About Jake Durell

I first began my career in operations management and information systems. I then went on to law school seeking to understand and influence the constraints that shape solutions to world problems. As a lawyer, I drew from my technical background to help implement innovative contracting, compliance and litigation solutions. I enrolled in Burlington Code Academy to broaden my skills as a developer. Shortly thereafter, I began working as an enterprise architect in the Chief Technology Office for State of Vermont at the recently formed Agency of Digital Services. I am also a tech lead with Code for BTV, and I continue to provide representation in low and prono bono projects.



I am always looking for opportunities that will embrace my development skills while leveraging my legal and business education and experience. I am gaining more experience in full stack development each day. Javascript is my core language. I have been enjoying using the Vue framework on several projects. I am also skilled in a range of Microsoft Azure products which I used to bring legacy and modern systems together. I have been leveraging DevOps to manage these projects and their codebases. I am comfortable with a range of various project management and reporting tools, including GitHub, Trello, Visio, Sketch, Tableau, and Power BI. In addition, I have demonstrated experience in organizational and government administration, process management, database development, information systems, governance, and agile project management.


PORTFOLIO

Expunge VT

High volume expungement clinics run by Vermont Legal and the VT AG's office Aid faced challneges in quickly gathering criminal record data and producing petitions with that data. By creating a chrome extension that generates printable files in a dynamic vue JS environment at the push of a button, volunteer attorneys can help more people clear their records at clinics or from the office.

ID.vermont.gov

ID.vermont.gov was created to serve as a centralized NIST compliant identity proofing tool available for use by any Vermont State agency. Participating applications can be quickly configured to redirect Okta users to id.vermont.gov to complete a self service identity proofing process or request a remote supervised process. ID.vermont.gov is built on Django using Azure services for the dev pipeline and back end. The service is expected to launch during late 2023.
