Work Experience

SAS

SAS is a data analytics company that provides software and services to help businesses make better, data-driven decisions. My role at SAS involves working on SAS Studio Flows (a graphical builder for SAS code) and the SAS Extension for VSCode (a developer-focused alternative to SAS Studio).

Senior Software Developer

May 2025 - Present
  • Helped launch the React version of SAS Studio, refactored legacy functionality around query joins, and implemented undo/redo for SAS Studio Flows
  • Implemented features from SAS legacy products (Data Integration Studio and Enterprise Guide) to assist in converting customers into SAS Studio users
  • Lead core architectural refactors towards a framework-agnostic api to update SAS Studio Flows and Nodes, working closely with developers implementing Copilot functionality within Studio
  • Collaborated with management and testing to ensure continued stability of the SAS Extension as new developers were onboarded

Software Developer

July 2022 - May 2025
  • Lead frontend development of the SAS Extension for VSCode, owning major user-facing features such as file system & sas content support, and library & table viewing/filtering
  • Extended SAS Extension to work with legacy connection types, and designed connection-agnostic frontend patterns and adapter-based models to reduce coupling between the UI and service-specific implementations for files & tables
  • Established the translation process for each release of the SAS Extension, and worked with translators to make sure things shipped on schedule
  • Collaborated with leadership to establish best practices around documentation, code review, testing, and release of the SAS Extension
  • Delivered a number of parity features for a rebuild of SAS Studio from a proprietary technology to React/Redux, including working across teams to support Query, a general purpose step used both in our graphical code builder and as as standalone component of SAS Studio

Senior Software Engineer

July 2021 - July 2022
  • Worked closely with the product team to prioritize and scope projects while facilitating daily standups and sprint planning
  • Partnered with the China team to deliver a new way of issuing Fapiao (a Chinese payment receipt) that removed the need for a third-party vendor and reduced processing fees

Software Engineer

November 2014 - July 2021
  • Streamlined four different e-commerce purchase processes into a single, consistent system for the author services business line

  • Improved internal tooling and created a Pull Request bot to help fellow engineers review pull requests more promptly
  • Helped consolidate our legacy tech stack over multiple years (two versions of a PHP framework, three templating engines, and several asset build systems) into a modern Dockerized API backend with a React/Redux front-end
  • Worked with HR to update survey policy to eliminate gender-specific identifiers, and took on a growing role in DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) initiatives
