Audited existing deployments to ensure they are indeed working as intended and to investigate possible issues reported by clients. Integrated features with many of the most popular analytics tracking suites and ensured campaigns were tracked accurately.

This was my first cooperate job ever. I had never worked with a team or heard of Jira, was lax on SVN of any kind. You could say I was skilled in ability and utterly lost in practice. At the time, my amazing manage Anna took a shot on a college drop out outback server and gave him a chance; an action which I will be forever grateful for. It was over a year of learning everything I could and learning the ins and outs of an industry. Unfortunately, for the industry, area, and even experience, I was limited in growth where I was and needed to move on.
