Team Jan 2020 – Jan 2020 | Los Angeles, California, United States • Nominated for the Productivity Booster award at React Open Source Awards 2020 • Leveraged React core reconciliation algorithm, React-Fiber, to access and manipulate components state and render times extending dev tool support to applications that use React-Hooks, Context API, and React-Router, in a collaborative and agile development team focusing on building performant and user oriented open source dev tools • Converted to Typescript legacy code envisioning development ramp up and empathy to onboarding engineers increasing debug efficiency and scalability by enforcing static typing with strict object interfaces that rest the system • Implemented TDD using Jest and Enzyme to build unit and integration tests leveraging methods as mock functions, shallow render, static rendering markup, DOM rendering with interactive watch mode, informative failure messages, and coverage reports ensuring codebase stability, maintainability and clarity for smoother development • Developed D3 visualizations to integrate responsive radial in a space-optimized node-tree layout featuring drag, zoom, and on hover tooltip functionality creating a UI/UX with a color coordinated and dynamically rendered object • Product developed under tech accelerator OS Labs (learn more at: opensourcelabs.io) ### Give’n’Go​ | Mobile application to facilitate neighbor donations and support during quarantine @ Open Source Jan 2020 – Jan 2020 | Los Angeles, California, United States • Used React-Native to create a cross-platform mobile app with live reload features to provide a smoother run-time ### Dev Shark​ | Documentation reviewer that facilitates Software Engineers to efficiently research @ Open Source Jan 2019 – Jan 2020 | Los Angeles, California, United States • Implemented React-Router to increase content delivery of viewport on SPA by utilizing switches and routes as components that conditionally alter the layout and dynamically display the data from the Virtual DOM, without need to overload the server with API calls, for a faster and user-friendly interaction with deep-nested applications • Used Node and Express to structure a RESTful service with custom middleware flow between routes that allows for requests to multiple endpoints to build an authentication system that focused on the end user data security being ensured by integrating a combination of customized cookies, sessions, and Bcrypt to encrypt sensitive user data • Designed a SQL database and an efficient table joins system to store relational data between the user interests reinforcing ACID compliance protocols envisioning the data consistency, integrity and security of users information ### Low Carb High Taste​ | Non-profit menu review for diabetics with medical community support @ Open Source Jan 2019 – Jan 2020 | Los Angeles, California, United States • Built a React frontend system in conjunction with a Node.js and Express server following RESTful architecture ### Tracker​ | Time management tool for Software Engineers to analyze and increase productivity @ Open Source Jan 2019 – Jan 2020 | Los Angeles, California, United States • Utilized React to leverage the ability of writing reusable and modular components that efficiently render on the browser via virtual DOM for a smooth user experience with minimal delay between user interaction and application • Integrated Redux state management framework to optimize scalability and consistency through centralizing the data in the store leveraging functional programming best practices by preventing state mutability and side effects ### Manager @ Heather® Jan 2018 – Jan 2020 | West Hollywood, California, United States • Hired and oversaw developer team building sales and educational platform • Led program to expand international and online presence on diverse platforms to assure year sales and stability • Examined team
