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!

Experiences
  • As a frontend specialist, I helped set best practices and migrate from a legacy code base (that include old class bass react, relay, and a non-unified codebase to a modern functional react, with hooks, Apollo GQL, with more opinionated stances on clear code and testing)
  • I also developed on core features that were launch directed to customers and users (include users from big tech companies such as Uber, Asana, Reddit, Pinterest, Twitch, and etc)
  • As a senior software engineer, my responsibilities included writing feature code end-to-end, backend and frontend, as well mentoring other
  • As an fullstack IC, with backend-heavy teammates, I taught each teammate frontend, and implemented end-to-end projects
  • I code-owned and created from scratch multiple frontend apps and their respective backends, for multiple partners: Apple, AT&T, BT, EE, Rogers, Magic Leap, Google, Sonos. This included partner-facing apps, customer-facing apps, and internal-facing apps.
  • Fleshed out our A/B testing framework, but was an agent of change for data-based decision making within the org. (Moonlighting as a data aggregator)
  • Created a framework for handling Customer Communications (email and SMSs) across the entire order lifecycle

  • As a IC, I built absurdly robust javascript features:
    1. Drag&Drop File Upload feature more robust than Gmail's and Facebook's in two weeks:
      We tested by dropping 57 files into Gmails and froze their UI; dropped the same files into Fb and froze their UI; ours finished the upload cycle for all 57 filesVideo Demo On LinkedIn :D
    1. Attachment Preview feature (much like Slack's) in 2.5 weeks:
      handles previews
      file type detection
      mass collection of files being drag&dropped
    1. 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.
    1. Connections Requests in 2 days:
      Basically an equivalent of "Linkedin's Connection's Requests"
    1. Connections Module Tab Manager in a days:
      Basically a tab view which partitions and filtered your connections by different types.
    1. Backend Emulator utility, using browser cookies, for the entire FE to use in half a day:
      As a result we could do super fast iteration on the front-End without depending on the Back-End!
    1. Grid Resize Detection API in a few hours.
      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.
    1. Mark All As Read-feature in a few hours.
      (Similar to Gmail's feature).
    1. Room Details Panel-feature in two days.
