Blue Nile homepage, December 2011. Automated site theming to reduce labor during frequent updates during winter holidays, Valentine's Day, Mother's Day, etc.

Front End Developer - Blue Nile

Aug 2011 - Feb 2012
Seattle, WA

Highlights:

Created new features as part of the Site Development team such as filtering for Build Your Own Jewelry interface and process improvements for laborious holiday site-theming.
Developed a configuration-driven theming system which dramatically simplified recurring site redesigns replacing a labor-intensive manual process with reusable configuration.
Coordinated with both backend and site-reliability teams to maintain an aging tightly-coupled monolithic JSP framework during feature previews and final rollouts where downtime was not an option.
