I was the sole developer of a content translation service that enables people to submit content and request translations in several of the over 30 languages supported by the platform. On this platform, translators can translate content into other languages they speak, and other translators can review the translations to ensure their quality and readability. There is complete transparency for all involved parties through the lifecycle of the content being translated through visible status updates, platforms, email notifications, and comments.

A web app built with Laravel and React to drive the engagement of attendees of a 5-day conference. It was created specifically for mobile devices and designed to look and feel like a retro video game, with activities and tasks to keep conference attendees engaged. These included scavenger hunts based on QR codes, answering trivia questions, voting on user-submitted content, a referral system to encourage more users to join, and submitting art drawn on the website.

A handmade Shopify earring shop with a theme built from scratch. It is fast, full-featured, and highly customizable. I worked as the sole developer of this shop, with no prior Shopify experience before creating it.

An educational program and community that kickstarts and supports people looking to shift to a vegan diet and lifestyle. I built the first iteration of the platform, a project that spanned over six months. The platform included several courses, each consisting of lessons and quizzes. Upon completing a course, users were awarded points they could trade for coupons provided by partnering organizations and businesses.

The website also included a referral system, allowing users to obtain points by getting others to register, complete with a dashboard to see how many users they brought to the site. This project was part of the organization's larger one involving another website, so I implemented an OAuth provider that made user statistics and account details accessible. All aspects of the website, from coupons and course contents to color and background images, were manageable using the custom-built admin panel.

The project was built using Ruby on Rails and Ember.js and was designed to encourage users to save money. They could create groups and invite friends and family to join. The website would then host monthly competitions to see who could spend the least. The project was live between 2016 and 2020.

I was one of three developers who built Paloma's MVP, a platform that marketers use to connect with potential customers through Facebook Messenger. I took over the project started by two developers and brought it across the finish line. One of the biggest tasks I worked on was building a feature that allowed marketers to set up automated chat responses, which included the ability to ask customers questions and respond accordingly.
