Experience
Senior Full-Stack Contractor
I have provided my development services for several clients, working as part of agile teams to deliver high quality web apps using modern react. My specialty is leveraging my broad knowledge of programming techniques and libraries to design systems and tooling that multiplies the productivity of all team members.
I was trusted to optimize ballooning data payloads on the hilton.com homepage, by writing a de novo content data mapping layer for their CMS. I also led Imagine Cruising's frontend team in their initiative to move all their franchised sites to a single white-labeled next.js codebase.
In addition to development I have also trained junior team members, onboarded incoming mid/senior level developers, and driven foundational technical changes across codebases. I was trusted to investigate and implement the core state-management solution for a large scale green-field app, and drove an initiative to adopt state-of-the-art unit testing of an otherwise untested 200k LOC codebase.
Co-Founder/Lead Developer
My core work ducing Codogo Write, a modern writing web app with a focus on ease-of-use and polished user experience. We were invited to pitch with Y Combinator in California on the strength of the MVP I developed
To support development of this product, I produced complex web and native apps and websites for over 20 clients, across a breadth of fields (including chat apps, social networks, and data-vis) both from scratch and on legacy systems in React and React Native
Development Intern
I worked on Amazon’s native instant video player: a large scale real-time c++ codebase. I was responsible for porting it to OS X and fixing memory bugs. Taking responsibility for mission-critical software and working to provide tooling for other developers allowed me to gain valuable experience in communicating with other developers across many other teams at Amazon
Computer Science Degree (2:1)
During my degree I studied a wide range of subjects: from runtime/space analysis and higher order logic to database systems and software development best practices. My exposure to the full range of modern software at a world renowned university provided me with the rock solid foundation I needed to hit the ground running providing elegant and powerful solutions to every problem I've encountered since
