I managed frontend development for a team of 6 UI engineers within a 10-engineer product team, while also developing and supporting new and existing features myself. Collaborated with CEO and VP to implement processes mitigating development risks and aligning the company with SOC2 requirements. Reviewed Product requirements, created development timelines, coordinated UI and Middleware (MW) work with other development teams and Product representatives. Led the initiative to re-design UI architecture into a modern application.Developed tools for the E-Discovery process. Their unique Predict technology uses machine learning to locate documents that are relevant to the matter being reviewed - reducing cost. This is commonly referred to as Technology Assisted Review (TAR).The Insight UI that we develop utilizes JavaScript, Webpack, Node, NPM, ESLint, StyleLint, Flow, Handlebars, D3, some jQuery, and an in-house created development environment. For our new products starting in 2018, we selected the React framework, along with Redux, Immer, Jest, and Cypress to standardize our UI development environment. Experiments with Jenkins, GitLab, Bitbucket, and Bamboo to find the right fit for our CI/CD environment are on-going.In 2016, we completed a complete redesign of the UI architecture where we took outdated application with no dependency management and created a managed package architecture using webpack, Node and NPM. As part of this, we reduced our code base by nearly 20k lines (to ~90k), created our own development suite, introduced coding standards via automatic code linting, and documented the entire project. All of this was accomplished while still delivering new features to our customers. In 2017 we leveraged Jenkins, Node, Jest, MSBuild and SonarQube to enhance our test and deployment process.
