Frontend Engineer Jan 2021 - Present
Verigent (Remote) - Huntersville, NC
• Built a real-time trading dashboard in React and TypeScript with D3.js candlestick charts, live bid/ask spreads, and order book depth visualizations fed via WebSocket.
• Reduced React bundle size through code splitting, dynamic chart library imports, and lazy-loaded route components, meaningfully improving initial load time for the trading interface.
• Built a D3.js financial charting library with OHLCV candlesticks, volume bars, RSI, and MACD overlays, adopted as the standard charting component across three internal trading applications.
• Wired WebSocket feeds into React state using custom hooks and Zustand, maintaining consistent UI state across concurrent price updates without race conditions or stale data.
• Implemented WCAG 2.1 AA compliance across the trading interface including keyboard-navigable order entry and screen-reader compatible data tables, satisfying an enterprise client accessibility requirement.
• Used GitHub Copilot daily for TypeScript generics and React hook generation, and integrated the Claude API to auto-generate chart annotation summaries for financial data visualizations, giving analysts plain-language context alongside complex trading charts.
KEY PROJECTS
Enterprise UI Design System - React, TypeScript, Storybook, Tailwind CSS, Jest, Chromatic, GitHub Actions
• Built a trading dashboard with D3.js OHLCV charting and WebSocket order book feeds serving 4K concurrent trader sessions at sub-40ms UI update latency.
• Implemented Zustand for WebSocket state management, batching 12K price updates per second into 60fps React renders without UI jank or dropped frames.
• Built a shared D3.js financial charting library with 9 chart types, adopted across 3 internal trading tools and reducing per-tool charting development time by 3 weeks.
• Achieved WCAG 2.1 AA compliance including keyboard-navigable order entry, screen reader alerts for price targets, and color-blind-safe color schemes.
• Set up Playwright E2E tests validating real-time data rendering accuracy and WebSocket reconnection behavior, tests run in CI on every merge to main.
Real-Time Analytics Dashboard - React, TypeScript, D3.js, WebSockets, React Query, Recharts, AWS CloudFront
• Built a wealth management portal with React Query data fetching, Recharts portfolio visualization, and multi-step account management workflows for 22K clients.
• Implemented react-window virtualized transaction tables rendering 5 years of history with 60fps scrolling, no pagination required for standard account sizes.
• Built a 65-component Storybook library for the wealth management UI with Chromatic visual regression testing on every PR, caught 4 regressions before client-facing releases.
• Achieved Lighthouse performance scores above 92 through code splitting, Next.js ISR, and CDN-based asset delivery on all key client portal routes.
• Wrote Vitest unit tests covering all financial formatting utilities with 45+ boundary value cases, currency display, date arithmetic, and percentage change rounding.
PROFESSIONAL ACHIEVEMENTS
• Built the real-time trading dashboard serving 4K concurrent sessions, a system the trading desk said improved their workflow more than any tool change in the past 3 years.
• Reduced the React bundle through code splitting and lazy loading, bringing Time-to-Interactive under 2 seconds and improving trader adoption on slower corporate networks. EDUCATION
