I'm a front end developer at Room & Board. I'm mainly responsible for the standard stuff for a developer, creating new features and maintaining the existing site. The fun is in the breakdown of what that actually means so here it is!
- Working with designers, business managers, project managers and UX (user experience) to deliver a web app that gives them the functionality they want while also being accessible, performant and reliable.
- Diagnose and fix the bugs that somehow end up in our project.
- Diagnose and fix performance issues which could involve optimizing a bottleneck in the code, figuring out how to reduce the HTML payload, lazy loading some of the codebase or... Ya there are a lot of things that can cause performance issues so I'm not going to be able to list them all here.
- Create and maintain unit tests to help reduce bugs, document code and reduce some of the nerves when committing your changes.
- Mentor our less experienced developers when they have a question or want help getting over a hurdle they've run into.
- Code review our pull requests before they hit the main branch
- Work with our QA department to create and maintain cypress tests for automated end to end testing.
- Research and evaluate whether our current technologies or approaches are still the right fit for us at that time.
- Help to set the standards for the team.
- Play pickleball
- Create, maintain and optimize the build process from the nextjs build configuration to the teamcity build and deploy process.
