Projects

Winters Instruments Latin America website

Official website for Winters Instruments' Latin America division. Built completely solo while juggling my duties as a marketing manager with this company, this website was constructed with a REACT front-end, a WordPress back-end, and GraphQL. This unique stack was chosen to leverage budgeted resources, navigate staffing considerations and to facilitate fast development. Beyond the technical challenges of managing back/front-end integration, caching and engineering technical architecture, this project was a major test of personal resilience in the face of uncertainty, adaptability, and effective internal advocacy for project survival to completion. This site was well received by the Latin America sales team.

Royal Canadian Chair Force Ecommerce Store

A full stack ecommerce store built using the MERN stack and Stripe payment integration. This fully-functioning ecommerce site features an admin panel for adding/editing/removing products, and the ability to create individual user accounts to make purchases.

ETS Transit Alerts

This app displays the latest transit service disruptions and escalator/elevator outages in the City of Edmonton. The information is pulled from three REST APIs published by the City of Edmonton's Open Data Portal. This was built to further my JavaScript foundations.
