Lead Front-End Developer, Writer
San Francisco Bay Area
I have experience in both the large consumer-facing web site arena (causes.com, eventful.com, amazon.com) as well as small, custom web applications tailored for specific business needs. My strengths are undeniably rooted in software architecture and design, client-side (front-end) development and server-side web frameworks.
Over the last few years I have been designing and implementing solid front-end architectures, then hiring and educating developers to build out strong front-end teams. I have successful and opinionated methods for growing teams, keeping codebases in maintainable shape and increasing productivity through process and organization manipulation.
My specialties are split between designing and implementing web application architectures and growing highly productive, happy and strongly bonded development teams, especially in the front-end realm.
I work with JavaScript and other client-side technologies to implement responsive and reliable interfaces.For high-traffic consumer sites I have co-designed a generic and RESTful server-side web framework and used Rails on a daily basis to rapidly deploy features and build new apps.
