About

I've always had a passion for the arts and technology. UI engineering allows me to combine those passions in a fulfilling way. With over 16 years of professional experience, I have also developed a passion for leadership, mentorship, and guiding the business to set and reach its goals. I believe my experience and perspective allow me to consider implementation details and big picture trade offs simultaneously, leading to elegant solutions and clear cross-team communication. Buzzwords I'll probably overuse this year: ‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾  ◦ Composable, reusable, testable, alignment, trade-offs, leverage, velocity, enablement Things I look for in a job: ‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾  ◦ Autonomy  ◦ High impact on the business and product direction  ◦ The opportunity to lead and learn  ◦ Co-workers with diversity of thought and life experience  ◦ Categories I find interesting: entertainment, music, design, environment/earth Specialties: ‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾  ◦ Considering cost-benefit tradeoffs, macro and micro  ◦ Achieving alignment  ◦ Leadership and mentorship  ◦ Application architecture  ◦ Developer experience  ◦ Testing strategy  ◦ UI & UX sensibility  ◦ Performance: Engineering for CE devices with significant CPU/memory constraints  ◦ Problem solving Specific technologies: ‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾ React, Redux, Node.js, TypeScript, Jest, Ember.js, Backbone.js, YUI, jQuery, Underscore.js, Handlebars.js, RxJS, RequireJS, Grunt, Gulp, LESS, SASS, Bootstrap, Font Awesome, responsive design, QUnit, testswarm, CI, Atlassian, Stash, Bamboo, Confluence, Git, AMD, ES6 modules, MVC, MVVM, MV*, components, separation of concerns
