Remote worker with 6+ years of experience - Last seen 9 months ago

I am a web designer turned front-end developer with a passion for building and creating with code. During my first position as a graphic designer I was charged with updating the company website. Since I am a designer at heart, I started learning HTML and CSS so I could better control how the content appeared on the site. I quickly realized that I had a knack for coding and over the last decade I made the transition from designer to a designer / developer hybrid to front-end developer. The transition was very natural and I have thoroughly enjoyed the journey so far. My goals for the future is to complete my Full-Stack certification I'm currently working on and becoming certified in web accessibility.

Most of my experience has been with marketing agencies large (r2integrated and 160over90) and small (Unidev). While I was at Unidev I was a designer / developer hybrid which gave me a rare opportunity of being able to take a project through the entire process. I met with clients and discussed their businesses and what their specific needs were for their websites. I worked closely with project managers and maintained contact with clients throughout the wireframing and mockup stages and I worked on building the final product. One such project was for Healthcare+, a company that provided management web application for hospital / hospice workers. The code had become severely outdated and wasn't mobile ready. We were tasked with updating and reskinning the application. It was one of the most intensive project I had ever worked on. I designed the UI which had multiple sections and dynamic menus. There were hundreds of pages that had to be stripped of inline styles and replaced with semantic HTML. There were a lot of moving parts and it was incredibly difficult given the reduced deadline, but we were able to deliver a mobile ready product that provided healthcare workers with an all-in-one application that helped them be able to do their jobs without having to fight the software.

I have 11 years of professional experience in front-end development and I enjoy working on teams that promote learning and helping each other. I have worked on a wide variety of websites and web applications, many of which introduced me to something I hadn't encountered before. This has enabled me to be flexible with my code and pick up new concepts/software/languages quickly. I enjoy new challenges and look forward to continuing my career in the field of development.
