Responsibilities

• Performance Optimization: Started and provided documentation on the process of migrating our legacy front-end state management system to a new system to reduce unnecessary re-renders across the website while making the code more readable. Later served as the primary contact to guide others through the same process.

• Order Tracking: Found discrepancies in our order tracking system and implemented changes which provided tracking information to the users for 7 of our shipping providers along with more information within our current system.
• Full-Stack Experience: Gained hands-on experience in full-stack development, working with both front-end and back-end issues involving React and C#.
• Agile Development: Learned and utilized modern agile development principles. Had the opportunity to run stand-ups, contribute to sprint planning, and create actionable tickets based on customer and manager input.
• Rapid Learning: Was open to developing in a new language and was successful through the help of mentors and teammates. Actively sought out issues outside of my comfort zone in order to gain useful domain knowledge.
