<h2>Overview</h2>
<p>
Hi, I'm Kiley. I'm a senior front-end engineer and I've been building
web applications and delivering software projects since 2011.
</p>
<p>
In that time, I've designed and built over 15 SaaS, web, and mobile
applications, from recruiting software to healthcare products to
subscription-based services. I'm engaged most when I get to work with a
close-knit team building products that people use to solve important
problems, while ensuring the code we write is secure, maintainable,
performant, easy to read, and easy to delete (when the time comes, as it
always does).
</p>
<p>Over the years, I have built a deep expertise in the following:</p>
<ul>
<li>HTML, CSS, and JavaScript (of course!)</li>
<li>
Building production-grade web applications with React, TypeScript, and
Next.js
</li>
<li>Building and using REST and GraphQL APIs</li>
<li>
Full-stack, cloud-based applications using Node.js, TypeScript, and
serverless architectures
</li>
<li>Database design, especially PostgreSQL and DynamoDB (NoSQL)</li>
<li>User Experience (UX) design, from user journeys to wireframes</li>
<li>
User Interface (UI) design, from hand-drawn sketches to Figma
prototypes
</li>
<li>
Product strategy, from shaping individual features to 3-year roadmaps
</li>
</ul>
<p>
But more important than the code, I care deeply about helping
early-career developers through pair programming, mentoring, tech talks,
and community building. I've held leadership positions including
technical team lead, engineering manager of both junior and senior
engineers, product lead, and a mentor for 6 engineers (and counting!).

<h2>Career Highlights</h2>
<p>
I've had the opportunity to work on some big and complex projects over
the years, as well as some brand new build-from-scratch startups. Here
are a few highlights that stand out:
</p>
<details>
<summary>Highlights from my time at Slack</summary>
<ul>
<li>
I served as the front-end tech lead for a complex pricing and
package change that required working with dozens of engineers from
many teams over 8 months.
</li>
<li>
Working with a partner, I built a prototype during a 3-day hackathon
and presented it to our C-level executives. Our project ended up
winning an internal award for Best Craft/Quality.
</li>
<li>
I organized and led a week-long virtual "non-site" for all front-end
developers across Slack during a year when travel to on-sites was
not allowed.
</li>
</ul>
</details>
<details>
<summary>Highlights from my time at AWS</summary>
<ul>
<li>
I was the tech lead for a multi-million dollar engagement building
ML-powered data forecasting tools for the Amazon packaging
innovation organization. I led a team of 5-6 engineers and cloud
application architects.
</li>
<li>
I built 2 full-stack, consumer-facing SaaS products for a Fortune
500 tire company using Next.js and Amplify.
</li>
<li>
I worked on a project with a multi-lingual team called "Gas Stations
of the Future" for the largest energy company in Argentina, and I
built a back-office web-based tool that ran locally in the gas
stations (to be resilient to internet outages).
</li>
<li>
Working on an AWS service team, I made tooling improvements that
reduced our monorepo build time by 28%, resulting in saving 80
engineers about 40 seconds per build. 40 seconds seems small, but
with 80 engineers running 3-4 builds per day, it equates to almost 3
hours of engineering time saved per day.
</li>
</ul>
</details>
<details>
<summary>Highlights from my time as CTO of DentalPost</summary>
<ul>
<li>
DentalPost is a job board software company based in Atlanta where I
led the 4-person engineering team as the CTO.
</li>
<li>
I led a project to ship a rebuild of the product from Java Server
Pages to a Java REST API with a React front end.
</li>
<li>
I shifted engineering from scrum 2-week sprints to 6-week cycles
using the "Shape Up" method. I designed and pitched product features
to the CEO, managed the team to deliver them, and wrote a good
portion of the front end code as well.
</li>
<li>
The product management changes I implemented helped the team ship
monthly releases of a half-dozen long-awaited, big features.
</li>
</ul>
</details>
<details>
<summary>Highlights from my time at SOLTECH</summary>
<ul>
<li>
SOLTECH is a ~50-person software consulting firm based in Atlanta,
GA.
</li>
<li>
I built a React Native front end of an iPad application that was
used by doctors with patients who speak a different language. The
app connected a live translator via video chat to translate between
patient and doctor in realtime.
</li>
</ul>
</details>
<details>
<summary>Highlights from my time at TORQworks</summary>
<ul>
<li>
TORQworks is a software company that helps long-term unemlpoyed
individuals find new careers and jobs. It was acquired in 2018-2019.
</li>
<li>
I acted as the only front-end developer, UX designer, and UI
designer. I redesigned what was an outdated web application using
the (then) modern visual design system from Google called Material
Design.
</li>
<li>
I built the front-end of the new version using AngularJS, working
closely with and learning a great deal from the CTO who was a former
Microsoft software engineer (forever grateful for your mentorship
and faith in me, JM!).

<summary>Highlights from my time at ACT Bridge</summary>
<ul>
<li>
In my first job out of college, I worked at ACT Bridge, an HR
technology startup funded by ACT (the college testing company). I
started as the team's one-and-only "tech person" and handled
everything from setting up the company website to buying team
laptops to analyzing data in Excel and Tableau.
</li>
<li>
Eventually, I became the tech product lead as the company
transformed from a pure consulting to a SaaS-based technology
business.
</li>
<li>
I envisioned and designed the SaaS product, called TRUE Talent, and
oversaw its development. I helped launch it at a major healthcare
provider.
