Hi, I’m Patrick

I am a frontend engineer with roughly ten-years of experience working at startups of all sizes.

I’m driven by resolving problems and creating great user experiences, whether that means creating great products or solving innefficiences in the development process.

I have a master’s degree in English, a dog and a cat, and spend a lot of my free time reading, watching movies, and playing games.

You can contact me on linkedin for any professional reasons, and follow along with what I’m currently watching on letterboxd.

I currently work at Iterable

I’ve worked at Iterable since 2019, starting as a frontend engineer on the Channels team, working alongside PMs, designers, and backend engineers to build out new user experiences.

More recently, I worked on the DevEx team, striving to improve Iterable’s frontend infrastructure. I helped improve the FE developer experience in almost every possible way.

Currently, I am a staff-level engineer on the Nexus team where, amongst other things, I am in charge of Iterable’s frontend architecture and design system.

I’ve also deleted more code than I’ve written.

Before that, I worked at Creative Live as a product engineer

CreativeLive is an online learing platform for creative arts with over 2 million active users.

While there, I was one of 5 full-stack engineers on the Experience team, where I enhanced existing functionality, including working on a complete design overhaul of our most visited pages as well as improving the load-time and time-to-interactivity of individual class pages.

I also built out new functionality, including: functionality to allow the site to run on a subscription-based model, chat-room functionality for viewers of live classes; and the ability to listen to podcasts on our website.

And before that, I was a full-stack engineer at SketchDeck

Where I started my engineering career as part of a very small startup where the entire engineering staff was made up of 5 people.

At SketchDeck, I worked across the entire stack, doing whatever I could to support an application allowing clients to communicate with designers to stay informed and provide feedback of in-progess work.

I also spent a lot of time making our automated testing more robust, including designing and creating tests that caught code regressions on the entire platform, from frontend to SQS and Kafka messaging interactions.

And before that I did some other things entirely

I worked at an environment non-profit for a few years as a program manager.

And I earned a Master’s degree in English, focusing on the intersection of postmodernist literature, narrative studies, and nationalism studies.
