Project Delivery Senior Manager
Deloitte
- Prototyped a front-end interface to a ServiceNow back-end form using AngularJS and continued to iterate on the design as the customer decided on the requirements.
- Built a ServiceNow application from the ground up with an AngularJS front-end. I built out a custom set of components for a step-by-step view of the form to make it easier for the end user.
- Developed a style guide for an application using HTML, CSS, and a splash of jQuery to analyze the page and generate contrasts for colors, buttons, headers, and other UI elements.
