Full-Stack Program Analyst
At EC Internet I have a top-down view of dozens of Magento e-commerce stores where I work directly with clients to implement business logic, design, and account system integrations. Some of my accomplishments include:
- Led the charge in moving from the WebProPack e-commerce platform to the more modern and extendable Magento framework, which became EC Internet's primary source of revenue.
- Developed more than 35 Magento extensions to adjust business logic, product data, and customer data for integration into Sage accounting & inventory systems.
- Moved EC Internet toward automatic deployments from git to development, preview, and production site environments, reducing developer and operations time required to test and deploy production stores from hours to minutes.
- Pushed dozens of sites and thousands of updates live, handling code deployments, SQL administration, and server configuration.
- Worked on-call 24/7 for business critical emergencies to maintain the highest possible uptime for clients stores.
- Implemented an automatic Javascript compiling system for EC Internet's WebProPack e-commerce site framework which reduced overall download size on mobile devices by more than 60%.
- Produced a React Native Android app for WebProPack sites which would closely emulate the functionality, speed, and design of a native Material Design app.
- Created the architecture for more than 30 Magento and WordPress sites for companies such as Fortessa, Smithsonian Institution, CZ-USA, and Novotech.
