My pitch
I bring together projects with lots of moving parts, such as:
- Dashboards
- Workflow analysis and automation
- Data reporting and visualization
- Role-based authentication
- Calendar and schedule automation
- API and microservice programming
I am also a content creator, and frequently stitch together assets I've created into larger projects:
- Illustration and animation for narratives and instruction
- Programmatic art for interactives (such as a medical simulation)
- Instructional writing and design
- Character dialog and story writing
- Audio and video
A few common questions
For the benefit of recruiters and employers, whose automated search tools may provide false hits:
- I see you have some experience with medical learning applications as well as Johns Hopkins University. What is your medical background?
- I'm a medical layman. I am not associated with Johns Hopkins University's medical school. However, I have worked with content experts (epidemiologists, data scientists, educators, and so on) to build interactive products for learning about infectious diseases, opioid addiction, and other medical conditions.
- Our products are not very interactive and do not feature artwork or animation, so I'm not sure it's up your alley.
- That's fine! I avoid superficial design elements and unnecessary interactivity in my applications. I am focused on utility.
- What are you working on these days? Will it interfere with your availability?
- I have two work-in-progress applications that are explored at length in the Projects section of my site. They are not generating income (yet), so they can be paused or moved to weekend status as work requires.
