Understanding the performance benefits and nuances of web tech enable a smooth 60 frame per second user experience. As a designer smooth ux is a high priority for me, as a developer I just wanna show off my work :].  I have experience tuning for mobile and desktop, from single pages, to visualizers, to game development.

I worked on a sizable front-end team on a single large scale repo with millions of users. There I learned how to manage a repo and work together to get features done and bugs fixed. That and personal projects have taught me how to prevent merge issues and fix commit history problems with confidence.

I use Node daily in my development workflow, but I’ve created a number of back-ends using Express, Koa, other Restful solutions or hand-written RPC solutions. For the benefit of performance, I’ve integrated Serverside rendering lazy-loading. Regularly work with and modify build systems written with Webpack and Babel, or Gulp, Browserify, etc..

Worked with large and small scale systems. Single page apps, visualization demos, web games, and static sites. I can handle architecture, performance, feature development, design of web projects. Prefer ES6 and React projects, but very familiar with Backbone, Jquery, most MVC and Flux frameworks, charting and map libraries as well.

I immensely enjoyed working with the HTML5 platform as it became more standard. I’m known for creating a CSS music visualizer, using the Web Audio API. I’ve written an abstraction layer for the Gamepad API, since it can be hard to work with. And I’ve worked on several projects that have used higher-end web technology, like the Service Worker, Websockets, and Geolocation.

Started with Flash, and transitioned to HTML5 game and mobile game development. I have a wide range of knowledge pertaining to game design, production, development, and monetization. Worked with Blender, Phaser, the HTML Canvas, and SVG to craft the best experience depending on the platform.

I take pride in considering the end user’s experience as much as possible. Questioning moderning design practices when they seem to work against the user. Several years experience with Photoshop and web design. I’ve fleshed out my skillset with masks, filters, scripting, and by adopting the use of Gimp.

Extensive experience with modern and past HTML ecosystems. Know my way around HTML and the importance of each tag type. I write scalable and cross-browser CSS and I know best practices for Search Engine Optimization. I prefer frontend work, so I know how to get the most out of static site generators and static hosts, like Jekyll and Github Pages

I prefer using an API before I start writing my own Back-end. Regularly use Soundcloud’s HTTP API, and the Google Analytics platform and their JS integration. Used both Parse and Realm as full backend replacements as well as for local storage management.

A set of visualizers that leveraged the power of the Web Audio API and CSS to bring music to life. My objective was showcase how performant CSS can be. To provide a diverse range of visual experiences, I created a variety of visualizers, each employing different visual effects.

CSS Visualizer

As an experiment, I've explored various aspects of terrain generation. I connected Perlin Noise to a 3D grid, creating a dynamic water + land terrain system. The original concept behind the project was to use the terrain system in a strategy game.

Three.js Terrain

UI components inspired by the interface of Overwatch 1, a widely popular first-person shooter game. My goal was to develop a series of reusable components that could be seamlessly integrated into any React project.
