* Became a go-to resource for technical questions both because you have ways of quickly finding the answers and because you're so darn nice about it.
* Managed major changes in the codebase as a result of new and improved patterns in the Javascript ecosystem by both implementing and working with individual teams to incorporate into sprint work
* Jumped into product team sprints for short bursts to help get a new project off the ground
* Mentored developers newer to our frameworks and codebase
