Led the building and architecture for a personalization system using NodeJS/React. - used by teams across the organization - system allows defining of schemas for UI components across mobile/web - content reuse and recommendations based on different objective functions - introduced snapshot testing, CICD optimizations, and maintained A or better code coverage - delivered a personalization solution after the company had a few failed attempts - service integrated with many apps, microservices, and data sources/sinksMaintained, extended, and refactored backend APIs - Updated activities APIs and data architecture to conform to modern practices Got to the bottom of many long standing issues across teams - deeplinking into mobile apps (discovered edge cases, delivered and tested solutions) - race conditions across services (found issues that caused rare bugs and evangelized my solutions) - dealt with bursts of network traffic that would overwhelm caching layers (introduced smoothing techniques and tweaked computation resources) - fixed, recovered, or deleted a lot of testing code - introduced a few engineers to OWASP, and found/fixed and reduced the attack surface for DDOS attacks - fought a year long battle to bring react to WW (now its go to frontend framework)

- Senior JavaScript Instructor- Lectured on React, Redux, React Native, React Router, Socket.io, Mongoose, Heroku, HTML/CSS/JQuery, Authentication, Express Middleware,Webpack, ES6-7, Promises, Browser performance, Web Security, JavaScript "good" and "bad" parts, algorithms, and scalability- Trained >200 developers ranging from students with graduate degrees in computer science from top schools around the world to high schoolers with little exposure to programming

Technical cofounder for Voo. Primary ownership over backend services, fundraising, and product direction.- Built two highly available and scalable cloud hosted NodeJS clusters behind reverse proxies (nginx) - Express RESTful API service for mobile and web application: redis, mongodb, twilio, push notifications, socket.io, passport, S3, imgur, mocha, chai, travis, google apis (geolocation, places, phone), and rollbar- Recommendation Engine service powered by NodeJS, NEO4j, redis, CICD/TDD, and a custom recommendation algorithm
