Full Stack Web Developer (2.5 years) July 2012 - Dec 2014

e-Builder, Inc.

Implemented user enhancements to a large scale ASP.NET WebForms web application using a variety of client and server side technologies including Javascript, HTML, CSS, ASP.NET WebForms, Telerik UI for ASP.NET AJAX, SlickGrid, T-SQL, SQL Server 2008, JSON, XML, Windows Services, WebDAV, FTP and more.

• Worked on an agile scrum based team iterating over two week sprints.
• Built a Javascript framework that used SlickGrid to display thousands of rows of editable data. This made sure that the DOM stayed small so that users could view thousands of data rows without any performance impact. Also created many SlickGrid plugins and custom cell editors to satisfy business requirements.
• Made a ASP.NET DataGrid editable by building a Javascript component to pull and push data from a DataGrid to a web service.
• Wrote a Javascript style guide that was used by the developers at e-Builder, Inc.
• Trained developers on how to write structured Javascript using modular design patterns.
• Used Microsoft Ajax Minifier to implement concatenation and minification of Javascript and CSS files on ASP.NET Master pages, and used the minifier on many other projects to bundle scripts. Trained other developers on how to use the Microsoft Ajax Minifier.
• Evaluated e-Builder's web application for Section 508 compliance, and trained developers and QA analysts on how to create Section 508 compliant web applications.
• Created a ASP.NET UserControl that wrapped a Telerik RadGrid to reduce the time it took developers to build data grids with recurring acceptance criteria.
• Implemented the capability to edit Microsoft Office documents directly from a web application by using WebDAV.
• After e-Builder dropped support for IE7, I trained the development team on the Javascript APIs and CSS selectors that became available when IE8 was released like querySelector, querySelectorAll, localStorage, sessionStorage, hashchange event, JSON.stringify, JSON.parse, :after and :before pseudo elements, box-sizing, etc. View the slides at kevinareed.com/ie8.
• Implemented the first Javascript test suites and code coverage metrics for e-Builder's web application. Used Mocha.js, Chai.js, Sinon.js, and Blanket.js.
