• Collaborated with engineering leaders to simplify Drizly’s technical architecture given an updated business direction.• Evaluated the performance and developer experience tradeoffs to migrate from Next.js’ Pages Router to App Router.• Proposed, architected, and achieved consensus on:o Migrating from Next.js’ Pages Router to App Router.o An implementation for inline content editing within the Scrivito content management system (CMS)o Splitting the product taxonomy from the consumer application navigation.• Implemented a continuous improvement system to encourage engineering teams to progressively migrate to TypeScript.• Resolved several critical bugs that blocked the migration from Next.js’ Pages Router to App Router.• Migrated several complex continuous integration (CI) workflows from Jenkins to GitHub Actions.• Migrated the Docker Compose implementation of the primary web application to utilize Compose Watch which enabled engineers to preview their changes locally in a production-like environment. The feedback loop to preview changes was reduced by 57% when compared to deploying to a staging server.• Migrated several large parts of Drizly’s JavaScript code base to TypeScript.• Performed several major upgrades of core system dependencies.

• Worked within a legacy code base consisting of Ruby on Rails, Hypernova, and React.• Researched, documented, and diagramed the current architecture of the consumer systems.• Consulted with business leaders on technical feasibility of proposed initiatives.• Debugged and resolved a critical issue that prevented customs from being able to checkout due to the Rails session cookie exceeding the browser’s cookie size limit.• Identified the causes of exceeding Google’s Core Web Vital (CWV) metric thresholds and proposed solutions.• Debugged and resolved a critical issue with Hypernova that caused the Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS) metric to far exceed Google’s threshold.• Created a technical roadmap for the primary consumer web application.• Instrumented geolocation services usage, which exposed a large-scale data harvesting operation. Blocking the operation saved the company $380,000 each year by reducing the geolocation service costs by 42%.• Simplified the local development environment which improved developer productivity and onboarding time.• Determined that migrating the primary consumer web application from the legacy code base to Next.js, without any additional optimizations, would reduce the Time to First Byte (TTFB) by 39% and Largest Concertful Paint (LCP) by 24%.• Researched and created a detailed comparison of edge computing vendors.• Ensured that the consumer applications were properly tested by a continuous integration (CI) system.• Designed and implemented an integration strategy between Next.js and the Scrivito content management system (CMS).• Mentored a mid-level software engineer using pair programming and assisted in teaching them the technical skills required for a promotion to senior engineer.• Created a cache proxy using Cloudflare Workers to cache API responses from the Scrivito API which reduced the latency of these requests from the client applications by 80%.

• Implemented new features in MediaWiki that allowed users on Wikipedia to:o Prevent being emailed by specific users.o Issue partial blocks on specific pages or namespaces rather than the entire wiki.o Perform investigations of users or IP address to address harassment.• Created a GraphQL extension for MediaWiki as a proof of concept to allow engineers to make distributed queries across all of Wikimedia’s wikis.• Created and maintained Docker’s official MediaWiki container image.
