Experience

  • Lead Front End Developer @liifer

    After having brought the Liifer web app to production, I continued to maintain it and also added some of the more interesting features to the Overwolf extension, including game-tracking and in-game notifications. During this period I also ported the app to iOS and Android.

  • Web Developer @liifer

    In this position I created the front end for the Liifer web app. This included choosing the tech stack, developing the app with input from creators and designers, bringing the app to production, and continuing to maintain it while we built usership.

  • Freelance Web Dev 

    6 months | remote

    After graduating from a bootcamp and the end of 2019, I completed a few freelance contracts using React and React Native. In this time I built landing pages and worked on a mobile app created by other contract workers.
