Projects

I have been lucky enough to contribute and work with major Fortune 500 companies in my time working with multiple development agencies and consulting firms. I have particular experience in both eCommerce and Medical projects.

My currently maintained projects:

  • GGLeagues.com Home: A NextJS collection of static, promotional, and marketing pages for GGLeagues, with a focus on speed and SEO
  • GGLeagues.com Webapp: An Angular 11 Application that handles our user-facing tournaments, registration, chat system, and payment processing

Outside of professional work, I also build some fun microsites:

I have also built and maintain several NPM packages:

  • extra-life-api: the official node package for integration with the Extra Life charity donation API
  • node-artifact-api: a typescript based implemation of Valve's Artifact API, allowing users to build, encode, and store decks
