During my time at Music Gateway, a B2B SAAS platform for music industry professionals, I worked on maintaining the existing legacy platform (Bulma, Knockout.js with a PHP backend) as well as the marketing website (Bulma, Vue.js & a WordPress API).
I was also at the forefront of building the Vue.js frontend of the new platform, driven by a Laravel API.

As a UX tester I also did a lot of SEO work including reports and analytics of site performance while giving detailed insights on areas of improvement.
Killer Voices Overwolf App
Overwolf
August 2017 - April 2018
After my app won in Overwolf's Developer Challenge, I was commissioned to build an MVP app that made use of Overwolf's in-game events. The application played sound effects based on actions in games and allowed users to select different voice packs from Arnold to The Simpsons. The project was received very well by the community and Overwolf has continued to support it internally. Check out the promo video here
