• Expand React component library and develop components with Redux-managed state across Codesmith’s public sites and internal administrative systems.

• Transition components from class-based to functional React, enhancing code maintainability and scalability; refactor components from JavaScript code to TypeScript to improve type safety.

• Utilize Jest to construct unit tests, verifying proper dispatched actions of React/Redux components, in addition to testing Express middleware for event and code verification.

• Lead code review sessions for junior engineers in both one-on-one and group settings, assessing code for clarity, organization, and effectiveness.

• Conduct onboarding and technical training for engineers in full-stack development principles, including React/Redux, AJAX, Node.js/Express, NoSQL/SQL databases, TDD, and Containerization and Deployment (Docker/AWS).

• Mentor engineering teams through ideation, development, deployment, and launch of full-stack open-source applications; utilize Agile/Scrum methodology for daily stand-ups and sprint planning to ensure effective cooperation and efficient product delivery

• Conduct technical interviews to evaluate prospective engineers, assessing knowledge of advanced Javascript concepts, algorithms, data structures, engineering best practices, and technical communication skills.

• Developed and published Solid Query Devkit, a suite of devtools for the Solid Query caching library, providing developers in the SolidJS ecosystem an efficient way to manage server state and easily debug their SolidJS applications at scale.

• Leveraged SolidJS to architect and implement interactive visualization components, utilizing the framework’s unidirectional data flow to enable the seamless exploration of JSON structured data.

• Utilized TypeScript to ensure more effective error handling and debugging due to its native static analysis capabilities, in addition to providing an iterable codebase for future improvements to the product.

• Used SolidJS to build a web application to promote the product, taking advantage of Tailwind CSS’s utility class suite to maintain consistent design across the codebase and reduce ramp-up time.

• Configured a Node.js/Express server and integrated Github OAuth to implement a secure authentication system for the web application and enable user ticket submission, storing non-relational user and administrative data in a NoSQL database.

• Containerized web application with Docker for efficient deployment, and implemented a CI/CD pipeline using Github Actions to automate the testing, building, and deployment processes.

• Deployed web application on AWS’s Elastic Beanstalk to optimize cost efficiency, ensure autoscaling, provide high availability, and implement user security best practices, incorporating SSL encryption via AWS’s Route 53 service.

• Developed under tech accelerator OS Labs.
