Autodesk’s Redshift

I developed and maintained the Redshift blog for Autodesk. I was responsible for front-end development, WordPress integration, and developing bespoke plugins to solve tasks unique to the site. I also developed and maintained APIs to communicate with external applications.

The site gathers over 100,000 visitors a month and has won a few awards for the best editorial/blog.

Heystack

Heystack is a Vue.js-powered front end and Python-powered REST back end.

I was responsbile for the front-end architecture, component design, and data integration. I worked closely with the back-end team to make sure the endpoints were set up to be efficient.

Medium Rapid Prototyping

I was signed on to assist Medium’s design team to rapidly prototype their identification cards to help generate user feedback faster and more consistently. The project lasted six months and supported design directions on a few new features they were planning.

I was responsible for developing an API to bypass their out-of-date internal API, allowing external apps the ability to more easily consume the data.
