I've been working on a Ruby on Rails marketplace to connect nonprofits with donors. I’ve helped add new features, upgrade the UI and improve accessibility. I’ve also contributed to the maintainability of the project by removing dead/duplicated code and written design documents to help plan larger tasks.
I worked a sprint with the Tech-for-Good startup, workerbird, building a webpage introducing the company and product features. The project team consisted of two developers, the Co-Founder of workerbird, and a designer. As part of the team, I was able to provide feedback to the overall design as well as specific ways to implement certain design features (ie. mobile-view hamburger menu, carousel).
