Some core skills of mine include:

I'm a strong engineering professional with a Bachelor's degree from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.

Some recent professional accomplishments include:

Led a team of 4 engineers as the project manager and rebuilt the entire website from the ground up as a progressive web application in 2020 using Next.js for the front end, Shopify for the e-commerce backend, and Prismic as a headless content management system.
Rebuilt the core shopping experience from scratch in 2019 as a progressive web application with React that helped increase the conversion rate by 12%.
Implemented maintenance and performance updates that reduced the average page load times by over 20% by utilizing techniques such as lazy loading, image optimization, data caching with Redis, and browser level caching.
Updated our custom built C# ASP.NET e-commerce site to be fully API driven to support our new progressive web application with sub-100ms response times.
Revamped our site to be more accessible, fully usable with a keyboard and a screen reader device, and compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act.
Tracked site analytics with Google and Segment analytics in order to construct key project decisions regarding conversion rate, average order value, and average page load times.
