  Software Engineer

  Built Wordpress based sites. Custom theme and plugin development using an in house framework. Worked with clients such as Qualcomm Ventures, Hyundai Translead, HowDo (A project for West Stringfellow), Asset Panda, RiskIQ, Horizon Robotics, Intelepeer, etc. Couple of my last projects here were Qualcomm Ventures and HowDo. In Qualcomm Ventures I redid the Portfolio page after taking from another dev due to the fact the speed of the page was pretty low, Used AJAX to pull individual information from the companies which resulted in improved speed. In HowDo I worked on implementing the dark mode with custom color schemes. Also the course part of it. Which tracks the progress if you have an account. Implemented how individual sections are connected to each other. Show less
