❖ As a member of an agile and dynamic scrum team, goals were focused on having actively iterating and improving our CMS utilizing React and Redux in the front-end and RoR for back-end while being lean by having stand-ups, retrospectives, and backlog grooming.
➢ Implemented RSS feeds for specific categories to diversify the ingestion of content utilizing Flipboard.
➢ Coordinated bi-weekly sprint ceremonies utilizing Jira.
➢ Developed UI components in React for both reader and editor-facing sides.
➢ Utilized GA and GTM across desktop, mobile, and AMP to better understand baseline metrics and improve ad revenue.
➢ Created unit tests for each feature developed through Mocha, Chai, Sinon, and Rspec.
➢ Applied continuous integration with Codeship and Heroku, a cleaner deploy using Docker, and created staging environments for a variety of platforms: AWS, GTM, CMS, and built-in API micro-service.
❖ A recent project of ours consisted of building a fully-fledged feature from the ground up to utilize print content data to the proprietary CMS. This resulted in having an increase of over 100 pieces of content being published every month and increased monthly sessions by 12% with an overall increase in revenue.
➢ Built a Rails API micro-service that ingested unstructured print articles in xml and manipulated the data through querying, parsing, cleaning, and processing each file to making it publishable data that can be digested into our proprietary CMS.
➢ Utilizing AWS S3 and Lambda, when a new unstructured file was added to the S3, the lambda would automatically trigger our micro-service allowing complete automation in the conversion of print to web-viewable posts.
➢ Created a NPM package for customization for a file browser interface allowing the processed content to be imported on our CMS with added unit testing for security.
➢ Designed and implemented UI patterns to increase work flow for editors and user retention.
