A reskin on an existing Wordpress site under a tight deadline and with several front end developers working simultaneously on the project. Complete redesign requiring an overhaul of existing Javascript. The site heavily uses Scss and Timber to keep the site in a template format for easy updates and recycling of design elements.
I was asked to prototype a webpage that would provide a list of options a user could pick from and output food recipes based around a theme which resulted in hundreds of combinations. The prototype was completed in a few days and was skinned to look like the mockup using Handlebars, Sass, with Javascript to AJAX data and worked into their existing Wordpress site.
Glad to Give is a campaign by Glad partnered with Donation Town using social media to promote donations locally in the user’s area and for scheduling curbside donation pickups. As a side project on this website there is also a service Glad provides that send SMS messages to users reminding them to put out their trash cans for the week.
Developed an ASP.net customer facing search portal using JavaScript and REST API services for looking up health inspection reports for local businesses in Sonoma County. I was chosen for the contract because of my experience with Bootstrap and ASP.net. The new search page is currently not yet published still pending final approval of an iOS application scheduled to be released at the same time.
Virtual Binder was my main project at Littler. For the most part Virtual Binder was a data entry application that implemented as many tricks we could think of to speed up data entry and make it as fluid as possible. The application actually created 30 jobs at the company and was a very high profile project for Littler.
Littler’s development team heavily uses ASP.net which I was not familiar with previously, but my background in MVC, and solid understanding of programming fundamentals and multiple programming languages made it relatively easy to learn ASP and be able to fit in with their team. It did take some outside research on my part, but learning ASP.net reminded me of initially learning web development as a kid back when GeoCities was popular.
In addition to my regular work on Virtual Binder for Littler I was asked to take a look at a legacy application that compiled legal data into a dashboard full of graphs with several layers of drilling down and data filtering. The existing application had some complicated database calls that resulted in very long loading times, and also all of the graphs where created on the server side as an image at runtime which consequently added even more to the load time. By leveraging highcharts.js I was able to move a lot of the work the server did to the front end allowing JavaScript to AJAX the data and display the graphs when available. Optimizing the database calls using stored procedures and caching the initially loaded data for a user took an application that would on average take about 90 seconds to load down to a 10th of a second.

Created the promotional website for an under development iOS app called WordTag that was launched with the app. The site was simply a landing page and only required HTML, CSS and light JavaScript for some of the parallaxing background elements. After the successful completion of the project I was asked to modify an existing Facebook app called Yearbook beyond the initial scope of my contract position.
Originally hired by Juxta Labs to create a promotional landing page for their upcoming app WordTag, I was asked to modify an existing legacy Facebook app written using HTML, CSS, JavaScript with a backend using CodeIgniter (PHP). Juxta wanted to do a refresh on the app by adding a music section and enhance the site using the then new Facebook Graph API.
