Since 2018 I have worked as a remote consultant for a number of clients. I generally provide services as a full-time team member.

New York, New York, United States

I was technical lead for the front-end experience of Bread's next-generation platform for pay-over-time financial offerings to consumers. This included a Next.js-based qualification and checkout application as well as the design and development of a javascript SDK used by merchants.

I worked with SoulCylce's engineering team on their main front-end experience for membership and sign up management, and helped introduce a new Next.js-based home page.

In 2018 I worked as a remote consultant with Condé Nast. I continued to support the Copilot team that I worked with when I was an employee (see below), focussing on a platform extensibility project.

New York City

Condé Nast's Copilot project is an in-house digital publishing platform that powers over 20 properties including Vogue, Wired, New Yorker and Pitchfork. I joined the team in 2014 focussing on the client-side editorial application, a single page application written in Javascript using the Ember.js framework. I stewarded the project's transition to Ember-Cli and successive upgrades from version 1.6 to 3.2. I oversaw the development of an extensive testing suite for the project, and its subsequent upgrades. As a senior member of a team of about 10 engineers I balanced pragmatic decision making with an abundance of enthusiasm for the technology while mentoring my teammates.

I was the senior developer on a large Ruby on Rails ecommerce application for this Manhattan-based hardware startup. I was responsible for software design, TDD-based implementation, cloud-based devops, and managing code contributions from external and remote teams. I collaborated with multiple teams within the organization to fulfill feature requirements from initial requirements exploration through specing, design, development, Q/A and deployment.

I worked on a variety of software applications for several consultancy clients, providing them with full-stack web applications developed in Ruby on Rails. I played the role of lead developer from project inception and design, following through with iterative development sprints. I also provided extended maintenance for long-lived applications.

In addition to co-founding and operating an independent record label for over thirteen years I was responsible for the multiple iterations of the company’s web presence, developing custom e-commerce platforms in Perl, PHP and Ruby on Rails.
