Development & Design

Building for All Users of the Web

As a developer & designer, I'm passionate about crafting user-centered web applications that focus on performance, accessibility, and inclusive design. I strive to create experiences that delight users from diverse backgrounds and devices. From concept to delivery, I use my skills in full-stack development and design to collaborate on building solutions that meet the needs of all users.

I care about digital experiences for all types of audiences, not just those on the newest and fastest machines. I like to keep organised design files. I think about the future reader of my code. With visions of the future and memories of the past I bring bright and bold ideas to my team mates to build.

Sand - programmatic glitches

python, pillow

Inspired by image manipulation filters, I built tools and processes with python to automate the distortion of images, and the animation of the pixel displacement. Exploring the intersection of tech and creativity, automation enabled a developing style to flourish and expand into a body of cohesive work.

I worked as part of a team to design and develop an enterprise management tool for tracking timesheets within the Slack platform, replacing a cumbersome Salesforce application with a more user-friendly and intuitive interface.

Survey Application for Quip Documents

react, ruby, rails, postgres

I created a Survey Quip Live App that embeds surveys inside documents, allowing multiple users to concurrently contribute to and review structured, qualitative data. Building from a library of react components from Quip, this app enables real-time contributions and reviews from multiple users, fostering collaboration and data-driven decision-making.
