Joel Straley

I'm a Fullstack Web Developer with 1.5 years of professional experience using the frameworks React and Laravel with Javascript and PHP to write, update and deploy code to production.

Before learning to code, my experience has been in operational logistics in fast-paced environments. I worked as an Operations Specialist for Uber for 6+ years and spent the 2020 pandemic working with The Migrant Kitchen to build a dynamic logistics strategy to deliver 1,000 meals a day, six days a week to NYC residents across all 5 boroughs.
Outside of work, I've been involved in Improv and Sketch comedy for 10+ years in NYC and enjoy making short films.

My previous role was at Refersion, an enterprise-level (60k+ users) Affiliate Marketing Management app, developing and maintaining a reusable and responsive component library to create scalable single page applications. I've worked in an Agile (Scrum) environment with a high-performing team that consistently exceeded sprint goals, often completing projects before deadlines and under budget.
