Software Developer in Calgary, AB, Canada

I was hired by McKeil Marine to design and develop an internal web application to record and track their shipping fleet.
The UI was designed in Figma using Google's Material library. The frontend of the app itself was created with HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and PHP. Additional developers were used to set up the Microsoft SQL databases and write stored procedures.
McKeil's app was heavily reliant on these stored procedures. One of the most common processes was for a user to make a dropdown selection or button press. This data would be gathered in Javascript and sent to a PHP file that called the appropriate SQL stored procedure. When received, the PHP file would then send its response back to the frontend via JSON, which would then be parsed and displayed in the UI.
Overall, the application required extensive knowledge of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, and a moderate level of PHP experience. Asynchronous calls were very important, including JS ES6 promises.
The project repository was maintained with Git, packages managed with Node.js, and project files compiled with Webpack.
