Versus Systems is building a platform to allow video game publishers and developers to offer prize-based matches of their games.  Within the frontend team of VS I helped build our mobile React-Native app as well as a browser-based React / Redux dashboard that connects to a JSON-RPC-ful Rails API.  Tested all over with Jest, Enzyme and Mocha.  This small team permitted each developer to be a significant contributor and owner of their work.  Ask me about the workflow, it’s the reason I joined the company!  Spoiler: thoughtful tooling based upon high standards and code reviews.

At Hook we built dynamic and rich media creatives that get trafficked through DoubleClick and FlashTalking.  All creatives were built in HTML5 with JavaScript and the incredibly fun animation library, Greensock.  We also built micro-sites using Polymer, internal tools with Electron, and regularly had the opportunity to experiment with bleeding-edge technology like WebVR using experimental builds of Chromium and their delightful collection of in-house VR gear (HTC Vive, Oculus Rift, Leap Motion, and Hololense).  The cool thing about building creatives is that the size limitation forces us to use only vanilla JavaScript and gives an intimate knowledge of what's going to break on Safari and IE (most things, as it turns out).

I loved working at Connectivity!! I was part of the front-end team that used a 100% JavaScript stack.  We primarily used the React.js library with the Flux pattern of data flow (before redux was a thing), served by Express.js and Node.  The code was test-driven (Jasmine), peer-reviewed, and version-controlled (Git).  I was lucky enough to be one of the members of the very small mobile team that developed the company's first iOS app using React-Native / ES6.  We ran a tight ship using Jira for ticket tracking, Confluence for documentation an agile/scrum team organization that encouraged cross-training and focus on a particular domain of the code.  I worked with some great people and wish them all the best.
