Was frontend lead for 4 teams at Palo Alto Networks

Worked with multiple tech leads, product managers, and designers to break down projects into digestible frontend tasks for the team

Advised and mentored engineers around AngularJS, component styling, and library refactoring

Mostly used AngularJS, Typescript, SCSS + Tailwind for frontend product development. Worked with Jenkins, Docker, Google Cloud Console, and MySQL for backend tasks and deployment.

Emily Dann Manager Review (FY23) - "I have really appreciated Derek’s attention to detail throughout the PCS reports project and the way he has continuously asked for clarification on things from design + product. As already mentioned, Derek is by far the most Sr. frontend engineer on the team, so certain things tend to get missed if Derek does not bring them up."

Used React.js, Redux, Redux-Sagas for the majority of the view logic (some AngularJS)

Used ES6, TypeScript, and SCSS to code in.

Used Webpack, Grunt, and Babel for transpiling and building

Used Enzyme, Mocha, and Cypress for testing

Helped transform much of the codebase from AngularJS to React.js

Worked with product to plan features for each project

Worked with design to add and style components to the component library

Wrote process and good practices documentation for other developers

Attended and assisted in engineering recruiting efforts at out of state university job fairs
