- Full-stack JavaScript development, using React with Redux on the front-end and Node.js / Express.js / PostgreSQL on the back-end. - Refactored and migrated several UI sub-applications from separate Flux stores to a single global Redux store - Designed and implemented real-time data updates pushed to the browser using WebSockets via Pusher, coordinated via redux-saga - Designed and built our workflow planning subsystem, which planned and re-planned a network of dependent tasks (as a directed acyclic graph) based on user-provided durations and buffer / lead time values. The planning component supported recurring constraints, weekends/holidays/non-working days, and slack / critical path calculations using a topological sort algorithm. - As a member of the Platform / Records squad, my team and I: - built Lanetix's next generation core records / data modeling subsystem - implemented inline data entry / editing for the core records system in react-data-gri
