As part of this rewrite, I optimized pipeline times, integrated our Cypress testing into each pipeline (parallelized w/Cypress Dashboard) and enabled one-click deployment for branches to all our environments (short of production).\n- reduced bundle sizes for our React SPA, which reduced initial load times (by roughly 75%).",

This project used XML transformations, Node conversion pipelines and Ember. It also gave me chance to try out browser APIs like the MutationObserver API. Pretty cool.\n- built features and fixed bugs in a live-events application. This project uses javascript/jQuery and D3, but where possible I tried to apply some React-like principles to improve performance (e.g. comparison of previous/next values to avoid unnecessary DOM updates).\n- rebuilt a client's front-end from scratch with React/Redux/React-Router/Styled Components to use the latest best practices and ensure they have a solid foundation to build on.",
