Hi! I’m a passionate web developer who has spent the past 15 years living and working mostly in New York City. My experience has spanned agency work, publishing, and education technology, including organizations such as DOOR3 and WW Norton. I specialize in the overlap between development and design to create elegant applications with engaging user interfaces.
I used to be a professional musician and still practice daily. Some of the instruments I play include drums, percussion, piano, and bass.
Senior Front End Architect
Everlink is a web portal built for Everest Re Group that allows users to quote, track, and issue insurance policies. Its 7-step process simplifies the submission workflow for agents, brokers, and admins who use the application across all 50 states.
Developer
I was tasked by DOOR3 with a sales pursuit for IFundWomen which involved prototyping a site in 2 days based on a few screenshots. Using Photoshop, color meters, and leaning on my background in design, I identified the fonts, generated assets, and built a fully functioning prototype that won the contract.
Lead Front End Developer
The redesign of Freedom Mortgage's Broker Portal legacy system is currently used by 10,000 loan officers across the United States. It allows the process of estimating, creating, and editing loans as well as capturing and modifying all necessary financial data throughout the lifecycle of a loan.
Developer & Designer
This was a fun side project that I built in React after stumbling across an API that returns all SpaceX launch data. The app fetches and displays the data and badges with a friendly and searchable layout. Check it out.
Lead Front End Developer
In an effort to increase participation of the peer review process, Freedom Mortgage implemented a pilot program that leveraged concepts of gamification. Features include a live user feed, customizable leaderboard, interactive badge wall, and an admin panel for the creation and management of games.
Front End Maint. & Updates
WW Norton is internationally known for their anthologies of literature, music, and history. While working with this powerhouse of publishing, I was responsible for a wide variety of author websites including that of renowned novelist and financial journalist Michael Lewis. The site is responsive and features dynamic, custom filtering for all press articles.
UI/UX Designer
I worked with this Brooklyn-based adventure startup to help launch their travel app. The process of designing the user interface and user experience involved everything from sketching and storyboarding to wireframes and interactive prototyping. Invision and Keynote were invaluable tools during this process and allowed for the creation of rapid prototypes at impressively high fidelity. I also designed and developed the landing page.
Front End Developer
In addition to creating author websites and student study spaces for WW Norton, I also contributed to the development of their adaptive learning software. Written in JavaScript and relying on CSS transitions for their animation, these flashcards are dynamic, customizable, and supported across all browsers as well as Norton’s e-reader.
Design & Development
Sarah Thornton is an author, ethnographer, and sociologist of culture who served as the chief writer of contemporary art for The Economist. Her last book Seven Days in the Art World was an international best-seller that has been translated into 17 different languages. One of the challenges with designing this site was providing easy access to all purchasing options and critical reviews for each translation without cluttering the UI.
Front End Developer
Over the years of designing and developing sites and applications I’ve worked extensively with PHP. This website was for a Brooklyn-based music house that needed to convert from a previous content management system to WordPress. The design features a sleek and simple showcase of the group's television and film work.
