What I'm looking for
With over a decade of experience in frontend development, I have honed my skills in creating seamless user experiences across web and mobile platforms. My journey has taken me through significant roles at industry giants like The Walt Disney Company and Amazon, where I have successfully led projects that not only enhanced user engagement but also improved security and efficiency.
At The Walt Disney Company, I replaced deprecated components in user management software, significantly improving security for over 11 million ESPN customers. My tenure at Amazon saw me develop a client-side task orchestration framework that transformed fulfillment workflows, enabling rapid expansion of services like Prime Now. As a founder of Oomba, Inc., I created a tournament management application that streamlined operations for local and national tournaments, showcasing my ability to innovate and lead in high-pressure environments.
