Working with technology is the focus of my career, which includes stints in the automotive, game development and web marketing sectors. I studied digital experiences at Carnegie Mellon University’s Entertainment Technology Center, where I cut my teeth on student projects as a content creator and project manager. My experiences there led to project management positions at a handful of excellent game development companies. Eventually, I pivoted from game development to web development, where I could take on a wider variety of clients and projects.

Working closely with people from many disciplines helped me understand the nuts and bolts of web projects. I took every opportunity to pitch in on technical work such as website builds and analytics implementations, and created my own path to becoming a full-time web developer.

Today, I’m an analytics implementation specialist at Rothy’s. In addition, I enjoy building my own projects and taking on web design and development work on an independent basis.

Experience

Rothy’s

3 years (ongoing) San Francisco, CA

Senior Frontend Developer

In addition to building user interface components and improving the user experience on rothys.com, I’m responsible for our web analytics implementation. I instrument frontend features with custom events and leverage server-side technologies to surface ecommerce and user behavior data to our marketing and reporting platforms. I regularly monitor and audit our analytics stack, spearheading efforts to move to tools best suited for our needs that improve efficiency, robustness, and cost.

Precise documentation and communication are critical skills I bring to my role. I collaborate with stakeholders to define tracking outputs; coordinate frequently and closely with vendors, QA, and developers to troubleshoot issues; and support other internal teams with ad-hoc requests.

Frontend Developer

I contributed frontend code for UI features, bug fixes, and accessibility improvements. I audited existing analytics and tag manager setups, optimizing them to work more seamlessly with our website. I relied on my knowledge of Javascript and the DOM to place events and enrich data for the analytics and growth teams.
