• Led the design and implementation of the system architecture for a complete rebuild of a legacy platform utilizing React with Typescript, Material-UI, Express, and SQL, resulting in an 85% increase in operational efficiency and improved scalability to support future growth.• Collaborated with UX Designer to design and implement a dynamic PDF bill generation service using React, automating the generation of personalized customer billing statements, which reduced manual intervention by 80% and cut billing errors by 30%.• Participated in cross-functional collaboration with backend engineers to seamlessly integrate the React-based bill generation service with existing billing systems, achieving a 90% reduction in processing time for generating billing statements.• Implemented agile development methodologies to streamline the software development process, reducing time-to- market by 30% and increasing customer satisfaction by 15%.• Key contributor in the development and launch of a public-facing resident portal, increasing user engagement by 50% and streamlining the customer experience for accessing billing history and account information.• Utilized responsive design principles to ensure an optimized experience on both browser and mobile devices, leading to a 40% decrease in customer complaints related to accessibility issues.• Played a key role in the development of internal Node.js REST API's using Express.js, Sequelize ORM, and Swagger for API documentation, resulting in 50% fast response times.• Assisted in optimizing and supporting a microservice architecture utilizing AWS tools such as EC2, S3, and Lambda, reducing infrastructure costs by 15% and improving system scalability to handle a 25% increase in traffic.• Designed and optimized PostgreSQL database schemas for scalable applications, improving query performance and reducing data retrieval times by 30%.

• Utilized Node.js and Electron to deploy a desktop application to asynchronously edit project files, dramatically reducing associated memory footprint.• Used React Redux to streamline state management and store data from multiple user inputs in global state in order to assemble fully functioning test blocks.• Deployed React Hooks to simplify component creation and abstract state manipulation for each component by leveraging the Flux architecture, allowing for predictability, reliability, traceability, testability, durability and modularity of state at all times.• Implemented the TypeScript framework to promote clarity and assist in safeguarding against bugs in future development by catching errors at compile time, making the codebase more maintainable at scale.• Leveraged the power of SASS/SCSS to modularize component styling, improving the speed and clarity with which styling can be done.• Utilized Test Driven Development by writing unit tests using Jest and Enzyme to ensure that each component was functioning as intended and contained the appropriate data.

• Built a relational SQL database to hold user and item information which allows users to create listings to sell second-hand goods. This allows each item to be relationally tied with the user that posted it so users can see all items posted by each user at once.• Implemented a REST API architecture using Express.js to abstract some of the complexity of the backend development and build CRUD functionality for items and users.• Utilized React Redux’s global state management as a work-around for deploying the websocket chat feature by storing each conversation’s related data in state.• Constructed our UI with React Hooks to simplify front-end development and allow for easier handling of state and life-cycle management by handling state changes from the component.• Leveraged React Router to minimize server calls by creating static routes to give our single-page application the look and feel of a multi-page application in order to minimize the amount of requests made to the server and reduce server stress.• Harnessed Websockets to implement a P2P chat system to allow users to talk to each other to arrange transactions using bi-directional communication.• Configured Webpack to build a dependency graph to be used for bundling and transpiling the app to make packaging and deployment easier.

• Restructured database from SQL to noSQL using MongoDB to leverage unidirectional data flow to simplify data storage handling and aid in application scaling.• Reorganized Express.js server and router to reflect the reconfigured non-relational data model and streamline data retrieval from the database.• Refactored codebase using React Hooks to eliminate prop-drilling and improve efficiency and readability by allowing us to manipulate state from the components themselves and making prop inheritance more straightforward.

• Built and maintained custom photography portfolio websites using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, enhancing client visibility and generating a 20% increase in inbound inquiries through optimized user experience and SEO strategies.• Designed and deployed websites for other photographers, collaborating closely with clients to meet specific design and functionality requirements, ensuring a seamless user experience across multiple platforms.• Utilized data analytics to track website performance and implement continuous improvements, leading to a 15% increase in website engagement and a higher conversion rate for client inquiries.• Owned and operated a professional portrait photography business that handled the production of social media and marketing content for high-end clientele.• Managed a team of creative individuals to ensure quality and timely delivery of product.
