I re-platformed the site from SaaS to WordPress, created a custom block theme based on the Mastercard design guide, built custom blocks to support designed components, and migrated blog posts using web scraping techniques.

Redeveloped and rebranded the ekata website to align with Mastercard design guidelines, using a WordPress built-in block editor (Gutenberg) to manage complex designs through the CMS.

HIGHLIGHTS
• Custom block theme
• Used wp-scripts (a webpack preset) for assets bundling
• Custom blocks
• Advanced custom fields

A Vue-based app to calculate savings when spending credit cards for travel costs.

Features highlight:

• Enhanced UI/UX
• Accessibility enhancement (users are able to use and navigate through the app with their keyboard)
• Clean and responsive design

A Mastercard selector widget for ATB bank helps customers find the right credit card by navigating through the app and making selections.

Built by Vue.js and packaged by Vue CLI, using Vue Router in an abstract mode.
