Hi there!

Senior UX Engineer

El Toro

Louisville, KY

At El Toro, I lead the development of a Design System using React Storybook. I conduct user testing and ensure that designs are consistent, intuitive, and optimized for both internal use and public-facing web applications.

UX/UI Design, Development, and Project Management

Self-employed - Contract work for various companies

Louisville, KY (full-remote)

I managed several clients creating web and mobile apps, websites and interactive content along with a talented local developer. During this time I worked directly with clients such as Blackstone Media, Amundsen Tech, ScholarRX, Horse Racing Nation, and more to create one-of-a-kind digital experiences. I also served as a project manager for a short term contract web development project.

UX/UI Designer

Atria

Louisville, KY (full-remote)

I worked closely with several teams to create a unified and consistent design system for a suite of software-as-a-service web and mobile applications.

UX Engineer

Platform Q

Boston, MA (full-remote)

At Platform Q I worked to translate wireframes, mockups, and prototypes into intuitive user experiences. I worked fully remote with a team of talented developers to implement designs and features for a highly profitable online video learning platform. I worked with two teams and maintained daily communication. Technologies included Wordpress, Angular 4, JavaScript, and CSS / SASS.

Web Developer

cafepress

Louisville, KY (hybrid-remote)

I started at cafepress on a small labs team focused on creating new and exciting products and the web experiences to get those products in front of customers. After that I moved to the front end team on the main cafepress website, where I managed pages seen by tens of thousands of users a day. I primarily worked in JavaScript, HTML, and CSS.

Co-Founder/Director

Louisville Makes Games, Inc.

In 2015 I co-founded a 501-(c)(3) non-profit organization called Louisville Makes Games, Inc. The goal of LMG is to provide educational courses and promote game development careers in the city of Louisville, KY. In February 2016, we had the grand opening for Warp Zone Louisville, the first and only game development-centric co-working space in Louisville (and Kentucky!). We run meetups, classes, and events out of Warp Zone Louisville as well as provides the amenities of a co-working space on Main Street in downtown Louisville.

Co - Founder / Organizer / Host

Lousville Game Creator's Meetup

The independent game developer community in Louisville is a huge passion of mine. The Louisville Game Creator's Meetup (formerly Game Dev Lou) is a twice-monthly meetup and support group for local game developers. I have facilitated nearly every meeting, and to date I have helped to organize 3-4 game jam events per year.

Founder / Organizer / Host

JSLou - Louisville's JavaScript Community

In order to grow and challenge myself as a developer, I founded and hosted JSLou; a local group focused on all things JavaScript. I have learned a great deal from the many experienced developers I have met through JSLou. I enjoyed facilitating an environment where others can learn and expand their skills. After maintaining the group for nearly 5 years I passed the torch to new passionate developers to continue facilitating the community.
