Experience

  • Metrics for Professional Athletes at Their Fingertips

    A React app built for professional athletes using customized Lottie graphics and diagrams for athletes to view their personalized scores and health tips.

    The company takes thorough fitness tests for professional athletes to measure their growth over time. They can also measure the bone structure and the effect that jumping or running has on the athletes' bodies and protect them from injuries in the future.

  • White Label Intranet Project for a Client's High-profile Customers

    The project involved creating multiple Angular-based intranet sites for our client's customers. This intranet was white-labeled to personalize each of their customer's projects. We could brand each intranet in a simple form and provide brand colors.

    The company's purpose was to provide its clients with workplace training, and its mission was to make each site personalized while still maintaining the structure they wanted.

  • Internal Site for a Private Banking and Investment Management Company

    An intranet built with IBM CoreMedia. Throughout the project, I ran on-site training sessions with business executives and employees to train them on the usability of their CoreMedia instance. I used BEM to style each component and give the client the flexibility to change a component as much as possible. I also documented each step and wrote a 90-page content author guide to help the content team understand each use case with step-by-step instructions for content creation.
