This application is my personal portfolio and demo application. Since many of my applications are under NDA or require application purchase to view, I created this website to demonstrate my abilities as a developer. The site is a PWA that takes a modern approach to development. It's solely built within the cloud and uses technologies like Angular, Firebase, GCP, Express, Contentful, and mailgun to create a rich website with sleek modern design. Please feel free to visit, poke around, and ask me all about it!

This application is the marketing and ecommerce store for Supersapiens. They create sports medicine patches to monitor the blood sugar of endurance athletes and give them real-time feedback about their performance. While the application of this technology is quite niche, Abbott pharmaceuticals has recently acquisitioned the company to produce these patches for a wider variety of medical purposes. Some of these applications include a cheap way for diabetic patients to monitor their blood sugar. The application is very modern with an Italian design firm creating many modern and cool designs. With the ample animations, it was a very challenging website to produce. From videos to animations that provide an immersive experience, there was a large amount of work in the stylization side of the side. I consider this application one of my most highly refined pieces of work and a crowning achievement in my career.
