Profile

I am currently working as a front end web developer at Vans.com headquarters in Costa Mesa, California.

I have over 11 years of professional experience working as a front end web developer in a team environment for various development teams, working closely with designers and marketing teams producing high fidelity and responsive designs, and back end programmers producing dynamic front end templates that work with various back end applications.

I have worked extensively with many popular content management systems over the past 11 years; CMS such as WordPress, Shopify, Joomla, Magento, Expressionengine – I am intimately familiar with. I have also worked extensively on custom built CMS using frameworks such as Sonota Symfony. I learn quickly following documentations, so I can effectively implement front-end components.

I work with git for version control, Jira and Asana for task management, and Agile methodologies for project management. I have over a decade working professionally with content management systems such as WordPress, Magento, and Shopify.

I am located in Claremont, California, but I have worked remotely for agencies and firms out of state for years. I am accustomed to using Scrum / TeamViewer / Slack to keep in touch with remote teammates, and I am a effective communicator / problem solver who believe strongly in actions that produce measurable results. I am always striving to learn more and expand my skill set as a web developer.

I have many professional references that are available upon request.

I have built many projects with various agencies throughout the years, and some of the projects are protected by non-disclosure agreements

Breast Cancer Awareness project – this page had an aggressive deadline and I was able to meet it. The entire page was built by me from the ground up, including the “Boob Check 101” section card flip animations. The “Boob Check 101” section is used across Vans retail stores country wide on iPads. The entire page was coded by me, working closely with an UI/UX designer who provided the design assets to me in Sketch and Adobe Photoshop

Vans.com Homepage Takeover visit site

This is the Vans.com home page I build for the Vivienne Westwood product line. The slideshow was built from scratch using JavaScript and is responsive across all devices. The Vans.com home page gets replaced with new product launches frequently so I used Waybackmachine.com to showcase the archived version of the home page.
