SocialCode, San Francisco CA
May 2012 - Sep 2012
Software Engineer – B2B Tools.
As the Front-End/UI Lead, architected and implemented a customer dashboard to quickly and
concisely present a summary of the advertising data for client campaigns. Working as a bridge
between account reps and big-data engineers, identified reporting gaps and planned API access so
that new graphs and reports could be deployed. (Note: SocialCode aqui-hired the Digg.com team.)
Digg.com, San Francisco, CA
Jul 2011 - May 2012
Software Engineer – Front-end implementation.
As a key member of the engineering team, responsible for designing and implementing the
user pathways through key features of the site. Tasks as diverse as user research and product
definition were routine as the users-to-engineer ratio was 2 million:1.
Using PHP, Smarty and a custom-built MVC, implemented new features such as the News Bar,
User Awards for Newsrooms and the Digg Social Reader. Because of the size of the audience (17
million monthly uniques), all product and design decisions had to be fully planned and tested both for
quality and system load.
Designed full-stack systems such as a modal-window class that worked as both an in-line html
element and as an AJAX-delivered event. Heavy use of HTML, JavaScript and CSS were routine in most
projects, but almost all processing was accomplished in PHP.
Lead a design review that resulted in a restructuring of the existing HTML and CSS code base
in order to implement a full-width experience, relying on HTML5 techniques and CSS media queries
(not fully implemented before Digg was sold to BetaWorks).
