Where the engineering foundation was laid — and where the breadth-first instinct that became a generalist’s range first showed up.
The work
- Modernized enterprise web apps — migrating legacy Ext JS applications to clean HTML5 / CSS3 + jQuery, then a wide JS toolkit: Knockout, Angular, Bootstrap, Modernizr, D3, and more.
- Went full-stack — hands-on with Java and ASP.NET MVC 4 on the server, and NoSQL stores (RavenDB, MongoDB).
- Delivered in a fast, execution-focused environment — recognized with a Spot Award and two Group Execution Excellence awards across 2012–13.
Why it matters
Most of the range that came later — moving fluidly from frontend to backend to data — traces back here. It’s the difference between knowing one stack and being able to pick the right tool for the system in front of you.
