I worked on a team that supported clinicians filling shifts for hospital work, as well as improving tools for the operations team that supported these clinicians. These tools were written in Ruby, React, and Elm.

I also spent time working on an internal project utilizing React Native.

My stack here is: React, TypeScript, Ruby, PostgreSQL, React, React Native(Expo);

My goals are to champion build a great product, backed by a thoughtfully architectured codebase.

Work I've done here includes:

• Generating assets on-the-fly for users
• Adding financial support for multi-currency transactions
• Creation of deployment pipeline for smooth releases

My stack here is: React, TypeScript, Django, PostgreSQL, Retool;

The highlight of my time at Zefr focuses on delivering a high quality sales tool within 6 weeks on a newly formed team.

Other work I did includes:

• A complete rewrite of internal libraries into TypeScript
• CI/CD Pipeline updates
• Legacy web updates with backwards compatibility
• Migration of test frameworks

My workflow stack here was: React, Typescript, Excel, Node JS;

When I originally joined Fair I was hired as a back-end engineer on the billing team. When I finished at Fair, I was leading a team of engineers on the creation of an internal operations website. While this transition was not entirely my choice, I embraced the opportunity to grow my skillset in a wider capacity.

• While on Billing team I worked with a team of 4-6 engineers on supporting the existing business
• While on the Customer Fleet Management (CFM) team I worked with a team of 5-10 engineers on supporting the existing business, and supporting the pivot to a new business

The team of engineers under my supervision on CFM team consisted of two-to-five, on average three, front-end international contractors. They pushed me forward in my journey of being able to manage others, and I hope I was able to push them forward in their journey's as engineers.

Throughout my time at Fair I championed changes in the company big and small, cultural and operational. Some of those changes include

• Cutting one of our redundant vendor contracts saving $80k/year
• Creating automations to decrease customer escalations, saving time for engineers and operators alike
• Reconstructing an entire internal operations website as part of a company pivot (We moved to gatsbyJS)
• Leading weekly engineering-only demos for the engineering organization
• Participating in the Team Bonding Committee for engineering

Stack was: Ruby, Python, React, SQL, GRPC;

While at Bird I worked in a mission team building, testing, and sunsetting, billion dollar ideas outside of the core business.

• Our engineering team had two iOS engineers, two Android engineers, and two full-stack engineers (I'm one of these two).
• We worked fast, sometimes transforming ideas from our product manager into code ready for the next release just a few hours after introduction to the team.

On this team, I focused on BirdPay, a QR-based payment platform integrated with the Bird app, and the renters/owners program at Bird.

• During the initial safer at home orders the city of Santa Monica published a map of essential businesses. As an alternative to operations associates copying the information from the map manually, I traced the source of this map to write a script that uploaded 127 businesses to BirdPay for user visibility

Outside of my mission team, I participated fiercely in the larger engineering organization goals.

• Facilitated several full-stack guild meetings, and readily filled in for absent facilitators
• Spent Fridays working with Engineering leadership on tickets designed to reduce costs or speed up development in less than four hours of work
• Placed 3rd in an internal hackathon on my 5th day at work! - the prize was a jacket with "Hacktober 2019" on it

Stack was: Kotlin, HTML, CSS, Javascript, SQL, Ruby, Python;

My time at Rinse taught me the beauty, and importance, of writing project specification documents. My teammates helped me feel confident in my strengths, and courageous in facing my weaknesses.

• Full-stack engineer working with Django, plain js, jQuery, React, Vue, CSS, and SCSS
• Product owner for updating, testing, and deploying an internal mobile application for iOS and Android through a hybrid framework used in daily operations by hundreds of users for a variety of purposes
• Worked in two-week sprint cycles continually pushing forward revenue impacting features and bug fixes
• Managed a variety of IT tasks including, but not limited to, setting up Mobile Device Management, flashing and repairing linux machines, and preparing for internal town halls
• Supported other teammates on external React Native application
