Collaborated with stealth startup founder/CEO to help develop the vision and build the prototype for a new social media app. Duties included architecture design, end-to-end feature development (including frontend and backend development), and debug, which were performed as a mix of solo coding and pair programming.

Freelance Software Engineer

Deploy lead for bi-weekly deploy cycles. Coordinated with engineers and QA to ensure all outgoing features had been fully verified and outstanding bugfixes had been merged in. Communicated outgoing feature set to product for further communication to stakeholders.

Feature lead for Open House Tool, allowing users to define important questions and generate a dynamic, responsive sub-app to be used on a mobile device at property showings. Shared full-stack development, owned project management and feature delivery, mentored a junior engineer.

Migrated our backend services from Heroku to Firebase Functions, with a teammate.

Continued first responder responsibilities

Senior Software Engineer

Feature lead for Document Hotspotting, allowing users to upload and hotspot documents for signature. Owned frontend development, project management and feature delivery, including coordination with product and QA.

Feature lead for Escrow Timeline, allowing users to define important transaction dates and sync them to Google Calendar. Owned backend development including API integration, project management and feature delivery, mentored a junior engineer.

First responder for dozens of customer emergencies, requiring quick thinking, efficient debug and team coordination skills. Learned how to quickly identify a fix, evaluate and mitigate risks, and pull the trigger on necessary hotfixes.

Software Engineer

Led a team of three (3) engineers to quickly and effectively generate memory built-in-self-test (MBIST) collateral for over one hundred (100) IPs over the course of two (2) SoC projects.

Implemented RTL for new features and integrated one of the clock and reset units for a cable market SoC. Maintained full ownership of design from inception through productization.

Organized and communicated RF/SRAM/ROM requirements for the SoC, as well as served as first point of contact and memory IP expert for about twenty (20) SoC integrators

Received three (3) Division Recognition Awards (DRA) for results orientation, quality execution and teamwork.

SOC Design Engineer

Selected by Intel to participate in leadership pipeline program comprising of three (3) rotations throughout the company over the course of eighteen months. Ramped quickly in each new team to produce quality results in each six-month rotation.

First rotation: Test framework development for pre-Si validation on FPGA.
Second rotation: GPIO RTL design for power management IC (PMIC).
Third rotation: Benchmark execution and analysis on Intel and competitor devices.

Rotation Engineer

Most of my frontend work has been in React, including multiple enterprise level web apps.  I love taking a design or functional spec and breaking it up into the component puzzle pieces.  I do my best to look ahead at future needs and build components to be reusable wherever possible.

Most of my professional backend experience has been working in Node.js

Most of my professional database work has been in Firebase; primarily in Realtime Database and to a lesser extent in Firestore.  I'm also very comfortable building APIs using Firebase functions.

Professionally: 4 years, personally: ???.  I started dabbling in HTML and CSS back in my Neopets days, and I've been futzing around with it in some form ever since.  I love standardizing and DRYing out CSS sheets, determining and following class conventions, and getting fancy and functional with things like variables and formulas.

I began learning React Native this year to help a bootstrap an app, so I'm still learning, but I'm a documentation wizard, so we will find the solution together!
