## Work Experience
### Front End Software Engineer II @ Ollie
Jan 2025 – Present

### Front End Software Engineer @ Ollie
Jan 2023 – Present | New York, New York, United States

### Software Engineer @ DockerWatch
Jan 2022 – Jan 2023 | New York, New York, United States
- Implemented React with hooks to manage state and side effects in an intuitive and organized way, optimizing the performance of functional components by avoiding unnecessary re-renders
- Combined Daisy UI library and Tailwind CSS to design appealing and well-structured UI components, leveraging the flexibility of predesigned UI elements and a utility-first CSS framework for custom design
- Implemented a Node.js/Express server to facilitate efficient data transfer between the Docker Daemon, database and client via sensor and API integration, resulting in improved performance and scalability
- Used InfluxDB to effectively store and retrieve historical metrics of Docker containers at regular intervals, allowing for real-time monitoring and analysis of container performance
- Utilized Chart.js to clearly and effectively display key container performance metrics over time, resulting in an organized, easy-to-read, and visually appealing representation of data
- Implemented Docker to design, deploy, and manage a multi-container application, resulting in a scalable, secure, and isolated environment for the application to run on
- Utilized Cypress for end-to-end testing of the application, allowing for automated testing of UI interactions and browser behavior to ensure proper performance in a straightforward manner
- Built the application with Webpack to create production-ready code with faster load-times through the use of hot module reloading, ES6+ transpilation, and minification/uglification to decrease file size
- Product developed under tech accelerator OS Labs (opensourcelabs.io)

### Job-File | Keep track of past and pending job applications @ Open Source
Jan 2022 – Jan 2023 | New York, New York, United States
- Used React Router to handle client-side routing, resulting in a dynamic, multi-page web application with clean and easily maintainable URLs, allowing for improved user experience
- Utilized Express to handle client/server requests to various endpoints, resulting in a modular and easily readable codebase by leveraging middleware functions to keep the codebase organized 
- Implemented bcrypt, username/password validation and session management through the use of express middleware  for improved security of the application

### Ripe Potatoes | Write and edit movie reviews @ Open Source
Jan 2022 – Jan 2022 | New York, New York, United States
- Utilized  React to create a highly performant web application, by leveraging virtual DOM manipulation, reusable components, and unidirectional data flow for easier debugging
- Applied Redux to seamlessly manage the application state in a single place and take advantage of Redux DevTools for easier debugging and state visualization
- Implemented a NoSQL database to store reviews, leveraging its flexibility and ability to read large amounts of data quickly, resulting in a more performant storage solution than a relational database

### Taskr | Manage and monitor pending and resolved help-desk tickets @ Open Source
Jan 2022 – Jan 2022 | New York, New York, United States
- Leveraged React to construct a dynamic UI by utilizing its component-based architecture to keep the codebase modular, resulting in a dynamic and responsive web application
- Employed React Testing Library to identify possible UI flaws by testing components through the use of event methods to  simulate how the user would interact with the application
- Used PostgreSQL to ensure ACID compliance and establish connections between admins and users through the use of a relational database allowing admins to update the status of various user tickets
