March 31, 2023 - September 9, 2025

Clients included Discover Financial Services, Enterprise Car Rentals, Atkins, American Residential Services, Xfinity/Comcast, Cox Cable, Charter Communications, WoW Internet, Anthem BCBS, Humana & Centerwell Pharmacy.

Senior Front-end Web Developer at Dentsu Media US
January 8, 2018 - March 30, 2023

Clients included Xfinity/Comcast, Cox Cable, Charter Communications, Spectrum Internet, WoW Internet, Anthem BCBS and Medicaid, Humana & Centerwell Pharmacy. Primary Achievements: 75% reduction in estimated development time on non-modular Humana Pharmacy landing pages with different designs by implementing shared configurable SCSS stylesheet, and Reduced API calls for custom Smarty geolocation API implementation from thousands per user session to dozens per user session for Spectrum Internet landing pages by saving large returned dataset locally before further filtering, which significantly reduced geolocation service costs.
