    Staff Frontend Engineer

    I’m on the platform team, working across Canopy’s 50+ React applications on build tooling, shared libraries, coding standards and the component library.

    Senior Frontend Engineer

    May 2022 – Jan 2024

    Lead frontend developer on the redesigned client management area: client lists with saved filters, bulk actions and data export. Built the component library’s data grid, including virtualized rendering for large data sets. Led the migration of over 2,000 tests from Enzyme to React Testing Library across all repositories, which unblocked the upgrade to React 18, and created the shared testing library the tests are built on.

    Frontend Developer

    Aug 2021 – May 2022

    Built the real-time comment feed, with @mentions, reactions, read/unread tracking, live updates and virtualized scrolling for long threads. Introduced React Query to the codebase, which later became the shared approach to data fetching across the applications. Also built account and license management in settings and in-app notifications, and added components to the component library.
