Front End Engineer @ Lead the effort to migrate Zinio's online reading experience from Adobe Flash to a responsive HTML5-based solution using Backbone.js and SVG magazine content. The new reader is now being served to thousands of users every day. I also created a desktop application for offline reading using NW.js, a combination of Node.js and Chromium that runs applications built on web technologies. Lastly, I work with business development to support partners as they use the online and offline reader applications. From October 2014 to Present (1 year 3 months) San Francisco Bay AreaWeb Developer @ Took the initiative to teach myself to code. Gained experience by building many small-scale apps starting with Ruby and Ruby on Rails and later moving on to Javascript and Backbone.js.
