- Led a team of engineers to develop and maintain the primary client-facingGraphQL API for all NBC Universal applications and associated brands (SyFy,Bravo, Oxygen, E, etc). Written in Node.js and deployed to an AWS ECS cluster,it receives over 1.9 thousand requests per second while serving personalized,presentational data with average response times between 300-500 milliseconds.- Consolidated business logic from a number of platform applications into asingle presentational API, increasing efficiency and control over theintroduction of new features, simplifying experimentation with feature flags andA/B tests, and reducing variance between platform implementations.- Ensured the technical success of my team by defining technical direction,championing best practices, teaching, overseeing work, and providing assistance. - Provided technical leadership and guidance across teams for the adoption ofGraphQL and the presentational API pattern.- Defined technical architecture for new data pipelines/APIs and oversaw theirimplementation.- Continually adapted existing systems to accommodate new and evolvingrequirements including internationalization, multi-brand experiences, data storemigrations, and the incorporation of NBC Sports.- Identified performance bottlenecks across systems and defined strategies inpreparation for large traffic events, ensuring stability under extreme load.During the Super Bowl LVI halftime show, for example, the primary client-facingAPI saw 1.65 million requests per second without system failures or increaseto response time.- Created and continue to maintain a number of open source Node.js packagespublished to NPM and GitHub.

- Performed the roles of architect, technical lead, and software engineer onprojects for clients such as NBC Universal, Entertainment Weekly, Stanford Deanof Research, University of California Davis, Twit.tv, Frontline MedicalCommunications and others.- Ensured project success by defining technical direction and overseeingdevelopment with an eye toward quality, maintainability, and businessrequirements.- Built unique and complex websites with customized features and appearance tomeet client objectives.- Collaborated with client stakeholders to discover and define projectrequirements.- Organized and led the Four Kitchens JavaScript Practice Group — an internal,bi-weekly meetup focused on JavaScript education and professional development.

- Led a team of engineers to implement new features, address bugs, and performregular maintenance on three separate e-commerce sites.- Led efforts to address poor site performance, reducing server response time toan average of 500ms.- Developed custom Drupal modules and themes.- Led the adoption of an agile development process, resulting in increasedefficiency.- Created brand identities for prima-coffee.com and primasupply.com.
