I'm a Software Engineering Team Lead at Tangoe for their Mobile product. Tangoe gives me the opportunity to learn every day and help other individuals grow into their roles. I am responsible for the personal growth and productivity of 6 Software Engineers who work in a Ruby on Rails and Angular/AngularJS technology stack.
I started really writing JavaScript during my tenure with The Basement. I wrote a lot of vanilla JavaScript, but started down the EmberJS path there as well. At Octiv, I was tasked with working within an EmberJS and ReactJS environment. Moving on to Tangoe (previously MOBI), I worked primarily in an AngularJS environment and worked to move them into a more modern Angular 7+ JavaScript environment.
I have a secret enjoyment in Ruby, but have never set out to really master it. I wrote some Ruby at Octiv and write some Ruby at Tangoe, but I'm still pretty junior in this area. I have a couple of side projects that I am developing with Ruby on Rails to help me gain a better understanding of it.
At Tangoe, I am a Software Engineering Team Lead and I manage 6 Software Engineers. Part of my responsibilities include helping each individual on my team grow professionally and personally. I aim to help each of my team members to reach their full professional potential. Prior to being a Team Lead at Tangoe, I was a Senior Front End Engineer. As a Senior Front End Engineer I began the process of moving the software from an AngularJS environment to an Angular 7+ environment. I have continued those efforts as a Team Lead by directing team members in that effort.
At Octiv, I was a Front End Engineer in an EmberJS, ReactJS and Ruby on Rails stack. I focused on Front End interactions for the company's product, but some of my work required that I be at least comfortable in a Rails environment. Octiv uses Agile development practices to move the product forward and Git for version control.
At The Basement, I converted design files and wireframes to fully functional interactive websites and web applications using HTML, CSS, JavaScript, EmberJS and occasionally Wordpress. I helped to shape the Q/A processes, programming style and primary frameworks that the development team uses.
At Professional Development Group, I was their primary developer and managed websites for a number of Higher Education Financial Conferences. Other responsibilities included print design and basic web design.
