I've worked mainly in JavaScript (React and Node) and SCSS, on shopping-related products. With a background in books and writing, I'm a strong communicator with both engineers and non-engineering stakeholders. I work best in creative, collaborative environments.
I create templates and reusable modules for Dotdash Meredith’s 40+ publications (including InStyle, Martha Stewart Living, Food & Wine, and more).
I implemented feature requests and style updates, which were based on Figma templates created by our Design team. I was part of a small international team with 4 engineers.
As a front-end engineer on Casper's Shop team, I worked with Design and Product to build CMS-friendly, React-based pages. Our team ran multiple A/B tests for promotions and product launches.
As a front-end engineer on the Shopping team, I was a primary front-end contributor to the product detail and product list pages. I also helped update our CMS to save editors time when creating products.
As one of two engineers on the then smaller Shopping team, I helped create a programmatic weekly department email that contained statistics about the top products on Refinery29's site. I also contributed to a proof-of-concept in which we used a third-party API to backfill Refinery29's database with more complete product information.
While at GA, I learned how to build user-friendly games and websites using JavaScript, Ruby, MongoDB, Express, Angular and Node.
