> Senior Frontend Software Engineer at Adobe

Location: Lehi, Utah, United States
Profile: https://flows.cv/corylarcade

I love developing. That's it in a nutshell, but you probably want more details.

Since Nov. 2021, I've been working at Adobe as a Senior Frontend Software Engineer. I've worked on Adobe's Creative Cloud Home site (creativecloud.adobe.com) and Discover Hub site (creativecloud.adobe.com/discover) for about 1.5 years, and then worked on Adobe's Learn on the Web site (creativecloud.adobe.com/learn) for 1.5 years. Each are their own projects. I've been fortunate to have been part of multiple content migrations, a new domain migration for Learn on the Web, and implemented numerous UI features/updates along the way.

Before Adobe, I worked at iFit where I developed and maintained the webviews that are used on different iFit mobile screens (such as ellipticals, treadmills, etc). The machine had a mobile tablet that would provide workout information before/after the user began/finished their workout, and I worked on those webviews.

From Sep. 2019 to Mar. 2020, I worked at Thumbtack developing and maintaining Thumbtack's help site (help.thumbtack.com). I learned a lot about CMSs during this time, and migrating content from Salesforce to Contentful.

Also from April 2020 - June 2020, I obtained a User Experience (UX) Nanodegree from Udacity because I feel knowing how to provide better user experiences and collaborate with UX Engineers is important.

From January 2019 to Aug. 2019, I bootstrapped a business working on a budgeting app. Being the sole employee, I'm super happy to be making steady progress with the app, and constantly learning new things both within my realm of expertise in software development, and outside my realm of expertise in many areas.

From April 2017 to Dec. 2018, I worked at Cricut as a Frontend Developer. I developed and maintained Cricut's site. I learned a lot about working with Electron with React to build desktop apps.

Before that I worked for Needle Inc. as their sole Frontend Developer. I was responsible for all-things front end including managing all frontend projects in Github, code quality checks, working daily with a UX designer, reviewing UI designs, building better client and in-house web app experiences. 

Previously to that, I worked for FamilySearch.org as a Frontend Web Developer. I worked on building better on-boarding experiences for our users. Lots of UI feature work. I routinely performed user experience testing with our users, and built in tracking into the website to gather analytics.

Here's to talking to you soon!

Frontend web developer. I worked primarily developing and maintaining Thumbtack's help site (help.thumbtack.com).

Had the pleasure of working with one other web developer, content creators, and a technical program manager to do this.
