Software Development Manager

1stdibs.com

May, 2015 - August, 2015

During the summer of 2015 I worked for an online marketplace, 1stdibs.com, which specializes in antiques, designer items, and fine art. The company started as a kind of advertising business for dealers in the New York City area, but has grown to become a leader in e-commerce for antique and fine art dealers around the world. During my time at 1stdibs I learned Javascript along with many front-end development tools, workflows and coding conventions.

My responsibilities at 1stdibs included:

  • Implmeneting design changes and new website features
  • Writing unit tests in Jasmine and more specialized integration tests (to verify back-end service behavior)
  • Using React, Backbone, and Node.js to create tools for developers (Chrome extensions, test result database, etc.)

Continuing my passion for building high performing and independent engineering teams responsible for delviering highly available, low latency, and maintainable distributed software systems for customers.
