Full Stack development with a focus on Laravel, React, React Native, and web based application solutions.

I worked on a team of 7-9 people to brand and market UWKC, run fundraising campaigns, marketing campaigns, and other fun and challenging projects. I utilized my skills in front web development daily, coding in Javascript, React, jQuery, HTML, and CSS. I was able to develop backend internal tools and improve site performance using a custom WordPress theme built in PHP. This theme went through several iterations of UI and UX audits focusing on accessibility and inclusiveness for the front end. This not only increased user engagement, but also donations! I had the pleasure of building internal tools for other teams, connecting the website to our CRM solution in Microsoft Dynamics, and using Azure Cosmos DB and Azure functions to create some really cool live fundraising micro-apps. To improve our SEO efforts I created an internal SEO auditing tool that used the power of OpenAI to scan hundreds of URLs, rank keyword use, and compare content to site purpose and intention. This was a fun job, great team, and I loved every minute!Developed internal tools for analytics and reporting on web metrics and donation metricsImproved search engine ranking of key pages, bringing them to the top of google search resultsImproved Lighthouse metric score of key pages by up to 40%Improved TTFB of entire website by multiple seconds by creating a custom back end theme in PHPImplemented custom asset caching system using MySQL, Javascript, and PHPDeveloped internal tool for workplace giving campaigns and connecting them to CRMDeveloped internal tool for SEO auditing and strategy using OpenAIDeveloped client-facing tool for locating tax sites using Leaflet and Bing MapsPerformed UX/UI audits and oversaw site redesigns and deployments to improve user engagement and accessibilityDeveloped event fundraising tools including live donor feeds using Azure functionsOversaw multiple online giving fundraisers incorporating multiple mediums and across multiple teams to raise over $1,000,000

Working as Ravenna’s web developer was a short-lived but treasured experience. I had done some contract work for them and they wanted to bring me on full-time because they liked my work. Unfortunately they could not keep me on, but I still have a great working relationship with them and perform contract work for them, which is reflected in the list below. This is where I learned to work with a tech focused team including project managers, designers, and other developers. We built some really cool websites in Laravel, architected a custom CRM, and developed internal container tools in Vagrant and Docker to speed up production. Since leaving, I’ve worked on mobile phone apps for them in React Native, specifically for a fintech money saving app, and am architecting a large freight shipping web app for them using Laravel. Contract Work:Performed heuristic UI and UX evaluations on banking websitesDeveloped money saving phone app using React Native, Plaid, and SolidPerformed security audits on web UI elements and REST APIsDeveloping web app to create, track, and resolve large freight shipping orders for a local northwest shipping company in LaravelFull time work:Developed REST APIsDeveloped responsive, mobile-friendly websites for clients utilizing the Wordpress and Laravel frameworksWorked on custom CMS using LaravelArchitected databases for clients using MySQLDeveloped Store Locator web apps using google maps and Wordpress as a headless CMS

This was my first intern gig and was also a contract position. After freelancing on my own for a long time. I finally got my break in the web dev world with Ravenna. As you can see from earlier in my resume, I formed a very good working relationship with them, and was even hired as a full-time employee for a while.Developed websites for clients utilizing the Wordpress and Laravel frameworks.Developed pixel perfect web layouts from Photoshop designs.
