Leading the architecture and implementation of a complete overhaul of our frontend technologies from jQuery/Rails to React/Redux utilizing Rails’ webpacker to provide a SPA while maintaining legacy PostgreSQL backend wiring.

I developed tools and maintained the overall performance of Dish’s core sales applications before transferring to Dish's Sling TV team where I worked with closely with architects to design and build out the new engine handling Sling’s frontend. This included implementing micro frontend patterns using React, Redux, and S3. I also built new features requested from business on the Rails, AngularJS legacy code base.

I fulfilled an internship and contract work developing new features for the company’s internal file-storage API and signage app. I also worked closely with CTO Keith Hunniford and his team enhancing the application’s user experience.

Responsible for producing the 5:00 PM Saturday and Sunday newscasts.I led reporters, anchors, directors and editors on a daily basis to achieve the station’s goal of growing the ratings on the weekend while upholding the standards our viewers have come to expect.Along with implementing the ‘What’s Trending’ segment on Fox31 Denver weeknight newscasts, I produced Fox31’s aggressive Broncos post-game show.

From 2012 to 2014, I produced 4:30 to 6:00 of Good Day Oregon every morning Monday through Friday. As a producer, 4:30 to 6:00 was consistently the highest rated morning news show in the market. My job consists of stacking, writing and completing the 90 minute newscast every morning. In addition to my daily production responsibilities, I always took the initiative to grow my skills while strengthening Good Day Oregon. I created several elements in my show that have had a positive reception including Good Day Pets.

I produced the 6:00 pm and 10:00 pm shows for News Channel Five (KALB) in Alexandria, Louisiana. In addition to producing, I created several stingers and promotional graphics for the station that aired on a weekly basis. I constructed and designed the station’s first “preshow,” used to grab the viewer’s attention and tease the upcoming newscast.
