Full-stack Engineer, Front-End Javascript Specialty, Extremely Avid IC, Technical Team Lead, Ex-Mathematics Researcher, MBA
I'm deeply team oriented: at Enjoy, I was on a team with only Back-End engineers and I ramped up all four of them to be able to deliver production Front-End code (before moving on to a different teams).
I love holding key responsibilities: at Enjoy, I code-owned and created from scratch multiple frontend/backends apps for multiple big partners: Apple, AT&T, BT, EE, Rogers, Magic Leap, Google, Sonos. This included partner-facing apps, customer-facing apps, and internal-facing apps.
I am a relentless hard-worker:
after 6.5 months, I became our Technical Team Lead, at Symphony.
I am an extremely avid IC:
on top of being a Team Lead, I produced nearly 90% of the code for 4 sprints straight.
I care really deeply about being an empathetic co-worker:
I helped 4 contractors ramp up even though 3 of them were on different teams. I also helped my friend get visibility for his work and as a result got a full-time position!

handles previews
file type detection
mass collection of files being drag&dropped

- Logging Utility in 4 weeks:
API is consumable from the entire Front-EndExposes an 'Entry Point' through the browsers so our customers debug with technical support on the fly!Aggregated data into a Kibana databaseSeverity levels can be easily changedAs a result, this logger exposed several fragilities in our code architecture, deployment process, and allowed us to pin point bugs with ease and precision.

Because Symphony's app is base a on a complex grid layout, we need complex resize detection, beyond css's @media query screen size, we needed this to detect complex resizing.
