Tech infrastructure and full product ownership at a SaaS startup. Identified bottlenecks and design pain points, established plan of attack for stabilizing and repairing problem pieces of infrastructure, vastly improved application speed by overhauling state management paradigm in a way that allowed for effective caching strategies, implemented user facing features, debugging and reverse engineering particularly thorny JS legacy code (core of app was a 20k+ line single JS file), updated and maintained legacy PHP scripts, moved back end from a collection of PHP scripts to a Node.js API server, et al.

Back-end in Python/Django and Go (and a little Node for good measure), responsive mobile front-end in React for mobile. Role eventually evolved to include a lot of React work, managing/migrating from "Knockout" (old JS library) as necessary, and have my hands deep in the primary Django codebase. Learned Python on the job and became our internal expert on the server code. Also was our in-house expert on our React codebase.
