My responsibilities here were severalfold: As a senior developer, I worked with some of the best designers and developers in Colorado to create award-winning websites and products, particularly in eCommerce. I spent a large part of my time on animation and interaction dev - but I also have heavy proficiency in back-end technologies, and deployed a number of global-market applications and APIs on WordPress and Laravel.As a team lead, I was responsible for a team of 2-5 developers - I managed resourcing, training, code quality, conflict resolution, and enabled tangible short- and long-term goal achievement within my team. I also took the lead in writing and refining our department's processes and code standards.In addition to my primary responsibilities, I often wore a Technical Project Manager hat - where I directly fostered client relationships, supported account growth with my technical expertise, and iterated projects in a SCRUM-flavored workflow.

Maintained front-end ownership of sites and applications for national clients using bleeding-edge technology, with a focus on standards-first development: cross-platform compatibility, accessibility, and responsive methodology above all else. SVN/Git and Grunt were our best friends in creating cross-platform portability, and SASS/LESS, Bootstrap, and Require were constant fixtures in the development and deployment processes. Many other tools and libraries also starred as projects called for them - gained experience with several CMS applications, KnockoutJS, Backbone, Angular, Raphael for SVG, and Kinetic/Konva for Canvas.

Managed all aspects of GeniusRocket's web presence. This began with a full-scale transition/rebuild of GeniusRocket's website from Python/Django to PHP, to facilitate faster to-market deployment of time-sensitive content and site features, as well as more flexible administration and interaction between client, artist, and submission. GeniusRocket had a heavy focus on accessible user-submitted online media: rich text, image, and video on both desktop and mobile. Several additional tools and features were developed to facilitate this focus, and administrate and deploy content quickly and universally without the use of flash.
