Where the work happened
RedCircle

Contract work across RedCircle’s product line: an AI product-photoshoot platform, a storefront size recommender, a consent app, an accessibility widget, and the portal their customers pay invoices through. Mostly Shopify, mostly end to end — scoping and architecture through deployment.

Kept applications serving more than 10,000 people fast and available, added server-side rendering so pages could be found and shared properly, and moved a legacy codebase onto TypeScript.
Kreiger Business Assistance
Aug 2019 to Sept 2021Web Developer, then Team Lead · Toronto, Canada, remote
