With over a decade of experience in front-end web development and engineering management, I have honed my skills in creating seamless, user-friendly applications and leading cross-functional teams to success. At my current role as a Dev Manager and Principal Developer, I oversee a team of 12 in the Email and Deployment team, ensuring that project lifecycles—from concept to delivery—are managed with precision and efficiency. Collaborating with product management and quality assurance, I define project scopes, objectives, and deliverables, ensuring that our outputs are both innovative and reliable.

In addition to my managerial responsibilities, I led an internal team of four in developing a comprehensive desktop application. This application allows users to effortlessly click and drop components to build emails or web pages, leveraging Objective C and Vue for a robust and intuitive experience. My role required close coordination with stakeholders across various regions, balancing long-term vision with the agility needed to address immediate challenges. My commitment to excellence is reflected in my dedication to code reviews, refactoring, and the mentorship of new hires and QA teams, ensuring that our technical standards are consistently met and exceeded.

Previously, as the Lead FEWD at a startup, I used a variety of tools on a daily basis. I built both a dispatch and billing portal, each with the ability to manipulate data, search, and assign rides. Additionally, I designed these features to be aesthetically pleasing while allowing users to view large sets of data simultaneously.

This was accomplished using JHipster for the Java-based backend and AngularJS with Bootstrap for the frontend. Utilizing HTML and JavaScript, I used SASS for its nesting capabilities, variables, mixins, and placeholders, along with other libraries like UI Grid and date-time-picker in my daily development.

Another tool I developed was a mobile app for drivers, built using React Native for deployment on both iOS and Android. Given React Native's relative youth, I developed several components natively for Android and iOS, such as mapping, way-pointing, and enabling background tasks.

When I was first at Apple, I was a Front End Web Developer, creating visually impressive and technically challenging pages. It is an incredible feeling to know that the pages I helped create are viewed by millions of people.

Finally, when I started GuitarDistrict.com, I had my first taste of how my code could be used by anyone. I used HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and PHP, in addition to working with APIs (eBay, PayPal, Amazon, ProStores). It was a startup environment where smart thinking, meeting goals, and customer service were part of everyday life.
