Software Engineer @ Orion Health 2012 - Present

  • In 2013, I was heavily involved in improving our test automation and internal tooling so I wrote a js test runner to use phantomjs to run js tests in our build systems (we had none at the time). After that, I helped teams within the company to write js unit tests and helped improve my team's testing effort from 0 unit tests to over 600.
  • In 2014, I was responsible to improve the client side performance of our web app on older browsers. Rendering our app used to take more than a minute to load, after re-writing the core of our rendering engine, the app rendered in under 5 seconds in older browsers.
  • In 2015, I got promoted to a Senior engineer for my consistent performance with implementing features on a tight deadline in a heavily understaffed team while also helping the web dev team pave the way away from YUI. Later that year, i was selected (out of 300 engineers) after interviewing with Ian McCrae (CEO) to be a member of an executive development board along with 6 other engineers.
