SUMMARY

Hi! I'm Christy. 🙂   I have over two years of professional experience as a web developer, mostly focused on the front end of a large marketing website. Creating enjoyable, consistent user experiences keeps me motivated. I like to approach tasks with a critical eye, anticipating potential challenges and opportunities for improvement.

I've been focused on tech since 2021, when I decided to do a career pivot and completed the full-stack developer program with InceptionU. Ever since then, I've been having fun expanding my skill set and contributing to meaningful projects. Prior to my bootcamp, I had over 10 years of experience as a technical editor in the environmental consulting industry, where my attention to detail and focus on clear and consistent written communication helped me to meet the needs of various clients.

Outside of work, I'm passionate about languages and their power to connect people and foster cultural exchange. I'm currently learning French, Spanish, and Esperanto, and I enjoy tutoring English learners.

Experience

Web Developer, Neo Financial - Calgary, AB (Jan. 2022 - Feb. 2024)

I developed and maintained a large-scale marketing website, ensuring reliability through unit testing and code reviews. I built responsive, reusable React components based on Figma designs, identified and resolved bugs, and optimized website performance and appearance to improve user engagement. I also researched and implemented a headless content management system (CMS) for a website redesign, developing a proof of concept, planning out reusable content models, and facilitating knowledge sharing. Additionally, I led the implementation of a monorepo setup to streamline code sharing across applications, and created comprehensive documentation to enhance team efficiency and reduce training time.
