Experience

Evenrun

https://evenrun.com/

An Angular-based app built for managing content for multiple websites. As a sole developer working on this project, I developed it from scratch, improved it continuously, and considered user feedback to tailor it to the needs and convenience of the users.

Account App for eCommerce Website

A React-based app for eCommerce clients to track and manage their rentals and purchases. I was a front-end developer building this app from scratch in a team of two. We successfully utilized Shopify API for all back-end operations, which was a challenge due to limitations of the type and amount of functionality requests demanded by the client.

Website to CMS Integration

https://www.menta.org.uk/

A company website designed to provide info and sell courses. I was a full-stack engineer tasked to integrate said website with an in-home CMS while maintaining the existing freedom of editability of the website for the customer. The first challenge was to migrate the data from a proprietary CMS using scripts due to a lack of tools for exporting. The next challenge was to refactor the existing codebase with a new CMS structure.

eCommerce Website

https://www.oppobrothers.com/

A Shopify-based eCommerce website. I was a full-stack developer tasked with setting up a new store from scratch with provided designs while providing a certain level of editability using Shopify customization tools.
