Web Design & Development
In today’s world, every business, organization, and group needs a web presence. I love web design because it allows me to use critical thinking to solve problems from a functionality standpoint via back-end development, and also embrace the artistic aspect of front-end visual design. In may 2019, I received my B.A. in Web Design from the University of Central Florida. I am proficient at developing in HTML, CSS, PHP, Javascript, jQuery, and have experience integrating APIs into sites using AJAX methods. I am also competent at building websites in WordPress. I strive to use my artistic ability to create sites that express the unique requirements of each client.
Raindrop Pop E-Commerce site for fictional company
Homepage
Products page: can be filtered by category
Product Detail: generative page that shows price, category, rating, stock, etc.
Raindrop Pop is an e-commerce site created for a course at UCF in collaboration between 5 students. It features a fully functional cart system, user accounts, search function, product sorting, and administrative tools such as the ability to create and remove products. My role was primarily that of back end development. I handled all PHP coding and SQL database functionality.
Clusterizr – UCF career network prototype
Job listing page: Available positions are displayed on the left, selected job detail on the right. Fully functional search fields at the top. Jobs are displayed from newest to oldest by default.
User Profile page: Users can upload profile images, post links to external sites and social media, and see recommended contacts and jobs.
Clusterizr is the result of a semester long research, design and development project to produce a prototype career focused social network for the University of Central Florida. The project was a collaboration between several students, each working in specific roles. My tasks were focused primarily on back-end development. I wrote the PHP code for multiple features within the site, including: user account manipulation, image uploads, job posting, and search functions. I also wrote a significant amount of jQuery for user interface features.
ExpensEZ financial tracking site
Homepage: provides a dashboard with some relevant data and introductory information about the site.
History page: creates a graph of user entered expenses for each day, as well as calculating the overall change from previous the month.
Data entry page. Dynamically generates a form based on which icon the user clicks. Automatically adds all totals and submits the information to a database.
Goals page: provides a simple, easy to use on screen calculator function to divide budgets into categories, then updates the database to match.
ExpensEZ is a financial tracking website I created to facilitate budgeting and expense management. The site uses a SQL database accessed by PHP in conjunction with on-screen data visualization tools to provide users with an informative way to track their expenses. I built the site from the ground up using the bootstrap framework and PHP, SQL, jQuery, as well as AJAX methods.
