Team Introductions

[MauriceReeves-usds]

Hey ReportStream team members, please take a moment to introduce yourself below, what your area of responsibility is on the team, what's your area of expertise, and how people can get in touch with you.

[MauriceReeves-usds]

My name is Maurice Reeves, I'm an engineer with USDS working on the ReportStream project. I'm primarily working on onboarding and maintaining the connections with the states and the counties, which means that I not only build the engineering logic around connecting to states, but I'm also involved in doing customer service with them, answering emails, investing any problems if they arise, etc.

I currently live near Harrisburg, PA.

The best way to reach me is to ping me on here, or on Slack, or send me an email: [email protected]

[RickHawesUSDS]

Hi, my name is Rick Hawes. I'm the project lead for ReportStream and one of the engineers on the project. I was also part of the original PRIME sprint team. I've contributed to most of the ReportStream's workstreams.

Five facts about me:

• I live in Googleville CA which is in the Pacific time zone
• I try to keep Eastern time zone hours, getting into work around 9:30 ET
• I used to work at the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid on the Blue Button project
• Before joining USDS, I worked a couple of very large tech firms, the last one being Yahoo, where I was a VP of engineering.
• I'm a big fan of the local sports teams, having season tickets to the Warriors and the 49ers.

The best way to reach me is Slack or [email protected].

[mry-usds]

Hi, my name is Matt Young and I'm a USDS engineer working on the ReportStream project. Primarily, I work the front end, but still operate as a full-stack engineer playing around with the APIs and backend.

I live in Tucson, AZ which puts me in my own little time zone since we don't observe DST - right now I'm on Pacific time - but will switch back to Mountain time during the winter.

You can best reach me on Slack or via email at [email protected].

[td-usds]

Hi, my name is Thomas. I’m working on the DevOps side of things for the PRIME project, which includes both ReportStream and SimpleReport.

I'm based out of DC and maintain ET hours (but we all know UTC is the one that really matters :) ). Slack is the best way to get a hold of me. You can also e-mail me at <not_yet_provisioned>@cdc.gov (no e-mail yet since I'm currently still in the process of getting onboarded).

[drew-usds]

Hey I'm Drew and I forgot to do this last month! I'm co-leading design across the ReportStream teams with @celestemespinoza, and am focusing on UI/UX and any/all user-facing aspects of the project.

I'm in DC and keep ET hours, but does anybody really know what time it is?

Reach me on Slack or by email at qop4 ((at)) cdc.gov.
