Senior Front-End Developer (October 18, 2019 – February 2, 2022) Accomplishments:

During my time at Tongal I introduced the team to a number of best practices with React.js. I was able to design a way of creating a higher order component using a react hook solution which allowed us to keep our components composed of the "container/presenter" pattern. This pattern allowed us to more effectively achieve a separation of concerns for the front- end components and the services they implemented. I was also able to introduce the team to Agile Development concepts.

The concepts included sprint planning, sprint grooming as well as sprint and project retrospectives. I was able to improve the development life-cycle with these concepts and provide more visibility into the overall progress of feature development. I also enjoyed sharing knowledge with the team via presentations where I would demo a Proof of Concept for potentially useful tech. Additionally, I was able to write some bash scripts to automate some of our file conversion tasks as well as a few migrations scripts for use with My responsibilities included:

Working along side Product managers to transform requirements into technical documents from which the team could parse into features for even further task breakdown. Understanding our application system from end to end including the deployment process. Being able to effectively describe and faithfully execute our software development life-cycle from start to finish. Implement analytics functionality for all relevant UI components in an effort to measure performance.

Creating new, React.js components and services used to display user data obtained from GraphQL endpoints. These endpoints were built using SpringBoot with a mix of Java and Kotlin. The React components are built using TypeScript as are the front-end services they call to receive/send data. The services and components are all strongly typed leaving little room for error. Each component and service must contain a unit test for added peace of mind prior to deployment. Additionally, I was responsible for working along side the Director of Engineering for creating and maintaining our standards and conventions for all things front-end. This included performing code reviews and providing feedback to the other developers to aid in their growth and confidence.

As an additional responsibility, I took it upon myself to mentor other developers on front-end development and best practices while using React/TypeScript and especially CSS which can be daunting for back-end focused developers. While at Tongal I was able to venture into the back-end code which is written in Kotlin and Java. It was encouraged to become more full stack oriented but due to deadlines we were often tasked with features that played to our strengths.

Instructional Designer/ Web / Flash Developer (December 4, 2006 – June 28, 2008)

Accomplishments:

My ability to program Flash using ActionScript 2.0 and 3.0 allowed me to improve upon the preexisting templates used to create e-learning material. Before long, I was transitioned from content development to the development ActionScript 3.0 based templates as my main responsibility. My templates allowed the graphic designers to rely solely on their graphic design skills and let my code take care of any scripted animations they needed. Production was sped up tremendously because of my templates.

Responsibilities:
