Designed and built a dynamic pricing front-end app to execute pricing strategy, easing bottlenecks of hand-written queries by two power users to implement changes on behalf of a group of 20.

Empowered pricing analysts by providing data in context rather than in a legacy database. Visualized date ranges for pricing strategies on a Gantt timeline, dramatically easing scheduling.

Reviewed code and occasionally contributed to a Rails JSON API standard back end.

Wrote a 30-page user manual covering all features with text and screenshots.

Built client-facing Vue 3 UI to manage video content, including video, clip, and collections viewing and editing. Customized sidebase/Nuxt.js/Auth library to support domain-based multi-tenancy.

Enabled easy code reuse across projects by setting up monorepo and separating shared libraries and apps. Semantic versioning with changesets library. Hand-rolled Bitbucket CI pipelines publishing to npm, linting and verifying Vue production builds.

Upgraded Yarn iOS apps (full and messenger tray UI) to work with current Swift and iOS versions, making publishing new versions to the app store possible. Updated the look and feel of iOS apps with new designs and branding.

Worked on video processing pipeline improvements, invoking Google Cloud functions from existing Rails code.

Designed and built the customer service and operations web app, which tracked the order lifecycle from placement to fulfillment/returns, offering a fast lookup to CX reps live on the phone with customers (React front end, Node.js GraphQL back end).

Replaced a scripted billing and manual refund system with an automated system to calculate and execute charges and refunds for orders with refund business logic unique to Buffy. Integrated with Shopify and validated with an extensive test suite.

Wrote a Node.js app to ingest Shopify eCommerce storefront data in real-time and with periodic reconciliation after the initial historical backfill. Data sources include webhooks, REST API calls, GraphQL API calls, JSON files, and BigQuery datasets.

Since I primarily write web applications for private clients, much of my portfolio is not externally accessible. One recent project, though, can be found in the Apple App Store.

While at One Kings Lane, I was brought in to rescue a retail shopping app for iOS, which was running late and repeatedly missing deadlines.

Immediately, I jumped in, learned Swift, and rewrote the major features, including the product detail page and category navigation.

I worked closely with the product manager and UX designer to clarify and document evolving requirements. I stepped up to make hard decisions on what to keep and what to cut to deliver the project on time.

I introduced and enforced software development best practices to stabilize the project, including tracking all Jira tasks and continuously releasing them to the QA.

Data for the app came from a 3rd-party eCommerce platform. I designed the APIs, documented them in Swagger, and ensured their timely implementation by our partner.

We launched this app in time for the 2018 holiday season, and it has maintained a consistent average rating of 4+ stars ever since.

The Toptal React Academy is an exclusive learning program that teaches the React framework to select members of the Toptal network. After a month of study, all graduates are tasked with completing a 30-40 hour final project to build and deliver a React app from scratch. The above is a walkthrough of my final project.
