What I've Done
NBC.com
I developed NBC.com's video apps for web and connected devices using a JavaScript canvas technique for low-memory systems and built the Paris 2024 Olympics video hub. I also improved the codebase by migrating it to TypeScript and implementing Jest and Cypress testing frameworks. Additionally, I managed the deployment process, overseeing production releases and hotfixes.
Disney/Disney Streaming
At Disney, as a Senior Software Engineer, I've collaboratively steered all aspects of video players across major platforms, including DisneyPlus.com, StarPlus.com, plus.espn.com, NHL.tv, and Hulu.com. My role included integrating various third-party tracking suites like MOAT, Conviva, and Adobe, thereby boosting our analytic capabilities. Consistently delivering high-quality, peer-reviewed code, I navigated an Agile workflow, orchestrating new features, and resolving bugs efficiently, while also mentoring colleagues and transitioning them from Disney park roles to proficient developers through the Code Rosies program.
National Footbal League/NFL.com
As a Senior Application Developer at NFL.com, I enhanced my skills in a dynamic, fast-paced environment while redesigning key elements such as the NFL.com homepage and videos page. I also crafted a unique viewing experience for Super Bowl commercials, an innovative feature that was marketed live during the game.
Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer/MGM.com
As the Chief Front-End Developer at MGM, I leveraged my skills in CSS, HTML, and Javascript to deliver high-end sites, micro-sites, and redesigns, often as the sole developer ensuring quality and meeting tight deadlines. My significant contributions included building MGM's first mobile websites, a project I saw through from initial business interest to completion.
