Experience

2022 — NowTutored by TeachersSenior Full-Stack Engineer

2022 — Now

United States

I joined Tutored by Teachers as a senior full-stack engineer specializing in React and GraphQL using TypeScript to its full potential.

Navigated the wild world of time zones and dates to build a flexible class calendar/schedule tool

Created a sharable calendar export system that provides our teachers and students with a dynamically updating calendar subscription that can be used in Google Calendar/Outlook/Apple Calendar/etc - my boss used the word "miracle" to describe its creation at a company-wide meeting

Had the idea to create an in-house short-URL solution that no one knew they wanted but was universally loved

Implemented modular paginated tables, the TypeScript involved is liable to make non-senior engineers faint

Responsible for the most complex admin tools, and they pretty much work exactly as we need

Recipient of multiple direct compliments from the co-founder/CEO of TbT - feels like making the Dean's List while in my 30s

Tutored by Teachers is a public benefit company driven to improve outcomes for students and teachers and advance equity in education. So it feels good working here.
