Work History
UI Software Developer

04.2018 - Current
- Developed a method for light and dark theming, then implemented that method for a platform-wide re-branding.
- Established a system of CSS best practices which improved the organization for the large amount of SASS styles in the platform.
- Worked with product managers, designers, and a cross-functional team to develop a new feature that allows users to create sharable modules of python code which can be run as part of security automation playbooks.
- Introduced and educated the broader team on using Cypress for end-2-end testing which was broadly adopted. Using Cypress allowed tests to live closer to the code, and empowered developers to create their own end-2-end tests.
- Worked closely with product managers, designers, and a team of front end engineers to completely re-design the visual playbook editor, a critical feature of any SOAR platform. Key contributions included: researching and integrating a graph editing library, contributed to the design and re-factoring of the python code generation module, single-handedly replaced the global state management with a new architecture that significantly reduced re-renders, and greatly improved developer experience.
