### Software Engineer: Administrator Tooling @ 1Password
Jan 2021 – Jan 2022 | San Diego, California, United States
Led the organizational effort to outline the processes our team would follow to select and prioritize our product road map. Leveraging my previous experience in product discovery and my interest in cross team collaboration, I outline a process that allowed us to pull in data from many of our customer facing teams to prioritize the features that would make the most impact to the day-to-day workflows of the administrators of our business accounts. This process took into consideration a healthy amount of tech debt prioritization, flushing out the feature's we'd already released, and expanding our feature offering. The process of selecting this roadmap struck the balance of being data driven and diplomatic. Since our team was large enough to take on multiple projects at once, a ranked choice voting system was implemented that allowed each engineer to select the projects they'd like to contribute to the most. This voting system encouraged individuals to step outside of their comfort zone if they felt like learning something new, and ensured those individuals were paired with an experienced engineer to facilitate an environment of growth. Frontend engineers became backend engineers, backend engineers became frontend engineers; great software was built.

### Software Engineer: Product Discovery @ 1Password
Jan 2020 – Jan 2021
Built prototypes that explored how we could expand 1Password's current offering. While many internal prototypes went through a process that followed the product discovery framework, one big feature eventually hit all of our users: Item Sharing. Implementing E2EE sharing with an unauthenticated party required a tightly integrated cross functional effort between security, engineering, and UX teams to ensure the security didn't compromise the user experience and vice versa. What was eventually released was a final product we were all proud of. We went on to extend the feature over the coming months. We built administrator dashboards that allow our business users to control the behavior of the feature for their teams, document sharing support, among other details; like support for dark mode. This was 1Password's first service that hosted its own frontend, which introduced many new challenges. In addition to those challenges, I led the effort to introduce the first significant use of WebAssembly within our web clients: the item you receive in a share link is entirely powered by WebAssembly. This was the first big step forward in the 1Password's eventual goal of sharing business logic with our client apps by leveraging our client's Rust library, compiled to WebAssembly, for use in our web client. Achieving this was no easy task to do so securely. Once the feature shipped, I gave internal tech talks as well as authoring internal blog posts and documentation, all in an effort to increase the adoption of WebAssembly across our web organization. These resources have become the go-to place for internal teams to turn to when they begin integrating the use WebAssembly in their roadmaps.

### Lead Frontend Developer @ Shapa Health
Jan 2018 – Jan 2019 | San Diego, California

### Frontend Developer @ Shapa Health
Jan 2017 – Jan 2018

### Instructor @ Thinkful
Jan 2017 – Jan 2019 | San Diego, California
Led weekly workshops covering the introductory concepts of JavaScript, Node, jQuery, HTML, and CSS. Many of my students were brand new to coding, which sometimes required me to first explain the very basics of web technologies, like client-server communication. Some of my students had been developers for years, but had never worked on the web. I worked to ensure each and every student, no matter their background, had concepts explained at their level of understanding; diving into as much detail as they desired. 

Together we would build Twitter bots, portfolio websites, and other simple web apps.

### Academic experience @ Thinkful
Jan 2017 – Jan 2017 | Remote
Worked with a group of talented students to pick up the fundamentals of building effective full stack software solutions.
