One of the initial and main contributors of the agile team that rewrote the Vegas.com desktop and mobile site in a modern SPA-based architecture using ReactJS with Redux. Implemented numerous individual components from page layouts to toast notifications and tasks such as optimizing our webpack bundle splitting.
Took initiative to optimize Vegas.com sites by improving client-side caching and CDN usage. This substantially decreased our bandwidth costs and page load times.
Focused on delivering the highest quality code with thorough and respectful code reviews, increasing unit and integration test coverage, and techniques like dependency injection for mocks and in one case currying to make highly configurable and well-tested sorting functions.

Created the OCR Panel: A resizable, draggable container written with the YUI and Google Maps API V2. Reporters used a configuration wizard to create hundreds of customized maps with it.
Configured the OCR Panel to integrate crime, restaurant, real estate, and traffic JSON feeds I built by scraping various government sources and storing the data in Django, Google App Engine, and flat files in AWS S3. Built a custom, highly configurable clusterer that could handle tens of thousands of points.
On short notice, created a parser to make real-time election HTML pages with charts for each contest. Served millions of times on election night, these charts worked without issues despite having been provided limited test data.

Managed and trained reporters. Produced and organized daily news segments and a weekly news program.
