Software Developer in San Diego, CA, United States

I built the native application for Air: a media asset management platform. It uses a REST API with Redux, hooks, and a Redux-saga front end.

Jenzy is a React Native application that sizes a kid's foot (native camera module) then suggests shoes for that child to buy which are guaranteed to fit.

This used a GraphQL back end and Redux and Redux-saga on the front end.

I was hired by Great Jones Street as a contractor to lead the development effort of their MVP. We launched the MVP to the iOS App Store in mid-September 2016. The Android version was released in mid-October 2016.

My team consisted of a project manager, a React Native developer and a Ruby developer. Although I was technically in more of a management role, I wrote nearly all of the React Native code for the first release and a large portion of the Rails code on the EngineYard serer. I built all of the components with the latest best practices for React and React Native.

I used Redux to manage the state of the application while using third-party services such as Branch.io to handle deep linking into the application, One Signal for complete push notification management, Bugsnag for error-tracking, Mixpanel and Google Analytics for the analytics, and BuddyBuild for CI.

I was hired as a front-end developer to help build out the MVP for the TOURRS app. It is an Ionic 1 application running off of Cordova.

I was the main developer on the application and built out the logic for the majority of the application. I used ES6 in combination with Ionic 1/Angular to keep up to date with the latest and greatest.

We wrote the web services in Parse's node environment called Cloud Code.

We used PouchDB to persist any user data from session to session.

I was hired by Sam's Club (Walmart) to help build out the front-end for the new mobile site in Angular 1. I used a TDD process to ensure that every component and service I built had 100% coverage to ensure that regressions were not made.

I also worked hand-in-hand with the designers on the team to ensure that their designs were in line with the best practices from a user experience standpoint as well as something that was technically feasible for what we were trying to accomplish.

I was hired back in 2012 to help Amazon build out their new app store in HTML5 and CSS3. I came onsite for a couple weeks at a time and worked along side their data and back-end services teams to help integrate the new design. This was before there was remote debugging on devices—I had to write all of my HTML and CSS blind. The builds took five minutes. It was such a challenging project because all the Android browsers rendered HTML and CSS somewhat differently.

Learning the ins-and-outs of the Android browser was one of the biggest challenges. We couldn't even use a reset CSS file—it was too tough on the device's performance. This was my first introduction to the mobile native web app.
