🌐Web Developer

I am proficient in building, maintaining, analyzing, and improving complex websites, with a focus on the user, from concept to deployment via a variety of Javascript and templating frameworks. I have been coding since 2019 and currently work at Datadog, based in New York City.

The most important things to me in web development are the people I work with, the quality of the products I produce, and the impact I can have on the user experience. Performance, accessibility, and usability are my top priorities.

💼Work Experience

Datadog

I joined Datadog in early 2021 as a Software Engineer for the Websites team very early in my career. Since then, I grew into a Software Engineer II and now a Senior Web Development Engineer. As the team has grown, so has my role and responsibilities, allowing me to take on more complex projects and lead initiatives that have a significant impact on the company’s web presence.

At Datadog, I update, build, and enhance Datadog websites, including securitylabs.datadoghq.com(Opens in a new tab) , datadoghq.com(Opens in a new tab) , and docs.datadoghq.com(Opens in a new tab) . Additionally, I develop tools and processes to help facilitate team efforts, including replatforming Datadog websites from Bootstrap, jQuery, and HugoSSG to TailwindCSS, AstroJS, and DatoCMS.

I frequently cross-collaborate with Marketing, Brand Design, Community teams and more across the company to enhance Datadog’s standing as a monitoring and security platform. Some of my favorite interpersonal aspects also include onboarding and mentoring new teammates, helping them to integrate quickly with both meaningful contributions and an enjoyment of their work.
