Main front-end resource for multiple web-based projects. Also responsible for training and mentoring junior developers working on the front-end code bases.

• Worked on the research and development team investigating a complete rewrite of a Gantt chart based scheduling application. The prototypes were built using TypeScript, React, Redux, and Webpack. I used techniques such as virtualized tables to handle rendering large data sets.
• Completely rewrote a legacy analytics application, porting the code base from ExtJS to React/Redux built using Webpack. It also went from having no test coverage to almost complete test coverage.
• Implemented mandatory coding standards, test coverage, and code reviews for all new front-end projects. This includes custom ESLint configurations and Git hooks.
• Created training documentation for interns and new hires working on the front-end code bases.
• Helped advise the development team as they transitioned from SVN to Git, and from Redmine to Jira.

Front-End Engineer · Bronto Software

July 2013 – November 2015

Responsible for building and maintaining the front-end code for the company's core application.

• First project was a total re-write of the front-end used in the segmentation system. This was ulitmately built using Backbone after evaluating a variety of other libraries/frameworks.
• Led the effort to implement a front-end build process using Grunt.
• Led the effort to modularize the JavaScript code used by the front-end team. Initially, I used AMD with requireJS, but ultimately switched to using commonJS with Browserify.
• Implemented dependency management workflow for front-end code using Bower and NPM.
• Set up the environment and developed the process for writing unit tests for the JavaScript code. Testing is now an integral part of the software development process for the front-end team and tests are run as part of a larger build process.
• Developed and implemented a series of scripts used as Git hooks to ensure code quality prior to committing code. This includes style checks, linting, and a node script for comparing file mtimes.

• Developed the front-end for the HTML help, including the main UI, a table of contents (using jQuery), tree navigation (using jQuery), and built-in search (using jQuery with Apache Solr as the search engine).
