During the three years that I worked at NBC News, I cared a lot about web page optimization. For every project that I delivered within NBCNews, I ran extensive performance tests to ensure that the web pages are fast on desktop and mobile, are junk-free and enjoyable by the end users. As an example of my deep involvement in performance optimization, I was able to trim down the number of HTTP requests for highest-traffic pages by 100-150 requests (out of 250-300 total). This is the kind of work I’ve done for web performance:

• Page size and speed analysis
• Code optimization
• Removal of legacy 3rd party integrations
• Lean widget development

Technologies used:

• Google Analytics
• WebpageTest.org
• BrowserStack and Selenium, ModernIE
• JS, image and video optimization
• Chrome Developer Tools
