‣ Developed internal tools, CSX learning platform, and Codesmith’s public site that has over 165,000 annual users‣ Utilized Docker for its ability to decentralize architecture, abstracting away the need to manually install dependencies and enable communication among multiple, containerized development environments to run separate application services.‣ Expanded unit and integration tests to guarantee replicable TDD environment with comprehensive test coverage to ensure a robust, reliable, modular codebase with clear debugging process to safeguard against regression bugs, edge-cases, side effects‣ Decoupled web content from React-based component structure to enable non-technical staff to deploy content-based updates independently using YAML files via an automated recursive parsing algorithm‣ Mentored 90+ junior engineers through development of full-stack apps using Agile/SCRUM methods, code reviews, pair programming, whiteboarding, and provided lectures on core technologies to ensure best practices and codebase uniformity

‣ Integrated TypeScript to enforce static, structural type checking to reduce runtime errors, ensure type safety, improve consistency and predictability across distributed developer teams, minimize bugs ‣ Utilized Chromium rendering engine and Node.js runtime environment to power Electron to enable cross-platform functionality, to save time in deployment, to create offline, sandboxed environment to test relational database queries‣ Implemented Node.js child processes to interface with CLI to access instances of containerized relational databases to route commands from client-side through Electron IPC channels to hydrate user-generated tables with mock data‣ Used React.js functional and stateful components to render reusable components by leveraging observer pattern‣ Leveraged Docker to build custom Postgres and Busybox image to create lightweight environment to containerize databases to ensure OS agnostic performance, to reduce root filesystem size, to automate rapid and repeatable database generation within offline environment, to ensure multi-version maintainability, to abstract process of spinning up dummy databases‣ Built custom Webpack configuration with development and production modes to modularize bundle process, ensure cross-browser compatibility, to take advantage of HMR to streamline development and debugging process, to optimize frontend through minification and uglification, and to incorporate ES6+ transpilation for developer packages‣ Architected a one-to-one database-to-schema design to maintain separation of concerns to ensure validity of testing analytics by containing each database in an isolated environment to replicate real-world use cases at scale‣ Leveraged TDD by using Jest and Enzyme frameworks to implement unit and integration testing to validate components, to ensure modular, maintainable, readable code, and to safeguard against regression bugs, edge-cases, and side effects
