Managed the company’s main website – I would update item listings, page layout, and migrate the page to be more responsive for mobile devices
Increased site traffic and digital sales by 25% through popular SEO strategies such as link building, social networking, keyword suggestions, etc.
Utilizing an Angular and TypeORM stack, I implemented a series of user-centric improvements for our Product Information Management (PIM) software, resulting in an enhanced UX
Made major improvements to the PIM’s responsiveness – the home page originally took 10 seconds to load, but I was able to bring it down to 2 seconds by implementing multiple front-end optimization techniques, like caching, lazy-loading, DxDatagrid, migrating to the newest version of Angular, and many more
Successfully launched our PIM software in Q1 2022 and seamlessly integrated it with our parent company’s systems following the acquisition by Material Bank in Q3 2022 – I led a team of contractors and junior developers to complete the UI portion of this integration
Performed code reviews and developed unit test cases resulting in a significant reduction in production breakages
Created new API endpoints and SQL queries to gather the data that I needed from the front-end
Managed all public facing websites and ERP, utilizing Vue and Rest APIs, with the purpose of increasing sales, pulling leads, and bettering SEO
Migrated the main website from basic HTML, CSS, and Javascript to Vue and Vuetify. This improved the main page’s ranking on Google, organically improved site traffic by 150%, and made the website load faster
Increased digital sales by 300% by improving the E-commerce website’s UX and UI design – I analyzed pain points with the initial design, created a customer journey, and redesigned the website based on my research
Created a node.js program that would automate security badge creation
Managed a portfolio of mobile applications, utilizing Android SDK, C#, and standard MEAN
Drove significant productivity gains for technicians by enhancing the UX and introducing new business functions
One of the mobile apps I worked on was used to upgrade Verizon’s 5G hardware; thus launching helping launch Verizon’s 5G
Migrated multiple mobile applications over to AWS and developed the logging solution used across the organization in node.js and Python
