iFIT

Reporting to the Director of Developer Experience, invest in and support the human side of software development. By working alongside our business vertical's Technical Program Manager and Senior Engineering Lead, define and communicate the medium-term vision and direction for the products that fall within our purview. Support the health of 15+ individual contributors across 3 teams and onboard new hires. Drive developer engagement, personal growth, continuing education. Support and mentor individuals in the ups and downs of their careers.

Engineering Manager

I love serving and growing people as much as I love writing software, and so that's what I do full-time now! Career development & coaching, identifying individual strengths, pair programming, performance reviews, conflict resolution, strong communication, surfacing pain points to leadership, team health checks, personal advocacy. I use and create systems to care for those in my charge. I want people to feel: confident when they submit their resume; energized when they come into work each day; secure when they need a day off; accepted and lifted up by the team around them; excited about the vision of our company's leadership; served by being in line with that vision and personally growing.

People come to work to get paid, but there's no reason they can't enjoy the process. I make it my job to ensure they do.

Developer Experience Manager

As a Chapter Lead, I am responsible for the career growth and mental welfare of my team of 6 front-end developers. Together, we set company-aligned and personal OKRs, ensuring we are each hitting targets, contributing meaningfully, and growing in a way that is personally fulfilling.

I seek to preserve iFit's culture of trust, transparency, and positivity. Servant leadership is the goal here, not micromanagement. I'm new to managing people, but I deeply believe that a happy, respected, and cared-for team does the best work.

Front End Chapter Lead

At iFit, I have the privilege of using bleeding-edge tools and processes to build drool-inducing web and mobile apps with some of the most humble, brilliant, and forward-thinking tech-industry folks I've ever met. I regularly contribute to iFit's technology ecosystem with feature development, performance improvements, and provide guidance on web accessibility.

I love to share what I know and build others up in the form of peer presentations on current and upcoming tech, and I'm helping form the structure of our internal FED mentoring program, in which we help aspiring developers take their first steps into coding for the web platform.

Founding Technical Lead

Perficient

Following my promotion, I earned a reputation as one of the JavaScript and back-end gurus on our team, and expanded my skills into native iOS development and Angular. Delivery excellence turned a single engagement into an Agency-of-Record opportunity.

In my first year with Perficient, I consulted for major corporations in front-end web best practices, and built tools to improve the efficiency of my business unit. I was quickly recognized for quality work and technical aptitude, earning a promotion, and I even won a few awards for my contributions.

Front End Developer

Marketplace Homes

Our team built ZipTours, a technology platform for remote home tours all over the country, without the need for an on-location realtor. This included a video "FaceTime"-like platform on WebRTC, a web-centric call center and messaging platform on Twilio, a home-brewed scheduling system, and a data-driven map application.

Senior Full Stack Rails Developer

Mcomm Group, Inc.

At Mcomm Group, I was involved with large-scale web project estimates, management, planning/strategy, and execution. Our web team was responsible for daily execution of web projects, both front-end and back-end.

We did solid work for our clients, which resulted in plenty of referral work from new clients both locally and nationally.

Full Stack Rails Developer

Hult Marketing

During my time at Hult Marketing, I took my education and freelance project experience and put them to work in the real world. This was a position in which I was able to grow immensely, both in skill-set and speed and quality of work, and also in general marketing knowledge. I really got to see the inner workings of an agency, established my own habits, and aligned with best practices.

My primary growth here was in jQuery, Wordpress Development, and as an overall agency-oriented developer.
