Working as a software engineer on the Superhuman Desktop team, building the core app on desktop/web
2022 — 2022
Led a team of three engineers working on Cameo’s public facing storefront systems, specifically the React/React Native front end browsing experience and the underlying Node API used to process and deliver content for those surfaces. My focus was on guiding overall architecture as these systems grew, coordinating and reviewing technical work, and collaborating with product and design to determine requirements and find the right paths forward for future projects.
Outside of time spent managing/planning, I worked directly on implementing various technical improvements for the larger team, including improving page load speed across the site by splitting our code bundles, updating critical libraries such as React and Webpack, and optimizing our server side rendering processes to improve throughput.

Contributed to several projects, including contributions to our cross platform React Native design system, and extensions to the Cameo CMS API.
Led a working group of engineers in an initiative to update Cameo’s engineering interview process, creating a carefully tested set of interview questions and training documents, intended to reduce variance between interviewers, focus interviews on specific qualities, and improve the quality of post-interview feedback and discussion.

Built Cameo’s internal content management system, a MongoDB powered API designed to quickly and reliably serve dynamic pages across both web and native platforms. The system supports hand curated marketing changes alongside algorithmic customization, allowing Cameo to rapidly respond to marketing needs, seamlessly run A/B tests of content, and tailor the content served to an individual user’s interests.

Built/maintained the Civis Component Library, a curated collection of React components that can be easily shared across teams, reducing duplicated work and allowing for better design cohesion across the company’s products.
Built version 1 of the Civis Research Library, a React/Redux/Flask app that visualizes arbitrary survey data for easy analysis by business users. My work centered around the front end, building out dynamic charts using Recharts, and implementing the data transformations needed to smoothly connect our API responses to the various app views.
