Front End Web Developer & Production Manager
Partners In Health
Sept 2018 - Sept 2019
(Boston, MA)
Worked closely with the Lead Web Developer and Developer Operations Manager to complete short term and long term web projects using Drupal 8, Twig, HTML, CSS, and Javascript.
- Collaborated with interdisciplinary teams of designers, managers, and project stakeholders to take ideas from inception to deployment.
- Developed extensive site-specific content-editing documentation for non-technical internal users, to further empower colleagues to work with and engage with Drupal content.
- Conducted site-wide information architecture audit, including detailed URL performance analysis merging analytics (acquisitions, conversions, etc.) and path-level data (page depth, Flesch readability score of content, in-links and out-links, etc.) to generate new insights and guide re-design efforts.
- Provided design and front-end support (React.js) to Medical Informatics team's electronic medical records system.
- Developed performance optimizations resulting in >4 seconds of time to first interactive (TTFI) improvements (and other paint-time, time to first CPU idle improvements) by removing render-blocking resources; reorganizing CSS into libraries to take better advantage of Drupal's CSS aggregation abilities; and implementing CSS/JS minification and compression.
