Front Royal–Warren County Chamber of Commerce volunteer
- Cleaned up the member directory, digitized the vendor and membership application forms, and added online payment. Members now apply and pay online instead of on paper.
Real work, real organizations
work
Short version each time: the problem, what I did, the result. Only organizations I actually worked with.
National Media Services — print cost calculator paid
- Problem
- The old quoting calculator had prices written into its code, so every supplier or cost change meant a code change, and it couldn't grow.
- What I did
- Rebuilt it as a web app with a TypeScript front end, a PHP API and staff accounts, added features, and laid the groundwork for the owner's own customers to make their selections themselves.
- Result
- Prices now live in a database the owner updates as the economy and suppliers change, with no code changes, and estimates line up with actual costs.
Habitat for Humanity volunteer
- Connected their website to Google Calendar so events stay current without double entry.
Stone Branch Center for the Arts volunteer
- Added online payments, so people can pay instead of needing cash or a check in person.
Front Royal Independent Business Alliance volunteer
- Brought the festival's very old WordPress site up to date: its old templates made every change hard, so I converted them to Gutenberg blocks, which made the site much easier to manage. I also put festival photos up front to draw visitors in, gave it a new look, and added a map of every attraction.
Front Royal Rotary Club volunteer
- Kept the club's website up to date, posting events like its golf tournament, and turned the list of past presidents into an easy-to-read history using the platform's built-in list feature, so each new year's president is a quick addition.
Past remote client — large commercial software product paid
- Several years as a front-end developer on a large commercial software product for a remote consulting client: React, Redux, TypeScript, automated tests run from Jenkins.
