Started a Candle Company from the ground up in my house over the course of 2 weeks. (not including time it took to learn how to make candles). I set up the website, advertisements, merchant accounts, bank account, business registration, and third party seller accounts (facebook, amazon, instagram, etsy, etc) as well as social media and product photos and descriptions.
Built on Google App Engine Flexible with Python and JS/JQuery this web application is high performing and scalable allowing users to connect with one another as well as receive information about games they own across many different web APIs. This application is built from the ground up by myself outside of SaaS services like wordpress for efficiency and algorithm based dynamic page rendering.
Built with Adobe XD and Illustrator (icons)
Back end code and design for this project is under NDA and as such I can't speak on it in too much detail. HOWEVER I can provide sanitized code samples at request. This is the most involved and structured project I have worked on to date and I am extremely happy with the current state of the backend of this app.
Ongoing maintenance is necessary for scaling websites such as this. As bugs pop up and more users join the site adjustments in business direction and user requirements change. As a retainer client I actively monitor bug and error reports and fix things on the fly as necessary.
Gamer Queue is more than just a web app. It is a concept and idea that we work on day in and day out as such we have constant changes and feature additions as well as user feedback which I actively monitor. Taking steps towards an all inclusive hub for team managers, players, and casual users alike looking for updates and community within their favorite games.
This is a website for advertising services for a local company called barrierads that handles concrete banner and product displays in the racing industry. A long time client of mine that has been working alongside large raceways for 10+ years. Has clients like Porsche, Formula Drift, Evergreen speedway, and many more.
A quick Q&A with myself to determine website copy and needs. This client wanted a contact form as well as a quick history on the company and information on product.
During the consultation stage I will find out what current branding exists for the site and look around for solutions within that scope. Barrierads has a history of using White/Black/Gold and I used that information to build out the current design of the site
Maintenance needs for this site include periodic copy updates, new client logo drops, and occasional product information tweaks. This site sits to provide information for leads so it is important to have up-to-date as possible information available. With my retainer pricing I am on reserve to update this site and it's copy whenever necessary within the day.
