I have been a software engineer at Integrated Digital Solutions since May 2019. I work with a 20-person team to build a TV & video streaming application across devices in React-Native using You.i TV engine to unify multiple codebases into a single codebase for DirecTV.

SELECTED ACHIEVEMENTS
•	Eliminate animations and optimize code, improving load times by 30% on slower iOS and Fire TV devices.
•	Lead development of two features – user settings page and geolocation, refactoring parts of codebase for simplicity and ease of maintenance.
•	Investigate bug tickets across devices and use Jest, eliminating 20% of bugs on feature.
•	Create a dashboard using a React front-end, Go microservices deployed using Kubernetes, and an Elasticsearch back-end to quickly identify streaming-related problems with data ingestion.
•	Integrated back-end and front-end processes using AWS technologies with a React front-end and auth0 authentication. 

TECHNICAL PROFICIENCY
JavaScript, Typescript, HTML, Go, Python, React, React Native, Graphql, Kubernetes, Auth0, AWS Technologies.
