Startup role. Mostly remote, but 6+ months on site in Hong Kong. After joining, the CTO and I binned years of poorly authored frontend and rewrote it in 2 weeks. While here I authored a CSS architecture guide for building hugely scalable and maintainable UI that can be applied to any web codebase which still holds up to this day. I became responsible for leading a talented team of 4-5 developers, where I grew my team management and leadership skills.

First startup & remote role. Gasket Inc was a company based in San Francisco seeking to create a product similar to AirTable.

I developed my first business-grade SCSS codebase and also helped refactor from Angular 1 to Angular 2.

Hired as a frontend developer but was tasked with work outside of my contract scope, which is why my tenure here was short (I left). It was here I first learned to work in a "real" office environment and this bolstered my communication skills in the short time I was there.

Apprenticeship at a small design and development studio, where I built experience with all aspects of design & development for the web. These included identifying requirements for clients and supporting them, designing layouts and wire-frames based on our discoveries, building the frontend and backend for them, and managing the deployment and infrastructure required. I was also often in charge of client liaison and wrote extensive amounts of copy and documentation.
