Experience
Sonder's Back-office Application
https://www.sonder.com/The main tool support is using the back-office software, which my development team and I collaborated with the design team to re-write the application's front end and provide the necessary API to support it.
Shortly after the product launch, we saw efficiency improvement with an estimated value in time savings of around $400,000 a year.
Charlotte Cardin's Merch Store
https://charlotte-cardin-shop.myshopify.com/collections/merchA four-person North American company that was in charge of merchandising previously had to contact a developer any time a change was required on the store pages.
I delivered a Shopify website that seamlessly transitioned to the buyers as the existing styles and links were perfectly ported from the current site. In addition, products and branding can now be maintained by anyone without a developer's assistance.
Since then, the store has been serving an average of 100 daily orders and many more on new album releases.
Vincent d'Amerique's Boutique
