# Rebecca Miller > Software Engineer Location: New York, New York, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/rebeccamiller1 Curious and passionate software engineer, with strong focus inJavaScript technologies, including React/Redux, Node, and Typescript. Contributor to open source tools; co-creator of OpticQL - Electron.js application for testing/monitoring GraphQL APIs with built-in schema visualizer. Recently delivered tech talk on GraphQL & Caching, as part of SingleSprout speaker series. ## Work Experience ### Software Engineer @ Crossover Health Jan 2022 – Present ### Frontend Engineer @ Genomic Prediction Jan 2021 – Jan 2022 ### Software Engineer @ OpticQL Jan 2020 – Jan 2021 • Published NPM package for client installation that exposes endpoints for sending GraphQL schemas to the application by connecting to users’ SQL databases and locally hosted servers, to provide a • GraphQL testing environment with minimal backend setup for users. • Utilized React Router to facilitate multi-page functionality and expedite client-side routing, enabling full-page views of users’ schema visualizations and query performance metrics within a single-page application. • Leveraged the Electron framework in a Node.js runtime environment to create multiple renderer processes modularizing app functionality, and incorporated an IndexedDB store to streamline UX by persisting user information across sessions. • Developed GraphQL API with numerous mutations and queries to allow for declarative data fetching and retrieval of information from a SQL database, eliminating any overfetching and underfetching by the client. • Architected a backend using Apollo server in order to utilize Apollo Tracing’s performance data and obtain meaningful metrics for a query’s performance, including execution times of resolver functions and GraphQL-level error messages. • Constructed a network graph visualization of GraphQL schema by utilizing a data visualization library to display an interactive graph that allowed users to navigate their schemas’ types and fields, highlighting all endpoints in the graph that were reached in a query or mutation and display valuable data on resolvers’ performance. • Employed Test Driven Development (TDD) methodology using Jest and Enzyme to create both unit and integration tests for the behavior of display, functionality, and lifecycle methods. • Product developed under tech accelerator OS Labs (opensourcelabs.io) ### Meme Hours @ Open Source Jan 2020 – Jan 2020 • Multiplayer networked game that allows users to caption, share, and upvote image submissions. • Utilized WebSockets to allow for concurrent client connections during game sessions, establishing efficient client-server communication through event emitters and listeners that updated state in the frontend and displayed relevant game data to users. • Structured a single page application with React, utilizing hooks in functional components to minimize excessive prop-drilling and efficiently render the application based on local state changes. • Integrated Styled Components to create a scalable and reusable design system, improving maintainability of the application’s code. ### Ballot Buddy @ Open Source Jan 2020 – Jan 2020 • Centralized hub for receiving and sharing data about upcoming local elections • Built Node.js server using Express to create a flexible RESTful API with non-blocking, asynchronous middleware modules that efficiently delivered upcoming election data and ballot initiatives from a third-party API based on user location. • Implemented optional OAuth login for account creation and authentication through existing third-party APIs with robust, well-vetted security features. • Configured Webpack to optimize the development environment, leverage hot module reloading to enhance workflow, and to bundle files and dependencies, minimizing file size to improve application load and render times. ### Social Scrapbook @ Open Source Jan 2020 – Jan 2020 • SPA social media platform for aggregating and sharing user-generated content from social events • Modified existing codebase, sanitizing and refining SQL data to optimize security and reliability while streamlining the querying process and enabling operations from multiple connected clients. • Utilized third-party API that allowed users to login via OAuth and access their personal calendars to create and schedule events without leaving the application’s UI. • Leveraged React Router for dynamic routing of views, streamlining display component-hierarchies and improving code clarity. ### Director Of Marketing & Communications @ DigitalFusion Jan 2016 – Jan 2019 • Designed public-facing product website for software product serving Enterprise clients in the entertainment and photography industries. • Collaborated with engineering team in developing upcoming product features and workflows based on client feedback. • Maintained and updated product documentation, release notes, and training guides for each development cycle. • Distributed materials using a PHP-based content management system backed by a MySQL database combined with proprietary messaging technology. ### Creative / Design Manager @ LAFCO New York Jan 2013 – Jan 2016 • Promoted from Sales Coordinator position in 2014. • Designed public-facing product website that incorporated HTML, CSS, and Javascript as well as custom-built e-commerce software. • Maintained nosql databases to manage inventory, accurately notify customers about billing and shipping events, and send relevant marketing/sales material. ### Marketing and Design Associate @ New York City Health and Hospitals Corporations Jan 2011 – Jan 2012 ## Education ### Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) in English Language and Literature Columbia University ## Contact & Social - LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/rebeccamiller19 --- Source: https://flows.cv/rebeccamiller1 JSON Resume:
