GrowthLoop / Senior Frontend Engineer

February 2025 – Present

• Set up a local development environment using Docker Compose, enabling developers to run the entire application stack locally—including the backend, frontend, and database—while forwarding requests through kubectl to access remote services.
• Using Downshift.js, I developed a combo box component that supports multiple selections, customizable rendering, and asynchronous option loading. The component can function as either a single-select combo box or a multi-select dropdown, controlled via a prop.
• Improved code quality by introducing additional tooling for linting, testing, type checking, unused code detection, cyclical dependency/import detection, and code formatting. Implemented a pre-push hook to enforce coding standards and minimize workflow runner usage.
• Refactored the codebase by removing unused dependencies, files, and unnecessary workspaces. Adopted a colocation-by-feature structure, making it easier to onboard new developers and improving the maintainability and readability of the codebase.

Athena / Software Engineer

July 2024 – January 2025

• Appointed as a senior engineer to lead the adoption of best practices in the development and maintenance of a financial advice application using Next.js, React, Styled Components, and TypeScript.
• Improved E2E test reliability by seeding the database within the Docker container, establishing dependencies between tests, and replacing manual timeouts with Playwright locators.
• Improved the CI/CD pipeline by updating workflow dependencies, adding enhanced linting and testing, and implementing a pre-push hook to enforce coding standards—minimizing workflow runner usage and expediting the feedback loop.
• Developed a responsive investments dashboard that displays users' accounts, holdings, and performance over time using a data grid and an SVG-based time-series chart with selectable date ranges.

PowerSchool (acquired Headed2) / Sr. Software Engineer II

June 2022 – June 2023, Folsom, CA

• Using the HTML Canvas element, I developed a responsive React drawing component that supports HiDPI displays, erasing, undoing/redoing strokes, and serialization of the drawing as a Blob or Data URL.
• Developed a React text-to-speech component that wraps both SpeechSynthesis and the HTMLAudioElement API's, while allowing the spoken text to be highlighted, and/or synthesized through Amazon Polly.
• Added ability to unit test their HTML Custom Element component library, and created an NPM bin script to facilitate Jest configuration of consuming micro-frontends.
• Updated NPM dependencies and Webpack builds across multiple projects to upgrade Node.js versions in CI/CD pipelines.

Headed2 / Sr. Software Engineer

July 2021 – June 2022, Sparkill, NY

• Set up their first CI/CD pipeline using GitHub Actions to automate integration and deployment of a Scala backend, React/Webpack frontend, and Storybook build.
• Transitioned legacy code from class-based Redux workflows to React context and local state where applicable, while establishing similar patterns for new development using hooks.
• Using Storybook, I created a reusable React component library that laid the foundation for future UI development with a consistent UX and design.
• Developed their new homepage, global navigation, and multi-step registration flow for mobile and desktop.

Teladoc Health (acquired InTouch Health) / Sr. Software Engineer

June 2020 – July 2021, Purchase, NY

• Developed features for React applications using TypeScript, Redux, Styled Components, Jest, and Testing Library.
• Created a React component that made use of dynamic imports to lazy load different micro-frontends into an integrated web app.
• Transitioned an OAuth 2 flow for an SPA away from the browser and into a Node/Express backend-for-frontend based on the IETF BCP.

InTouch Health / Sr. Software Engineer (Web Frontend)

July 2018 – June 2020, Santa Barbara, CA

• Brought on as the first frontend engineer to oversee development of their new React SPA.
• Using yarn workspaces and Docker I started a monorepo for development of SPAs, a component library, Storybook, and an Express mock server.
• Grew the monorepo to eleven contributors that spanned two teams and multiple web apps.
• Deployed the API for a React SPA to AWS using Amazon API Gateway and stage variables for management of different environments. Served static assets for the SPA via S3.

Tenable / Sr. Software Engineer

March 2016 – July 2018, COLUMBIA, MD

• Spearheaded development of their next-generation architecture and stack as a mono-repo using Yarn Workspaces, Webpack, Gulp, React, and Redux (was previously a custom framework on top of jQuery).
• Using an in-house framework built with Hapi I developed their first frontend middleware service used for aggregation and mocking of other microservices.
• Contributed as part of the front end platform teach, providing the modules, framework, and tools to support higher-level feature development.

Previous Experience:

• Developed chart-based SPAs to visualize energy usage across a building portfolio using React, Backbone, D3 and SVG.

  Lucid, Oakland, CA, 2014 – 2015

• Using the Google Maps JavaScript API and HTML5 audio and video elements I developed a NextStop application allowing bus administrators to designate geographic locations where a bus would announce the next stop.
