Freelance web developer

A project that I worked on as a contractor for TORQUE Strategies and TTG Canada. espnW Summit Canada is an event hosted by ESPN and Canadian Tire, where female leaders in the sports industry lead discussions about sports, business, and leadership. I inherited this project after the event's first year. It was built using React and Contentful, and my job was to give the page a face lift with new designs, put all the power of content management in the hands of the marketing team, and enable scaleability for future years on both the website and the Contentful space.

The team at Highlands Music Festival recognized a blocker in the music festival ticket purchase process, where potential festival attendees were hesitant to buy a ticket without know if they would be in the same cabin as their friends/partners. Within hours of launching the platform, ticket sales increased and 90% of attendees had made cabin reservations, deeming the project a huge success. The solution was to build a platform that allows attendees to log in, and reserve a specific bed in a specific cabin for everyone in their group. The biggest technology highlight in the project is Airtable, which we use as both a CMS and as a database.

A freelance project for a late night cookie bakery in Toronto. When I took over this project it was built on Wordpress, however the client wanted a new look and different CMS, so I rebuilt the pages using React + Next.JS, and integrated Contentful as a headless CMS. Since the original rebuild, my client hired a new designer and we have given the website a facelift to match the rebrand.

A project I built for one of the biggest competitions in snowboarding, called the Natural Selection Tour. This is a bracket challenge, which is a fantasy-sports-like app where users can sign up for free, create a league for their friends, and pick all of the winners in a bracket style competition. The website gained 400 hundred users in its first year, and was promoted by Slush: The Magazine.

I worked at Loblaw Digital full time for 3.5 years, where I grew from a Dev I (junior developer) to a Senior Developer. I was fortunate to work with a talented team that taught me the importance of clean and scaleable code, performance, testing, and accessibility, and eventually I took the reigns of being a tecnical team lead. My feature highlights in that time include rebuilding the checkout, product listing, and landing pages, integrating Contentful into our CMS pages, and building an order tracker.

An ongoing freelance project for a hostel in Nicaragua. On this project I collaborated with the hostel founder and a freelance designer, with the goal of building an attractive website that provides information about the hostel, and allows guests to book online.

A project for a specialty bakery that delivers fresh Challah bread to customers on Friday afternoons. This website allowed customers to create an account, schedule weekly deliveries, and make payments online. *This website is no longer running since the bakery has shut down.
