...project I worked on was MyLowes. We created the MyLowes card and developed the application for registering and tracking a user's purchase history.
Employment
Experience
- Polymer Component Library
Utilized Polymer, ES6, Babel, SASS, and Bootstrap to develop a library with 40+ reusable components for the rebranded TIAA secure experience.
- React LED Calculatorhttp://outfit.rhinoledlights.com/
Developed a React application for an online retailer of LED Light Bars that allows customers to choose their voltage, select any number of LED light bars and view the total calculation of watts, amps and pricing. Depending on the quantity and type of products selected, a discount was applied. Utilizing Shopify API customers could then have the order sent to a Shopify Checkout.
- JSFiddle Clone
Because developers like the quick jsFiddle/CodePen sandbox environment but are unable to save and share work on external sites, I created an internal clone that saves to a local database with custom extensions for existing component library.
- React Timers
Developed a set of timers for a popular Xbox/Win10 game to track cooking times of various meats with notifications.
- Responsive Preview
Created an internal application to allow users to view and share links to prototypes with a defined breakpoint. Options like iPhone6, iPad, Desktop and more.
- jQuery Component Library
Developed an ADA-compliant, jQuery based shared component library utilized on TIAA public pages.
- MyLowes
Created the MyLowes card for Lowes Home Improvement that was used to track a user's purchase history. I handled all aspects of the registration including generating barcodes for temporary cards until a physical card could be mailed. The purchase history including sorting and filtering as well as options for setting Reminders on purchases to reorder.
- Lowes Product Details and Comparison
Redeveloped the Lowes product detail pages. As part of this project I utilized 3rd party services to receive product price comparisons from other retailers.
