Frontend Software Engineer

I’m a software engineer (mostly frontend web) based out of Vancouver on the west coast of Canada who was laid off a few months ago after the acquisition of the smart building platform startup (Envio Systems) by JLL inc (the same one on all the “for lease” signs in your downtown area). I spent much of my year and half there on a small team working to improve the existing legacy Angular 1.x dashboard application by improving design responsiveness, introducing TypeScript, migrating components to React, and services to Axios/Redux. We used GitHub Actions for code reviewing and test running, Jira for project management, and Slack for communications, and worked across some difficult timezones remotely.

Since then I’ve been enjoying the time off, working on a mac app in Swift and SwiftUI, as well as taking my time with looking for a new role, ideally on a small team where I can either continue as an individual contributor or something slightly higher-level, in a capacity that is challenging and requires the exploration of new systems, but in no specific domain. I enjoy iterative processes, lean development lifecycles, learning new codebases, and experimenting with developer tooling and build systems that reduce the latency in feedback loops, like Vite.
