Frontend Developer: 2020 - present
I've worked mostly in eCommerce, for my current employer Luxury Brand Partners. I develop and maintain several of our brand sites, and add smaller features to other smaller properties and marketing sites as well. My focus here has been on performance, as I inherited several sites that were heavy on third-party libraries, no code-splitting, and generally not optimized for mobile (which is 80%+ of our users). In my time, I've reduced bundle sizes by over 60% on multiple sites, and led internal efforts to implement a mobile-first content policy for images and videos. I've also developed several key features for our customers (bulk-ordering system on our Pro site), and multiple high-end interactive product launch experiences for various brands. Stack:
- HTML, CSS, SVG, SASS
- native JS, VueJS, NodeJS, jQuery (when forced :) )
- Webpack, Rollup
- Vue Storefront, Shopify
Wedding Photographer: 2017 - 2020
Worked for my wife at her photography business, Cassi Claire Photography. Traveled a lot, took a lot of pictures, ate a lot of croissants and wedding dinners, and made a lot of friends and memories along the way. Unfortunately, COVID put a hard stop on events for a while, which led me to web development.
- Co-owned a small business
- Many hats worn: high-touch customer service, bookkeeping, CRM administration, videography.
Field Engineer
In my previous life, I was a medical field service engineer for 5 years. I installed and maintained state-of-the-art blood chemistry analyzers and associated robotic sample management systems in NYC and NJ.
- Complex problem solving involving root-cause analysis, and deep knowledge of electro-mechanical-fluidic systems, plus a dash of chemistry and statistics
- Also a lot of high-touch customers service in a high-pressure environment, the systems I worked on determined the path of patient care, and my accounts included world-renowned hospitals in NYC and the largest clinical chemistry facility in North America
