In 2019, they worked at Spare as a Senior Front-End Engineer, where they added a Backbone router and state management for complex query navigation pages, refactored large front-end application code, and wrote advanced jQuery DataTables plugins and UX handling.

From 2015 to 2017, they worked at BGC Engineering Inc. as a Front-End Engineer, where they implemented a new browse filtering UX for narrowing search results and adding items to cart, wrote a performance monitoring library to use performance counters for measuring front-end delivery and back-end service responses, and built a desktop-like browser application for real-time analysis of risk and commodity index valuations. From 2014 to 2015, they worked at Habanero Consulting Inc. as a Web Developer, where they developed custom websites using PHP, MySQL, and JavaScript, wrote a framework to generate new custom websites with custom database back-end for improved roll out and prototyping, and converted a traditional web application to a single-page application using AJAX and a state management layer in JavaScript.
