• Migrated event configuration options from config files into a SQL database and integrated with express service via custom middleware streamlining the events management process• Developed granular event filtering and sorting experience leveraging the Redux Form onChange API and the React-Router history API, increasing traffic to our public events listings• Leveraged Redux by lifting banner display from local state, preventing accidental duplication of banner displays while simultaneously enabling the use of a single banner component, improving developer experience as new features are added and reducing technical debt• Successfully launched a new online program for the organization, focused on part-time learning while enhancing the immersive culture, block-driven development, and engineering empathy at the core of Codesmith’s values• Professed technical communication, engineering best practices, and core JavaScript concepts to online classroom of 20+ students• Lead the organization on updating proprietary curriculum and instruction best practices to lead the industry in online learning• Mentored new engineers through onboarding into the Codesmith codebase, providing context and motivation for implementation details and improved the quality of on-going work through a detailed code-review process, improving the quality of pull-requests• Consulted on a variety of open-source projects from ideation to launch, pushing teams to achievable scopes for viable products• Led public JavaScript workshops to 80+ attendees weekly on closure, recursion, asynchronicity, OOP, and higher-order functions

• Implemented Redux-Starter-Kit mitigating prop-drilling in complex legacy codebase and improve code clarity while maintaining an extensible approach to state management on our rapidly growing e-commerce platform• Engineered custom redux middleware reducing superfluous connections between asynchronous actions and side effects within thunk implementations and instead establish a clear, reducer-like solution improving maintainability of codebase• Introduced Styled Components to codebase to mitigate growing concerns with the ‘append-only’ approach to CSS while also improving developer confidence, speed, and site performance• Utilized Formik state management and Yup validation for checkout forms enabling a seamless user experience and developer workflow• Established new Bitbucket pipeline between CI/CD and development environments improving accessibility to front end builds for QA team

• Employed GraphQL to reduce round trips to the server by utilizing declarative data fetching queries to retrieve relevant data• Engineered React to ensure efficient rendering to the DOM by benefiting from Reacts declarative nature and tree reconciliation algorithm• Published and maintained software that aims to provide developers a deep insight into their GraphQL queries through extensive depictions of query and resolver relationships, allowing for in-depth effective runtime and query analysis• Deployed with AWS CloudFront to reduce file size via preconfigured gzip process and improve network latency by utilizing location-aware content delivery and backing up application logic in the cloud to maximize availability of resources• Implemented Redux as the single source of truth to ensure data immutability, eliminate complex prop drilling and unnecessary re-renders of components, and utilize pure reducer functions to allow for features like time-travel debugging• Leveraged React-Vis to dynamically generate SVG data and map the distinct relationships between GraphQL queries, resolvers, and results for subsequent analysis of performance and potential bottlenecks in complex GraphQL executions• Constructed NoSQL databases to store persistent data and prioritize data access speed, minimizing latency of database round trips and fortifying future horizontal scalability(Open source tool incubated at Codesmith)
