- Assisted in onboarding new members of the team and improved the onboarding documentation.
All Roles
Oversplode Inc

- Protected against regression and buggy releases with automated testing and CI tools such as Jest, Backstop, and CircleCI.

Senior Developer, Web Developer, Programmer
Various Companies
- Hundreds of bug fixes, performance improvements, and optimizations.
- Recommended, designed, and implemented a Kimball-style data warehouse. The warehouse addressed performance and accuracy concerns that had arisen from the pre-existing data structure without compromising data integrity.
