About Me

Since 2019 I have served as a Content Specialist for AJ Madison where I have been part of a content team that utilizes a custom CMS to build/update product pages, and as part of a larger merchandising team that has generated revenue increase of 50%+ YOY. We coordinate with large appliance manufacturers to update a large online appliance catalog, provide up to date content assets, and build/update product pages in real time via a custom Content Management System. In a project management role, I oversee an overseas team to help perform periodic audits of existing product SKUs, and implement new experiences.

My technical experience in developing a Ruby on Rails application with PostgreSQL has taught me how to define data base models, set up relationships, apply RESTFUL conventions to CRUD routes and practice with APIs. The deployment phase of the application process taught me to optimize memory usage, and use search queries that limited the number of times requests were made. My experience developing a React/Redux single page application provided me the opportunity to learn about JavaScript's event delegation, React Routing, and combine this knowledge to utilize Ruby on Rails as an API.
