Front-end Developer
Virtual Realty, LLC (via Toptal)
- Implemented an interactive search for the users to be able to see properties for sale based on bounds given by the search term with the help of Google Maps. This would update each listing based on the position of the map you're on and based on how many properties can be seen in your viewport of the current map.
- Created the interface for the user registration flows, where a user could be registered as a buyer a seller or a realtor, each having his own flow. The most complex was the seller where a user had to follow a specific flow and fill in a complex but easy form in order to be registered as a seller, a form which would search in previous listing databases if that property was listed and pre-fill itself if it was the case, to maximize user retention on the page.
- Created most of the core functionality using Vue.js and Vuex to communicate with the back end.
- Translated every design into working and interactive, responsive pages.

My responsibilities in this project were translating the UX/UI into working, semantic, and interactive components in Vue and bringing to life the communication between the API and the front end. I created all the user flows and the JavaScript interactions required by these. Also, I created and contributed to creating all the front-end logic for the UX and the site's architecture. Styling was made using SCSS, resulting in a robust codebase and a fully responsive page.
Jira was used as the PM platform. We've functioned as a team under the Scrum methodology.
Version control was assured by Bitbucket.
Music Against Animal Cruelty
https://savethemwithsound.orgI've been maintaining their site in Squarespace with minor and medium-sized tasks (none of which took more than a couple of days of work). Right now, I'm putting together an action plan for my team to do a bigger pro-bono job, to move the whole site from Squarespace to WordPress and build a custom theme that looks similar to the one they have now, with major improvements to the layout and the SEO. The main reason is to provide them the possibility to auto-sustain themselves and the site, not having to pay anybody else to maintain the content on the site.
