Domino’s Pizza LLC, Ann Arbor, Michigan September 2020 – Present

https://apps.apple.com/us/app/dominos-pizza-usa/id436491861

https://apps.apple.com/us/app/zero-click/id1093822449 (No longer available on Apple platforms but still downloadable on Android)

Joined Domino’s as an iOS accessibility subject matter expert shortly after the company had lost a lawsuit over the app and website being inaccessible while using screen readers. I worked on a team of about 10 people, including one developer for each platform (iOS, Android, and web), a project manager, and several QA personnel. As the accessibility team, our main task was to address an incredibly long list of accessibility issues that had been identified through a series of audits carried out by Deque, a company that specializes in accessibility auditing and development training. Our secondary task was to develop a list of easily understood and implementable standards and guidelines to be followed by all developers to create more reliably accessible features going forward. After two and a half years, we were ultimately successful in both of the goals. As the sole iOS developer on the accessibility team, fixed over 400 bugs in the app, and wrote the guidelines and best practices on accessible development practices for Domino's, which is being carried forward into the development of a completely new app that is presently being architected. After those two and a half years, the accessibility team was formally dissolved and all members were moved onto the regular development teams in different parts of the company. I worked for a period of approximately half a year after the dissolution of the accessibility team on more typical feature work and non-accessibility-related bug fixes before eventually parting ways with Domino's.

U.S. Bank, Minneapolis, MN March 2019 – September 2020

https://apps.apple.com/us/app/u-s-bank/id458734623

The purpose of this project was to build a new mobile iOS app for U.S. Bank that would move away from using a web-based experience more towards a smoother native iOS experience. At the time of my onboarding, other developers had built the fundamental frameworks and a number of the features for the new app. My task was to build some additional features as catch-up work to get the iOS app up to speed including security features like Reporting a Card Lost or Stolen, Adding an Authorized User, and Requesting a Credit Limit Increase, in line with what was available on the online banking website and mobile web. After this initial task was completed, my job then became to add new features and enhancements to the mobile iOS app that were not available on other platforms, such as integrating PayPal Push Provisioning and a marketing campaign for the new Credit Limit Increase feature.

•Took a leading role in planning features, stories, and team capacity for each quarterly Program Increment

•Worked closely with on-team desktop web, mobile web, Android, .NET, Java, and iOS developers and testers to ensure cross-platform functionality of features

•Refactored and reviewed code from other developers both on and off the team as required to ensure consistency, readability, and efficiency

•Ensured that all new features were built with accessibility in mind and assisted with testing of VoiceOver and Text Resizing accessibility features

•Added and maintained localization files in English and Spanish for all new native-built features and coordinated with external translation teams for Spanish content

•Added unit tests for all non-private methods in the app as a facet of TDD

•Maintained detailed documentation of new functionality through comments within the code, Confluence documents, SharePoint files, and commit descriptions

•Manually migrated many files and verified codebase integrity when DevOps changed the codebase from GitHub Team to GitHub Enterprise

•Performed manual ETM testing at a time when several members of our testing team became sick and injured at once

•Managed merge requests from other team members and created merge requests to monthly release branches, while reviewing and refactoring code as needed

•Created HockeyApp/AppCenter builds for the testing team and assisted with monthly release activities

•Worked with Jenkins for automation testing of submitted code and debugged pipeline failures at times when the Jenkins pipeline was unstable due to bad merges or code migration activities

•Found, escalated, and fixed minor and major defects discovered both during development and in production

•Added 5+ entirely new features to the U.S. Bank mobile iOS app

•Coordinated with an external team to integrate Adobe Analytics tracking of user interactions within the app to provide data on the frequency of use of new features

•Worked under pressure, with strict legal deadlines, and changing business priorities to provide deliverable and well-built features for each quarterly release

•Recognized and commended multiple times by co-workers on the team, project owners, and scrum masters for my dedication to my work and my knack for recognizing risks early and escalating them before they become major issues
