Conducted code reviews and working sessions (whiteboarding, debugging, code walk-throughs, etc.) with junior engineers mentoring them on engineering best practices and project execution strategy to assist in fostering their technical and professional development

Provided onboarding and technical training for engineers in full-stack development principles, including data structures, DOM manipulation, client-server architecture, REST API design, software design patterns such as MVC and Flux, and TDD

Conducted technical interviews of potential candidates for positions focusing on modern JavaScript knowledge, technical communication, analytical problem solving, engineering best practices, debugging skills, engineering empathy, and overall cultural fit

Employed React to build a graphical demo for visualization of GraphQL query times before and after utilizing EmberQL using React and Chartjs components to manage metric visualization, and leveraged built-in React Hooks to increase the efficiency of minification, reduce boilerplate code, and lighten required dependencies

Developed demo and node module entirely in TypeScript to defer from undesired type coercion and increase consistency/explicitness in order to minimize debugging and ensure data passed through GraphQL, Cache, and primary Database all have persistent and unmutated data types

Leveraged Redis to implement an in-memory server-side cache for GraphQL queries to reduce perceived latency for the client, automatically creating and managing dynamic cache invalidation based on heartbeat-detection of the primary database

Utilized Node.js / Express to create a backend architecture with modular middlewares to efficiently facilitate asynchronous data flow between client and server, taking advantage of Express’ single-threaded, non-blocking I/O event loop

Product developed under tech accelerator Open Source Labs (Find more info at: http://opensourcelabs.io)

Leveraged PostgreSQL storage system’s fast query processing to handle persistent task / reward tracking and value / weight system for created tasks for random but proportional task-to-reward matching system

Designed an Express server template following the Model-View-Controller architecture to handle different HTTP request methods between frontend and backend, and facilitate HTTP requests to our NoSQL Database
