About

I started in October of 2021 as a Senior Software Engineer at Netflix. I was most recently a Principal Software Engineer at NBCUniversal, for NBC News Digital. I piloted the technical architecture and execution of NBC News Curator, a powerful and versatile tool used by our editorial team to design and organize content for all of our brand assets including 9 brand websites, the NBC News mobile app, and an OTT (Apple TV) app. Prior to that, I started as a UX Lead at L2, Inc. in November 2015, with role responsibilities ranging from Lead Front-End Developer to UX Designer to Product Manager. I worked with Essextec (formerly Gemini Systems) as a UX/UI Design and Front-End Development Consultant. My client for the majority of my time there was at the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA). I graduated in 2012 from the University of Pennsylvania with a Bachelor of Science in Engineering degree, and a major in Digital Media Design. ………………………………………… » Languages and Frameworks: JavaScript (ES6+), React, HTML5, CSS3, SASS, NodeJS, PostgreSQL, Webpack, jQuery, Backbone, Marionette, SQL, Python, Flask » UX Process: Interaction Design, Visual Design, Rapid Prototyping, Information Architecture, Usability Testing, User Research, Scrum/Kanban Agile Methodology » Design Software: Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, Balsamiq Mockups
