My primary goal was to design the Frontend React architecture and establish a modern Frontend tech stack that was; flexible, configurable, could scale to enterprise, and had small learning curves for the rest of my team.

Worked with Product, Design, Sales, and Backend to scope, timeline, and deploy Octaura's first production in-house dashboard application, all in two months.

Selected and established the foundation for a custom in-house component library, along with 20+ commonly used components.

Mentored and guided our summer internship program.

I was brought in to architect and develop a custom component library. Must haves included W3C accessibility and compliance, external partner/client brand theming, and an intuitive developer implementation experience. I collaborated with product design, and the dev team to deliver over 40+ accessible and theme-able components, which when implemented increased feature development speed by 45% and eliminated 70% of duplicate components throughout our products.

Developed and maintained an extensive component library documentation site. Source designs, examples, code recipes and more, so that developers of various skill sets across the company had guidance on the new system.

Lead preparing and refactoring the Frontend code base to a NextJS architecture. Educated team in React best practices and cleaned up legacy React implementations across various products/features.

From day one I was tasked with overhauling the entire company Frontend tech stack. Lucera didn’t want to look like another outdated financial service provider, and with an amazing team beside me I set off to architect and develop 3 separate high-speed fin-tech trading apps over the course of my 3 years.

With React as the framework of choice, my core focus was on performance, unique and customizable UX for Traders, lean dependencies for small production bundles, and near-zero bugs since millions of real dollars are being traded in very real time. A constant cycle of communication between Product, Design, and Backend ensured that features worked as expected and all conceivable (and some inconceivable) edge case scenarios were considered and tested for.

As the team grew, and component reuse started to cause duplication (and implementation divergence) throughout multiple projects, I took ownership of developing, releasing and maintaining a shared component library. Again, the focus was performance, reliability, customization, and now also developer experience.

In between major projects I satisfied my curiosity by learning and owning CI/CD pipelines, helping with DB migrations, mentoring 2 juniors (all of whom have gone on to thrive in their careers) and more!

My roles at SAP included architecting and developing FE data analytics applications (both client and internal), collaborating cross team to upgrade legacy Angular versions, contributing to existing company project features, and sharing best practices for Angular, RxJS, GraphQL, and React. My secondary role was to work with design teams to create and implement a company wide UI framework. The goal was to simplify development of new apps by providing company teams with modular, abstracted, and styled components which could be used 'out of the box' to create app UI's without worrying about functional details of each component.

Hired to take over all of the FE UI/UX for an e-commerce analytics app, freeing up the lead dev to focus on architecture logic. My job was to give customers a clear picture of their business by transforming and displaying model data in the most intuitive UX possible. I worked closely with design and dev leads on app features, and when their positions opened up, took over both roles as the single source of all FE related tasks.
