About Me

I'm Joe Smith (yes I promise), a Senior Full-Stack Developer and Founder of Oathtrack, a mobile and web app for Recovery House Management. If you have a project that needs some technical inspiration and development then that's where I come in!

It all started out with my first side project in 2011 when I built a social media-esque platform, hopswap.me, for the home brewing community. My brother had started brewing beer and honey wine, and was the mind behind the idea. With our innovative platform, we grew to 100+ users in two months from San Francisco to Denver, and all the way down to Miami. This project is what got the fire going in my soul to learn more and to become a full-stack developer.

In 2013 I graduated from Penn State University with honors, getting my bachelors degree in Information Science and Technology and my minor in Security Risk Analysis. Since then I have become HIPAA certified and worked as a Health IT Developer, securely aggregating and managing tens of millions of patient records, and created software used by clients to produce customizable and actionable reports.

In September of 2016 I started developing and building Oathtrack from the ground up with plans to launch by the new year, just 4 months away. I met that goal with a couple weeks to spare and launched the beta version mobile apps in mid-December! After securing some private beta users and improving the mobile apps, I began building the Oathtrack web app and launched by the end of February 2017. This is a project I deeply care about as well as a roller coaster journey, but the experience has been well worth it.
