Software Developer in New York, NY, United States

Acted as one of the senior engineers responsible for delivering new features and adjusting existing functionality. I developed the front end in React with Next.js.

It performs transactions using one, or more, of many cryptocurrencies, allowing you to connect your digital wallet and have these persisted on the blockchain.

You are able to sort by various criteria and trade as desired. Many graphical representations of data are also provided with custom charting libraries by visx (Airbnb).

As a senior front-end engineer, I worked with all these facets, augmenting them in a performant and reliable way using React and Next.js in TypeScript.

I also introduced testing for the front end with Cypress.io and Jest and wrote a few of the initial tests, mocking data, responses, capturing snapshots, and using spies.

With React Native and Next.js on the front end, I was a senior engineer who acted as liaison and collaborated with an external team to bring extensive refactoring and introduce dedicated state management with MobX. Doing so allowed me to touch on various parts of the codebase and influence various application functionalities.

I helped deliver new features, debug builds on devices, enforce coding standards, build more robust types (using TypeScript), and helped create better architecture with the refactor in light of principles proposed in the Clean Architecture by Robert C. Martin (Uncle Bob).

The service allows users to curate different content on YouTube or Spotify, adding it to their "profiles," sending likes, comments (or notes), creating collections, and browsing "feeds" among other things.

This is primarily a React Native application (in closed beta at my time of departure) and uses animation with Reanimated2 (transitioning from the React Native Animated API). I also helped with this transition.

In addition, I worked with the back end, which was on Hasura at that time (backed by Supabase), helped establish a new data storage and delivery strategy, database schema, protocols, best practices, and contingencies.

I developed an app for an NYC diamond district wholesaler to maintain an online presence with an admin dashboard through which they can manage inventory and users in TypeScript throughout.

I created the front and back end from scratch, excluding third-party libraries, backed by AWS and a custom full-text search solution. For the front end, React was used with Redux for state management to create a responsive site for customers. For the back end, I had Node.js and Express.js orchestrating with AWS and MongoDB for a robust and secure solution.
