I’ve applied Next.js, TypeScript, and GraphQL to expand on my performance testing expertise, leading the successful rebuild of a headless WordPress website for Cook's Pest Control. This initiative resulted in a 28% boost in website performance and a 19% improvement in accessibility.With a strong ability to resolve live bugs and manage ongoing client projects, I navigate unfamiliar codebases with minimal direction, demonstrating independence and a commitment to delivering high-quality results. While developing applications, I proactively create my own QA items, support the QA team, and ensure that bugs are addressed quickly and efficiently. I also acquired expertise in Sanity and GROQ in real-time, successfully delivering a robust front-end and back-end content management system in under three months.I take a proactive approach to user experience (UX) by initiating discussions during project phases to identify potential issues early, helping to save time and resources. Additionally, I focus on optimizing image and asset delivery to improve load times, adding alt tags and ARIA labels for better accessibility, ensuring proper semantic HTML structure across pages, and addressing Cumulative Layout Shifts (CLS) to enhance overall site performance and usability.In addition to front-end development, I’ve worked with MongoDB to ensure data integrity and resolve issues related to duplicate arrays. Using Jira, I track project progress, manage bugs, and collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure timely delivery of sprint tasks and prompt resolution of any issues. For version control, I utilize Git for checking and merging pull requests, and use Vercel for deployment checks, ensuring smooth collaboration and efficient delivery of features.

My main goal was to provide various clients with efficient and scalable software solutions that delivered seamless experiences across multiple touchpoints. In collaboration with client, account, and UX leads, I assessed and provided recommendations for future UI/UX improvements. I also offered new clients technical recommendations aimed at promoting code quality and long-term maintenance improvements. In recognition of my contributions, I received the Ambassador Award in 2023 for inspiring excellence by suggesting third-party libraries and UX architecture changes that significantly enhanced a client’s product.Additionally, I was recognized by the client team for my speed in regression testing and my proactive approach to taking on additional tasks without being asked. Utilizing Microsoft Visual Studio Professional, I conducted code reviews for new team members, providing feedback on functionality, formatting, and syntax improvements. I also worked closely with new developers via Microsoft Teams, troubleshooting bugs and assisting with Bootstrap 5 changes to ensure accurate translation of responsive designs from Figma to the web.As part of my responsibilities, I completed QA regression tests for new features and bug fixes, using BrowserStack to test across mobile, tablet, and desktop devices. I built new features, addressed support bugs, and wrote unit tests using technologies like React, JavaScript, APIs, Webpack, Bootstrap 5, SCSS, JEST, React Testing Library, SQL Server Management Studio, and Azure DevOps. Furthermore, I demonstrated strong problem-solving skills when I found a replacement for my project position within an hour, facilitating communication between all parties involved. This quick action helped save company revenue, maintain a fellow employee’s chargeability, and ease the client team’s workload.

Leading a development team of 10+ members as a specialist in device optimization, responsive design, browser compatibility, and accessibility testing, I restructured overly complicated and redundant existing code, created React template files, global style sheets, and reusable components, and wrote and performed unit tests using JEST and React Testing Library. Additionally, I mocked APIs with React Query, JSON, and Mokku. My experience in animation helped solve long-standing issues, leading to an on-time delivery to the client. I also identified flaws in the onboarding process and created new joiner documentation, which improved the experience and reduced acclimation and training time for new hires.
