NITAAC

nitaac.nih.gov front page nitaac.nih.gov task order page

Most recently, I was the lead front end developer for a refresh of the NIH Information Technology Acquisition and Assessment Center's public-facing website. My primary contributions include updating and creating markup, styles, animations, and interactions for all components across most-visited pages. I am also co-leading a Drupal migration, which involves refactoring site-wide legacy code to meet modern web standards and streamlining CMS practices.

Farmers.gov

farmers.gov front page farmers.gov disaster assistance discovery tool

Working on this high-profile government project was a great learning experience — and a fulfilling one as well, given its positive impact on people across the country. My core contributions included creating logic and functionality for the Disaster Assistance Discovery Tool (which generated a significant increase in aid applications), creating and styling mobile-responsive pages, and updating the build process to include minification of CSS and transpilation of JS files.
