Led the development of user interface (UI) experiments, optimizing for user retention and engagement. Applied imperative programming (Vanilla JavaScript, HTML, CSS) and modern UI frameworks (React) to deliver high-impact solutions for WSJ, Barron’s, and MarketWatch. The scrum process consisted of the following:

• Developed and tested multiple UI variations (A/B testing) to increase user retention by 20% globally, significantly reducing subscription cancellations.

• Collaborated with cross-functional teams in Agile sprints to prioritize and deliver impactful product features.

• Rewrote legacy JavaScript code into modern React Hooks for improved code maintainability and performance in CI/CD pipelines.

• Tracked user behavior and KPIs to ensure data-driven performance improvements with Optimizely.

• Delivered end-to-end full-stack solutions, integrating UI enhancements into broader Dow Jones platforms while maintaining code quality and performance standards. One of my proudest accomplishments at Dow Jones was achieving a 20% uplift in user retention. I was the sole developer on this piece of the application. I am humbled and proud to know that I contributed so significantly to the annual bottom line.

Taught full-stack development to beginner students, helping them transition from non-technical backgrounds to proficient developers. Focused on object-oriented programming (OOP) and functional programming principles.

• Delivered 2-hour lectures and hands-on labs, guiding students through critical software engineering concepts such as OOP, Functional Programming, and API Development.

• Received positive feedback from students for breaking down complex topics into digestible, real-world examples.

• Developed instructional materials, homework assignments, and lab exercises to reinforce learning outcomes.

Developed custom internal applications and automation solutions to improve operational efficiency and system performance.

• Built and deployed full-stack applications using React, Node.js, C#, and SQL for internal teams.

• Automated testing for APIs and user interfaces with Node-RED, Selenium, and Python, improving testing efficiency by 30%.

• Implemented and maintained CI/CD pipelines on AWS to ensure zero-downtime deployments and platform stability.

• Managed AWS EC2 instances, ensuring optimal performance and cost-effectiveness.
