  • Popularium (Development)

    I work at Popularium as a front-end developer, UX designer, and acquisitions editor. I developed the front-end of the site with Django, HTML/CSS, Sass, Foundation, Git, Vagrant, Gulp, jQuery, and JavaScript. I also created the wireframes or designs for many of the UX flows and features.

  • CrowdRise (Development)
    https://www.crowdrise.com/

    I worked here for three years—on most of the pages and features of the site, including setting up the front-end architecture which is depended on still by the website. It wasn't responsive when I got there, so that was my biggest priority. For this project, I used Foundation, Gulp, Sass, HTML/CSS, PHP, CodeIgniter, and Git/SVN.

    I converted this company's old, bloated codebase into a leaner, meaner one. I made it responsive and more efficient using PHP, Laravel, Blade, Bootstrap, and HTML/CSS/jQuery/JavaScript.
