Other Recent Projects

A website addressing the impact rising course material costs have on academic performance at Texas Tech University. I cleaned, transformed, and analyzed data from an ongoing student survey using vanilla JavaScript and built data visualization charts with react-vis.

  • GraphQL
  • Contentful

The web design system for my personal digital properties. The build process generates “web-tech” tokens from YAML token definitions in rtg-design. The design tokens are then used to develop the exported styles, functions, and mixins that promote the composition of visually coherent digital experiences.

  • JS
  • SCSS
  • Bash
  • Jest

An animated typing utility written in vanilla JavaScript that uses method chaining to create complex animations.

In four months, I built Staycite’s visual design system, marketing website, and scaffolded the platform and authentication applications from the ground up. This included SDKs, middleware, data stores, testing, and documentation.
