Led the Front End Development of the Epicurious.com site redesign. I was the lead front end developer on the Wired.com team for several months.During redesigns, my creative contributions were recognized by the company. I was placed on R&D projects working closely with design and UX leadership to build prototypes and advanced UI components that were launched on multiple digital destination sites (wired.com, Style.com, Epicurious.com, GQ). The sites used different front end libraries, the components were built with native javascript without libraries.I started there as a consultant Web Developer in the Creative Services department.
