I worked as a technical lead, and go to resource for a my medium sized team focused on our lender application. Initially the focus was building a strategy to remove the remaining Angular from our application. I built a plan, divided up work, and led a team of 3 to successfully remove Angular while verifying and validating existing functionality was not lost. This included single handily refactoring thousands of tests from Enzyme to RTL.
With a focus on improving our customers self-service capabilities. I led a team of 3 to design, plan, and build a way that exposes custom admin configurations to our customers that integrated into our existing permission system. This allowed for other teams to leverage our work to expose configurations safely to customers.
I additionally led a small team, while collaborating with a cross functional team, product managers, and customers to build out a highly requested group management, hierarchical data access feature. Enabling our customers to build out exact data access structures to the loans their employees needed to get their job done. This included working with Mongo, Elastic Search, Postgres, Go, Node.js, and React.
With a focus on performance, I was able to optimize our build system and decrease our bundle size by 10x while also speeding up our builds, and test run times.
I gave multiple talks, and help set patterns across our frontend organization for modern data loading with React Query, and forms with react-hook-form.

As the first technical hire my focus was setting the technology stack on the right path. After a few tests, and working with our CTO, we crafted our stack which included React, Next.js, TypeScript, React Native, GraphQL, and Hasura as well as a few other modern technologies. This allowed for us to quickly iterate on internal and external facing pieces of our application while maintaining HIPAA compliance. We delivered technology that improved the lives of our staff, parents, and children.
I had an integral part in all aspects of development. I would spec out features with product, write tickets, and work with teammates to enhance our system. This included talking with our internal medical staff, collecting feedback, and iterating on what was or was not working.
One of the largest features I worked on was a custom scheduling system. I worked with our Chief Medical Officer, and staff to gather how they wanted to build out staff scheduling. I then built out a real time scheduling system that integrated with our external website, including a reservation system, and more.
In the end we had our stack powering our website, internal EHR-lite, parent facing mobile application, internal app for medical staff on iPads, as well as a React Native Desktop mac application.
