Experienced in designing and coding cross-browser compatable websites. Looking to make a difference that impact customers in a positive way.
4x developers and 3.5 days. The challenge for this project was creating an algorithm that could put together a 500-room maze and attach a front-end that could display that maze as well as navigate it. For this project I was able to create the algorithm that created that map and helped with getting our front-end to be mobile friendly.
5x developers, 2x UI designers, 1x team lead, 1.5 months. We created an app that pulls live data from an authenticated Instagram account and displays it on a map at its specified geolocation. After helping to setup the initial backend code, I worked on the responsive front-end application login/logout, map display, pins and pin events, and css. Unfortunately, the Instagram API changes broke our application so it is no longer viewable.
Backend for an ExPat Journaling app. The challenge of this project was creating endpoints and working with the frontend developers to create the app. Providing endpoints that they expected and documenting what they needed to give me and expect in return. Documentation for this backend can be found in the Github Repo.
A small weather app that uses a public API. The challenge of this project was using their endpoints to retrieve the data I wanted to display. In this case, it meant having to hit two different endpoints because I needed the data from one endpoint to successfully retrieve what I wanted from the other.
I was a contractor working with the PuppySpot development team. The main challenge of this project was making sure that the code was created in such a way that the development team could easily templatize it on hand-off.
As part of the design team at Spark Networks, I designed and coded this round of splash pages for the ChristianMingle website. It was the first time we turned away from our old version after having succeeded in A/B testing.
With no developer available for this project, they asked since it was known that I could code. The challenge for this project was taking what we already had and turning it into a responsive site so that the developer team could templatize and implement it.
The biggest challenge for this project was getting that header collage to work grab live data from Facebook and Flickr, display user photos of the tagged posts then, on click, display the user’s quote about the Activity they participated in.
After graduating with a Bachelor’s Degree in Fine Arts with an Emphasis in Graphic Design, I spent the next years working as a designer and coder as part of a team and a freelancer. I was always interested in building websites since high school when I was first introduced to it. Later on learning CSS and PHP as I worked on building my own themes for WordPress.
I have worked on a multitude of web and print based projects providing branding, graphic & web design (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, XD) and development (HTML, CSS, JS, jQuery, SCSS, WordPress, Bootstrap, Zurb Foundation, Responsive Layouts). Recently, I have been working on personal projects using React, Redux, Node.js, Python, and Django working solo and with other developers.
