E-Learnings:
Created interactive e-learnings designed to teach users about various products in order to be better informed when serving
customers. The e-learnings are developed using HTML, CSS, SVGs, JQuery, JavaScript, JSON, and GreenSock. They are created
to be multi-lingual, and are distributed all over the world across various browsers.
Infographics:
Custom coded interactive infographics are built using HTML, CSS, SVG, JQuery, Javascript, JSON, GreenSock, and waypoints.js.
The goal of the infographics is to help educate the user on the products that they will be selling to customers. The infographics
can display up to 30 different languages while running only on one set of files.
Goodies:
Various one off projects and plugins are created using HTML, CSS, SVG, JQuery, Javascript, and GreenSock. Projects have varied
from a decoder promotion event, quiz battle, profile creator prototype, mini educational game, to plugins. All of the projects are
coded from scratch based on needs or to demo out future ideas.
At Truman State University, I pursued the studies of graphic design, which has always been a
hobby and passion of mine. At Truman State University, I received a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Visual
Communication. After graduation, I became a freelance graphic designer. I designed a wide variety
of products including websites for defense companies and BBQ products designs.
While freelancing, a job opportunity presented itself at MonsterCommerce (later Network Solutions
and currently Web.com). This ended up being a great opportunity for me to acquire experience and
knowledge from. I designed and set up both traditional and e-commerce websites for every type of
business imaginable during my time at Network Solutions. After Network Solutions, I returned to
freelancing where I learned to grow my coding skills while continuing to design websites. I taught
myself the coding skills needed to create websites from scratch that will work across all browsers.
During this period, I decided to shift my career from designing websites to coding them. It was then
that I discovered my love of HTML, CSS, JQuery, and JavaScript. With these new skills, I became a
front-end web developer at FleishmanHillard. At FleishmanHillard, I worked on projects for major
companies ranging from AT&T to the State of Iowa. I acquired many new skills at FleishmanHillard
from using WordPress to work in multiple languages.
After FleishmanHillard, I took a position at Motivational Technologies and became a Senior
Interactive Developer. I was hired to convert their flash base e-learnings into HTML / Javascript and
train the flash developers to understand HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. I consider this an exciting
opportunity since it’s something I could create from scratch and begin on the ground floor of. After
proving that we could switch over to HTML and create e-learnings, we started winning more
projects involving infographics, articles, and mobile. My department evolved from just creating one
type of content to handling all of the content creation for the website we run. I have also pushed for
my department to be more efficient by automating many tasks for pushing responsive projects to
save my department time and money. There I expanded my skill set into motion animation, SVG
animations and manipulation, interactive and e-learning development, and custom plugin creation.
Currently I work at Viasat in the marketing department as a front end developer. I develop custom
WordPress themes for multilingual websites using Bootstrap, SASS/CSS, JSON, and Javascript. I
get to join in on Scrum runs to help develop ReactJS components for the pattern library. I help
educate stakeholders in the company on the process of developing website. I always look forward
to the next challenge!
