Background Checks
-
See projectI was the lead front-end developer for the responsive redesign of Background Checks. I built out the templates using a "rapid prototyping" Ruby based approach (MiddlemanApp.com), and they were implemented in a .NET based CMS by a coworker.

Journey360 (formerly UX360)
-
See projectFor my first 1.5 years at TandemSeven, I was on the internal product team for UX360. I built a variety of templates and functionality, such as: card sorting, dynamic data tables, image manipulation and resizing. This facilitated the functionality needed to build dynamic personas and customer journey maps. The app itself used Backbone JS at the time, with Liferay for user auth.

Marcus by Goldman Sachs
-
See projectFor 2+ years, I worked on the employee facing "Agent UI" app(s) for Marcus. It went from project inception, to launch, and continued enhancements. Other projects also emulated our approach internally, and repurposed our UI code for further use. We began with React and Redux. Later on, we swapped out Redux for Apollo GraphQL on the front-end. This made for more elegant handling of data fetching and caching.

Neiman Marcus
-
See projectI was the lead front-end developer for the NM responsive redesign. We used a grid system that I created (Unsemantic.com), which supported older browsers (IE7+) as well as modern browsers. I built out the templates using a "rapid prototyping" Ruby based approach (MiddlemanApp.com), and they were implemented in a custom Java (JSP) environment for production.

Risk Management Solutions
-
See projectI worked on a mobile web app for RMS, that enabled insurance agents in the field to assess damages caused by natural disasters or other catastrophes. The project itself used React, and allowed users to report back to their HQ about the situations they were seeing "on the ground." It connected to an API powered by Liferay, for its remote data fetching.
-
Wi-Fi Alliance
-
See projectI built out the front-end templates, and was responsible for some of the Drupal CMS implementation, for the Wi-Fi Alliance. This facilitated a responsive approach, allowing users to access the site from multiple devices.
