EMPLOYMENT
May 2016 to Current VOICES Web Developer
Remote / New York, NY
Voices helps advocacy groups change the way group members take action. Enabling people to call, tweet, or email their elected officials together in a coordinated action is a more effective way to lobby government.
I was brought on the team to help build an admin dashboard that advocacy groups can use to compose calls to actions that are scheduled and delivered to the mobile applications of the devices of their followers. I re-designed the entire UX/UI, using material design, through an iterative process with the CEO. I then converted the approved designs to pixel perfect HTML and CSS, and connected it to the Rails Back-End. I have written routing logic on the back end to fulfill UX design, mailers and jobs that are processed asynchronously using Sidekiq, and custom authentication logic using Devise. I wrote all the feature tests in the Gherkin Syntax for the application using Capybara and Rspec . I also deploy builds to our staging and production environments on heroku. Features I have implemented include: User Authentication and Session Management, Advocacy Group Onboarding feature, Composition and Management of Call To Actions, and others.

Once a week, I was invited to join the team for a weekly discussion of industry best practices. The talks covered topics such as Google Analytics, managing relationships between different departments (i.e. design, development, strategy, etc.), and how to build content that would help increase the amount of users that visit your website. Finally, as part of my final project, I developed an application using Ruby on Rails to keep track of the social feeds for the agency's clients.
