Luxoft
Frontend-focused development for Expedia. Built accessible, mobile-first UIs with React and Backbone. Enforced test coverage with Nightwatch and Cucumber, and maintained tight performance budgets across all deliverables.
The Role
Joined Luxoft as a contractor working directly with Expedia's engineering teams in Guadalajara, Mexico. This was my transition from full-stack to frontend-focused development, where I discovered my passion for UI engineering.
Mobile-First Development
Built accessible, responsive UIs in a time when mobile-first was still an emerging practice. Learned to think about touch targets, viewport constraints, and progressive enhancement from the ground up.
Testing Culture
Enforced end-to-end test coverage using Nightwatch and Cucumber. This experience shaped my belief that testing isn't a tax — it's a feature that lets teams move faster with confidence.
