- Developed websites, web applications, and content management systems for clients across industries. Focused on ensuring responsive design, user-friendly interfaces, and scalability to meet client needs.- Worked with content management and eCommerce solutions like WordPress, Drupal, Expression Engine, Magento, and Microsoft's .NET.- Collaborated with cross-functional teams to deliver 5+ major projects on time, involving designers, project managers, and QA teams to ensure all requirements were met and high-quality standards were achieved.Another aspect of working at PRPL that I enjoy is continuing education within the company. While working here, I have started several different programs to motivate, and educate myself, and my coworkers. They include:DevTakeover: A semi-monthly half-day long event where the developers all work together in our main conference room. I created this event in an effort to decrease the friction of communication within our department. Several side-projects have been born during this event just by casually bouncing ideas off one another.DevFeud: A semi-annual engineering competition. Working for an agency can sometimes get uninspiring, I created this event to motivate myself and others to pick up new technologies and spark passion for creating fun things we traditionally wouldn't work on. Past topics include video games, and HUD information for a wall-mounted tv for the office.DevMeeting: A weekly meeting where developers present on a topic of their choosing, usually on technology they are just learning. This has sparked growth, as not only is the department learning about a specific topic, but the presenter is exploring something they have been wanting to learn, and are learning it in depth enough to teach it to the department.
