Bristol, Connecticut, United States
I know: HTML5, CSS3, XML, TEA, JQuery, SQL, ActionScript, C++, PHP, BackboneJS, Sass, JS, Lodash, JSON, NodeJS, Grunt, Java, ES6/Babel, React, and MobX. I currently work at ESPN on the fantasy team. I support and develop on the ESPN Fantasy app as well as the site and the minigames products (Eliminator, Pigskin, Tournament Challenge, Streak, etc). I am currently working on our fantasy site redesign using React and Mobx. I am focusing most on performance with prop injecting, mounting/unmounting big tables, and feature development. I also created core code for websocket integration where we need live data. Recently on the app, I integrated a video carousel that only shows videos categorized to players on your team in your league, which double video starts on the home view of the app alone. I'm also the resident expert of iPhone X design integration for our web apps. Before that I worked on the espn.com redesign. I built out the team and schedule pages and made them dynamic so it would be easier to add other sports. I also created Java based functional testing. I also mentored interns while still doing my full work load. Before that I worked on Premium Products, which includes Insider and RecruitingNation. I ran National Signing Day 3 years in a row while on that team. I also created the Class Rankings page for both college football and basketball, which included the editorial tool used to input the ranks. At AOL, where I worked throughout my last two years of college, I was the lead on aolnews.com and walletpop.com. I maintained/enhanced AOL's sport, finance, political, and news sites. At Mace & Crown, I worked on introducing the Drupal CMS, which made it significantly easier to update with stories. At VCampus, I worked as a Network Administrator. Biggest project was install SNORT(IDS) and Asterisk (VOIP system). Strength: Problem solving, approaching my work with passion. Weakness: Not knowing when to ask for help/I don’t like asking for help.
I currently work on the fantasy team. I worked on the launch of the new fantasy app that integrated all 4 fantasy sports. A year later I worked on the integration of Streak into the same app. I also worked on the release of the Bachelor and Bachelorette sites. I've taken initiative and refactored core code in the app. Before that I worked on the espn.com redesign, creating core code for team and schedule pages. I also mentored an intern with no web experience who launched college football team pages and refactored an internal JS library we use to update our personalization api. Before that I worked on the premium products team where I launched SEC school specific sites as well as ran National Signing Day 3 years in a row. I also created editorial tools for power rankings and class rankings pages.
I work daily with shareholders to meet their needs on the internal website for NAVSEA. I am currently redesigning/testing a new template.
Created an interactive flash timeline using AS3 that was integrated into Aol. news stories. I headed support for the following affiliate sites; Daily Finance, Aol. News, Aol. Sphere, Aol. Realestate. I also worked on an interactive polling map for the 2012 Elections.
Interned for three summers as a network admin. Hacked netbotz and labeled cat-5s with correct IPs and some other fun stuff.
