I'm currently apart of the Articles & Video team creating features within articles and maintaining a consistent experience with our VOD and live content. We successfully launched CNBC's Investing Club subscription and hosted the Berkshire Hathaway spring event.

CNBC

2020 - 2021

At CNBC, I worked on the Engagement team, building out new core functionality. This included new features and bugfixes in a scrum environment. The languages used here are React with SCSS, some GraphQL, and Jest/Enzyme for lots of testing.

Complyify

2020 - 2020

With Complyify I worked on creating and managing the frontend application for reviewing forgiveness loan requests regarding the Paycheck Protection Program. Most of my time was spent designing and building React components with minimal guidance, and writing unit tests in Jest to increase code coverage.

Realtor.com (Move Inc.)

2017 to 2020

Working remotely from Dallas, I worked on a small team of designers and developers creating and managing the Sell and MyHome pages of realtor.com. Most of my day is spent working with React, implementing API endpoints via Express and GraphQL, and building out our pages with Styled Components. More recently I've begun working with our mobile team, building out widgets with Dart and Flutter for our native apps.

Alkami

2016 to 2017

Most of my responsibilities at Alkami were building out the front end for our banking clients. After working with the design team, I would take the finished design and build out the layouts needed. I would also build out new features introduced by our project manager. We used an ASP.NET framework, with SASS CSS, and KnockoutJS as our front end framework.

DoctorLogic

2014 to 2016

DoctorLogic was where I first started my web development career after my four year stint in IT support. I worked closely with the lead designer and would build out front page designs from Photoshop mockups. We used an ASP.NET framework, LESS CSS, and vanilla JavaScript. After becoming the sole front end developer, I learned more than I expected to, and am still using that knowledge in my career today.

Personal Projects

Ham Search

I earned my amateur radio technician's license in April 2022. After looking for a good resource to lookup callsigns, I found that most of them looked a bit outdated and weren't the best to use on mobile. So I created Ham Search. A simple page to query a callsign and get relevant information on the people you're connecting with. 73! | KI5ULY
