Delpark Homes
for 52 Pick-up
Foundation and WordPress are great and this site demonstates their seamless integration. Why Foundation over Bootstrap? Well, Foundation is tightly integrated within the workflow at 52 Pick-up. I take great pride in my ability to adapt to the requirements of a project and any previously established workflows used by my team.
-
EnerQuality
for 52 Pick-up
I have a passion for front-end development, however I find myself drawn to the growing capabilities of back-end platforms. Wordpress is no exception and working on EnerQuality was an opportunity to dig deeper into custom post-types, advanced custom fields, and modular templating. On the front-end Sass and the Foundation framework once again established themselves as reliable and responsive friends.
-
Twinrix
for Globacore Interactive Technologies
Often I am called upon to work on a project that has already been started. With Twinrix I came aboard to push the project past the finish line, which entailed numerous updates, revisions, and refactorings of code. I needed to work very quickly, communicate succinctly, and make both design and development decisions with little instruction.

Dr. Kevin Carlson
for Redphone Inc.
Redphone needed a quick turnaround for an easy to update site that would look great on all screen sizes. Bootstrap and Wordpress play very well together and this made the development of a custom theme both fluid and efficient.

TweetMag Blog
for Teehan + Lax
TweetMag is a great iPad app for viewing your Tweeter feeds. I was lucky enough to be given the opportunity to develop the official TweetMag blog using WordPress. Although I work primarily on the front-end, this was a great chance to once again stretch some of my PHP muscles.

Mount Sinai Hospital 2009/2010 Annual Report
for Marshall Fenn Communications
Being the primary developer I was given the designs and a tight deadline. It was my job to build the required site templates (HTML and CSS) as well as implement the required widget functionality using jQuery.
*Site re-purposed by client for 2010/2011 Annual Report.

Renewit
for Marshall Fenn Communications
Using my attention for detail, I crafted the initial designs into pixel perfect front-end code. As the designs evolved, so did the need for something dynamic and eye-catching to be displayed on the homepage. jQuery was the solution and implementing the code required was an interesting challenge. I made it work.
-
Universal Pictures Canada
for Marshall Fenn Communications
Working with a team of senior developers I aided in the front-end template development, where I honed my skills in writing cross browser compatible HTML and CSS. I also maintained the site by providing updates on a weekly basis.
