My Work
Portfolio
Description
Course Library: I lead the development of a library of courses for students with disabilities. It leverages the latest web technologies and is influenced by the modern Neubrutalist style.
Highlights
- •Customizable User Guide: The platform allows for a customizable user guide using "blocks" that can be added, removed, and reordered. This includes a live preview feature.
- •Performance Optimization: Uses statically generated pages and Vue.js / React islands, combined with serverless functions. This allows for the best of both worlds, and maximizes performance.
- •Responsive Design: The tiled layout uses Tailwind's grid system, and changes in significant ways for mobile and tablet devices.
Astro, React, Tailwind, Serverless Functions, Contentful, Github Actions, Azure
Description
Real-Time Event Platform for Universities: I developed the front-end for a platform for universities to manage events, workshops, registration and attendance. Think "Eventbrite" but for universities and related stakeholders.
Highlights
- •Event-Driven Architecture: Uses an event-driven architecture to manage the complex and real-time nature of registrations and reservations.
- •Enterprise Grade: Built with enterprise grade permissions and workflows for various user groups, such as high school teachers, school boards, and university administrators.
React, C#, Blazor, Bootstrap, SASS, Azure
Description
Dynamic UI Based on GraphQL Schema: I built an internal content management tool to dynamically generate UIs based on a GraphQL schema.
Highlights
- •Dynamic and Recursive UI: Allows for a variety of deeply nested content types and for the UI to be generated recursively in a dynamic way.
- •CRUD Operations: Generates the UI as well as Create, Read, Update, and Delete requests based on the schema.
Vue, Nuxt, Vuex, Vuetify, GraphQL, Tailwind
Description
Components Library & Team Cross-Pollination: I spearheaded an initiative to help increase communication and knowledge sharing between disparate dev teams. Included in the solution set was a components library that makes it easy for junior developers to share their components.
Highlights
- •Facilitates Collaboration & Knowledge Sharing: Reduces developer "siloization" and redundancy of effort. Allows greater consistency and polish between projects.
- •Easily Extendable: Allows junior developers to quickly add new components and documentation.
Vue, Nuxt, Tailwind, Git Modules
Description
Invoice Creator: I developed a desktop application from the ground up for contractors to manage clients and projects, create invoices, and generate monthly and quarterly reports.
Highlights
- •Leverages Web Technologies on Desktop: Built using web technologies such as Vue, but deployed as a desktop application.
- •Maximizing Efficiency: A critical feature was the ability for the user to quickly create invoices. From a development perspective, this meant lots of "auto-magical" form filling and validation.
Vue, Nuxt, Vuex, Vuetify, Serverless Functions, Prisma, SQL
Description
Building Inspection Mobile App: I designed and developed a mobile application to help building inspectors perform inspections and manage deficiencies and permit fees.
Highlights
- •Offline Use & Syncing: Allows for offline use, which is particularly useful for development projects in rural areas.
- •Intuitive UI Design: I spent time in the field with building inspectors to understand their needs and ensure I created a UI that is both simple and intuitive for their daily operations.
Flex, MXML, ActionScript, PHP, MySQL, HTML, CSS, JavaScript
Description
Building Inspection Desktop App: I helped gather requirements, then built a desktop application for managing building inspectors, GIS Maps, permit fees, building permits, and reporting to various government and non-profit agencies.
Highlights
- •Powerful and Accessible UI: When designing the interface, I emphasized the core features and made the more complicated features come in second in the visual hierarchy. This allowed for a gradual onboarding of users and made the application more accessible.
- •Identifying Key Requirements: During the requirements gathering process, I recognized that most time loss was due to reporting. This caused the company to pivot and focus on reporting features.
