Productionizing agents

I was a lead developer on several of Groundswells web products. I was responsible for several key parts of the development process including project estimates, technical decision making, user session tracking, and pr reviews from other front and backend developers. Most of my time is was spent on the frontend, but I now frequently make contributions on our Express.js server.

As a full-time software engineer I continued my work on the React Native app. This is where I spent most of my time occasionally make contributions to our backend. In this two year stint I learned about the mobile deployment process in React Native, push notifications, deep and universal linking, eslint configuration, and frontend/backend unit and integrations testing paradigms. I also helped hire multiple of my engineering and product colleagues. Near the end of my tenure in this role, I also helped develop two web products using Next.js and Tailwind. During these projects, I lead development and collaborated deeply with my product counterparts.

As the first engineering hire at Groundswell, I played a central role in developing our React Native app and implementing a key microservice in GoLang. Early on, I focused on building proof-of-concept prototypes in React to validate technical feasibility, earning the trust of our leadership. As the sole engineer, I significantly contributed to shaping our engineering culture, setting standards, and collaborating closely with the CEO and Chief Product Officer.
