Front End Web Developer

As a key contributor to the development and implementation of innovative e-commerce solutions, I leveraged my expertise in API integrations, custom functionality, SEO, and site performance optimization to introduce new features to existing merchant sites. I also used in-house diagnostic tools to ensure site maintenance and tracking script implementation through GTM. In addition to my technical responsibilities, I actively supported day-to-day operations by scoping new projects via Jira, coordinating with project managers and QA teams, participating in daily standup meetings, and serving as a primary point of contact for clients. Thriving in a fast-paced environment, I consistently delivered projects on time, surpassing client expectations and fostering strong relationships throughout the process.

Product Designer

As a Product Designer at a startup company with shifting priorities, I played a crucial role in the product team by converting designs into fully functional web components using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. I gained experience working with SVN for version control and revision management, as well as with the MVC framework. I'm confident in my ability to provide creative and practical solutions to complex design challenges, even in a fast-paced and constantly evolving environment. I'm excited to continue growing in this dynamic field, utilizing my skills and knowledge to contribute to the success of the company.

Graphic/Web Designer

As a recent graduate and Graphic/Web Designer at an agency, I had the privilege of working with a talented marketing team that helped me hone my skills in HTML and CSS. During my time there, I transformed Photoshop designs into eye-catching splash pages and e-blasts, and even took on the challenge of building custom WordPress themes, plugins, and features. I'm grateful for the opportunity to have worked on these projects, as they enabled me to continue learning and improving my skills while delivering the best results to our clients. Approaching each project with enthusiasm and a commitment to excellence, I enjoyed the dynamic and fast-paced nature of agency work. I look forward to applying the skills and experience gained in my next role, further expanding my expertise and continuing to create outstanding designs for clients.
