● Streamlined data collection by writing a TypeScript library that overhauled site-wide user tracking. This reduced events reported by 90% and facilitated better data analytics.
● Improved SEO on The Muse’s job board by revamping metadata. This effort improved job listing visibility in Google’s job widget. We saw a 70% uplift in job views and job applications since Q1 2022.
● Added experimentation frameworks to a React based website to gauge performance of new interactive features.
● Wrote tech briefs based on product documentation to establish technical direction for the engineering team.

● Working with large US transit organizations that total 440 million annual riders, we used Python, Django, AWS, and React to build a system that consolidates real-time train and bus arrivals, system alerts, PSAs, and ads. Clients included CTA, SEPTA, NJT, and LA Metro.
● I built user interface component libraries with React and Redux that help over 1.4 million daily commuters find their way in cities across the country.
● Built React applications to develop and maintain client and public facing user experiences for retail and museum spaces, such as Hudson Yards and the Edward M. Kennedy Institute.
● Combined near-field technology, websockets, React, and augmented reality to prototype the shopping experience of the future for Walmart.
● Created bots for Google Home and Amazon Alexa using Javascript and AWS functions to demonstrate Intersection’s developmental capacity in conversational interfaces.

● Learned standard web technology and coding practices including Sinatra, Rails, Ruby, SASS, Rspec, JQuery, Backbone, D3, Github, Ajax, Json, and Node.js.
● Practiced web development 12 hours a day, creating sophisticated web applications.
● Practiced collaboration with developers of varying skill.
