Fullstack engineer with a frontend passion. I began with Bonobos in our Palo Alto, California office and soon relocated to NYC to build our technology team from 2 engineers to a team of 20+.

• Developed all of the frontend build and infrastructure in node using Browserify & CommonJS modules for our next-generation platform. Our women's line, AYR, and soon Bonobos, is a 100% JavaScript Backbone.js client to our ecommerce platform.

• Prior to my work on the new frontends, I developed much of the frontend shopping cart functionality on bonobos.com, which eliminated a full page load from the store and raised customer average order value by 8%.

• Worked one-on-one with designers to bring a desktop-viewport only website to one that's optimized for smaller, touch-based devices.

Software engineer for our mobile engagement and marketing platform.

• Built a JavaScript-rich web client for our scheduling system, from scratch, using backbone.js.

• Extended our previously SMS-centric mobile sweepstakes infrastructure to accommodate entries from the mobile web. This enabled our team to quickly deploy new scratch-and-win lottery contests.

Software & Systems Engineer

• Developed an iOS application for the UC Davis Conferences and Events Services.
• Personally developed a content webservice using Rails. Wrote both the Objective-C API client and presentation logic for the mobile app.
