The LookbookEngineering Management Consultant / Senior Software Engineer
Dec. 2022 - Sep. 2023Directly consulted with CEO on technical decisions, hiring, and VP of Engineering responsibilities. Collaborated with a cross-functional team of 3 engineers and 1 designer to develop and implement innovative engineering solutions. Assessed technology trends for long-term engineering strategies, positioning the company for scalability during the user acceptance testing (UAT) phase. Coed demo = security, performance and site reliability. Architecture V2 - Backend: Single-handedly without interrupting feature development, refactored API into latest GraphQL and TypeScript, utilizing ECMAScript Modules (ESM) with strict typing and a true GraphQL schema. Ensured schema and type errors failed on transpiling and pre-git-commit husky check with strict ESLint and prettier configuration. Removed 50% of unused or unnecessary code left over from business logic pivots and an incomplete refactor from JavaScript RESTful API to untyped TypeScript GraphQL API. Broke initiative into deliverables as Architecture V1 Jira Epic with stories and tasks. Decreased feature development LOE by over 50%. Improved CodeFactor grade from C- to B with application-level work. Delegated rest to team. Applied DRY and S.O.L.I.D principles with proper design patterns and data types. Used proper casing and naming conventions. Replaced CRUD REST with Queries and Mutations during upgrade of packages (e.g., GraphQL, Apollo Server, and Mongo) which were 2 versions behind. Replaced strings with enums. Removed all unused dependencies.
Built application level Sentry service for bug tracking on all environments. With new enums, easy to only track critical errors.
Protected code quality with Code Factor Github automation on develop to catch problems early.
Crafted singleton Mongodb client service to replace multiple clients. Enum of collection names ensured proper typing and error handling.
Refactored auth resolver to use actual request origin domains before sending cookies in resp... [see website]
