• Rebuilding our outdated documentation site from the ground up (using React/Docusaurus, MDX, TailwindCSS, TypeScript, and NodeJs) in close collaboration with product, design, and technical writing to provide an improved UX/UI with a more intuitive information architecture.

• Led the feature development for a search experience on the new documentation site (built using NodeJS, React, and Algolia) to help users more easily find the learning resources they are looking for, improving client time-to-implementation.

• Initiated the ideation and implementation of a more streamlined deploy process in the CI/CD pipeline that reduced time to production from several days to mere minutes.

• Participate in code reviews and discussions around architecture and developer experience for MX's API's and client dashboard.

• Improved Apollo's learning platform’s DX/UX by shifting complex code to the server for client-side optimizations, rearchitecting content structure for easier authoring, and migrating to TypeScript for stability and type safety

• Built a unified search (React, Algolia, NodeJS) across Apollo web properties, resulting in an increase in number of users using the search (+26%), number of searches (+29%), and user engagement (+5%)

• Led a cross-functional initiative with Design and Education to build an "exams" feature to Apollo's learning platform as an option for users to obtain GraphQL certifications

• Built a custom learning platform from the ground up with React/Gatsby, MDX, Postgres, GraphQL (Apollo Federation) in collaboration with senior engineers and Product to provide free, high quality educational resources for Apollo users

• Contributed to the GraphQL community and collaborated with Developer Relations by creating educational content, such as streams, blog posts, video tutorials, and speaking at conferences

• Continuously maintained and improved Apollo's learning platform, documentation, blog, DevHub, and GraphQL Summit websites

• Full-stack web development student at Lambda School Academy of Computer Science and Web Development, studying HTML, CSS, JavaScript, React, Context API, Redux, Node, Python, and SQL

• Remotely managed a team of 6-8 students over a period of 8 weeks, assisting in teaching and reinforcing curriculum, holding daily standup meetings to evaluate student progress and assess student needs, and perform 1:1 code reviews.

• Taught fundamentals of HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and React by hosting weekly Q&A sessions for up to 90 students, as well as daily hour-long meetings for up to 8 students.

• Managed a cross-collaborative team every month during a week-long team project to build a product from scratch, assisting students in communication, understanding product specifications, working as a team, and developing project management skills.
