  • Sep 2015 - Nov 2016

  Software Engineer for iodine.com, which was a free to use, ad-free, drug information and side effects website with content written by actual pharmacists. - Built iodine using React, chartjs and atomic css. The atomic css was generated by a tool I wrote in Stylus. Heavy focus on performance optimization and SEO in order to drive search traffic to the site. This included use of memcache on the serve, implementing the Fastly CDN and stale-while-revalidate header in VCL, and using tools like SpeedCurve to identify performance bottlenecks. - Was the Front-End engineer for the initial launch of https://open.fda.gov, using Gatsby. Built a modern, fast, usable site to 18f design standards, while meeting government regulations regarding accessibility and IE support which required testing in VirtualBox. - I also contributed to our Start app, a mental health wellness app written in React-Native. We were acquired by GoodRx in late 2016.

  - Was the FE engineer on the 2014 site redesign, a complicated grid layout with 5 breakpoints - Implemented unit and visual regression tests, advocated for modernizing development processes - Worked with editorial and design teams on building out long-form stories on a tight deadline. I was asked to implement designs that worked at 60fps on all devices despite huge images, parallaxing, fade ins/outs, animations, etc. I could only use raw JS in the browser, so I relied on RAF, document fragments, picture tags with srcset, etc as needed.
