- Full-stack delivery experience, pairing a modern JavaScript front end with the backend services that support it.
- History of contributing to several sizeable projects, including leading the individual contribution on at least one mid-sized effort.
- Experience running busy production systems, from design through release.
- A reputation among colleagues as someone they turn to for debugging help and technical answers.
