Based in Berlin, I am an American full-stack web developer and the former Head of Technology at MYMY catering. I am proficient in PHP, JavaScript, SCSS, design (having started out as a web designer at the beginning of my career). I've been building powerful websites for nearly 20 years while growing up with the web.
As Head of Technology, I was responsible for all things Tech at MYMY catering from December 2019 to December 2023. Even through the Covid pandemic, I built and maintained a fully functioning, international, multilingual e-commerce website where customers would place orders for catering they wanted delivered to the address of their event.
Every bell and whistle imaginable was included: from finding caterers within a given radius of the customer's delivery address to daily, internal data reporting for sales and marketing to a private, dynamic style guide to keep the brand's design focused. While my Tech team grew and shrunk over my 4-year tenure (due to Covid greatly affecting the catering industry), I can confidently say at least 95% of the website was coded by myself (while leveraging excellent tools like Craft CMS, VueJs, Docker, and a proper modern Tech stack).
Emotionalists is a project focusing on curated music playlists consisting of 10-15 songs and revolving around specific moods instead of genres or eras. It's aimed at people looking for a fitting soundtrack to their work commute, late night bar shift, or home dinner party, etc, or just the avid music lover looking to dig up music a little further beneath the surface.
In order to let the user jump in and out of different playlists easily and immediately feel each playlist's unique character, Vue.js was chosen to give it more of an app feel. Craft CMS still holds the content, however, and all the design and CSS was also done by me.
Put on every spring in Battersea Park by The Antiquarian Booksellers' Association of London, Firsts is the world's most prestigious fair for selling rare books and manuscripts, many easily selling in the hundreds of thousands of GBP.
With over 200 exhibitors every year, this website needs to register them, provide them the necessary forms to apply, integrate with Stripe to let them pay for their stand and accessories at the fair, and let them upload information on selected items they wish to highlight at the fair, all while providing information to public visitors and data analytics to the ABA team who manage the fair. My role in this project has been everything website related: design, front-end development, Craft CMS, and custom PHP to integrate with various APIs and extend Craft to the site's many specific needs.
Put on every autumn in Chelsea, London by The Antiquarian Booksellers' Association, The Chelsea Rare Book Fair is the smaller, more casual fair of the two (see Firsts above). Despite being a more local event than Firsts, it still attracts many international booksellers every year.
With over 100 exhibitors every year, this website needs to register them, provide them the necessary forms to apply, integrate with Stripe to let them pay for their stand and accessories at the fair, and let them upload information on selected items they wish to highlight at the fair, all while providing information to public visitors and data analytics to the ABA team who manage the fair. Despite sharing a similar front-end to Firsts, there are many differences needed in the back-end to make this site more than just a clone of Firsts.
