Redis was used for session management and to handle the ranking of user’s contributions, while MongoDB was used to store all other data. Socket.io was used to push current scoreboard results users participating with in the same genres. A continuous integration pipeline from github to AWS with CodeShip was initially implemented, eventually moving to the Google Cloud Platform.

Over the 8 years I spent with this start-up, I became immersed in cutting edge front-end application development. Initially hired to build distributable media players in JavaScript and ActionScript,I eventually accepted the role of principal front-end engineer, leading the re-architecture of the site to Single Page Application (SPA) using the CanJS framework, Bootstrap and JQueryto construct a platform for pervasive playback of our video content. Uninterrupted video playback provided users the ability to explore the content on various networks, while providing affordance of greater advertising revenue for the company. I also contributed to development of backend services written in PHP and NodeJs, utilizing MySQL( MariaDB), and the newly emerging cloud infrastructure of Amazon Web Services.

2003-2006

After completing a Master's in software engineering, my career began at at startup developing a hybrid application used on desktop browsers and mobile tablets,enabling engineers in the field to share remote real-time documentation with stake-holders. As a general engineer focused on the front-end, I contributed to the development set of instruments written in JavaScript and ActionScript to generator forms and to enable PDFs of blueprints to be downloaded, marked up and versioned. While a majority of my time was spent developing code for the front-end client, I inevitably spent a great deal of time developing back-end functionality as well, creating remote API services in Java and PHP and assembling new structures in the Postgres database.
