Hi! I’m Zach.

I enjoy building beautiful, highly technical user interfaces.

What the user can touch and feel is my domain; I’m a Swiss Army Knife for anything living within a web context. I’m experienced with data-driven web applications, marketing interfaces with ambitious animation patterns, highly performant data visualizations, WebGL and more; if there’s a way to get pixels on the screen, I’ve obsessively pursued how to do so in the most elegant, performant way possible.

HTML5 • CSS3 (Sass) • JavaScript (ES5-2021)

Vue (highly preferred) / React / Svelte / Angular / etc.

<canvas> api (2D & some WebGL) • GLSL • Three.js

build Tools: Gulp • Grunt • Webpack • Vite

node • express • mongodb • git • ionic • cordova • electron performance optimization • responsive development & design • cross-browser compatibility • progressive enhancement • ui/ux design • interaction design Portfolio

Freelance

December 2009 - Present

This is a catch-all for all freelance

work since 2009, from brochure websites

t o d a t a - d r i v e n w e b a n d m o b i l e

applications.

Asteroid (Contract)

September 2020 – January 2021

My time was split between two senior

consultant roles building robust single

page applications using React and Vue.

These roles are fully-remote, so

effective communication and consistent

presence have been key in our success as

a team.

UI Engineer @

pHin (ConnectedYard,

Inc)

September 2018 - August 2020

I joined this incredibly capable team in

2018 as a specialist for anything living

in a web context: both internal and

user-facing features, on the web and a

handful of views within our mobile app.

I worked on internal tooling, data

visualizations, marketing interfaces

with complex analytics tracking, and

much more. Vue was our shop framework of

choice; I've written several non-trivial

Vue applications from scratch in

addition to developing and maintaining

existing legacy applications written in

AngularJS. Our goalposts at pHin were

rapidly moving as the product evolved,

so it was mission critical to write

clean, maintainable code.

UI Engineer (Contract) @

LG&E and KY Energy LLC

Oct 2016 - February 2017

I joined a small scrum team to help

tackle a complete revamp of how LG&E

techs track their work requests and

handle data in the field. Leveraging

Angular2 & Ionic we set out to build an

iOS application to streamline their

workflow, offering an intuitive

experience for people of all levels of

technical expertise. We used @ngrx/store

to implement Flux’s unidirectional data

flow model. We used complex Git

workflows to handle our rapid feature

development and regularly met with

stakeholders to help bridge the gap

between requested features and technical

hurdles.

Front End Developer @

OOhology

May 2016 - August 2016

Joining the OOhology team for a second

time, I once again crafted cross-browser

robust responsive user interfaces

a l o n g s i d e t h e o n e o f t h e b e s t

development teams in Louisville. We

utilized Node.js + Gulp.js as the basis

of our workflow, from Sass compilation

to the transpiling and concatonation of

ES6 modules. For templating I leveraged

both Jade and Blade to better integrate

with our Laravel-based in-house CMS. It

was here that I started familiarizing

myself with React, taking a strong

liking to JSX and the unidirectional

data flow of Flux.

Associate UI Engineer @

LinkedIn

August 2014 - September 2015

Chasing my dreams of working in Silicon

Valley I joined some of the Bay’s

brightest at LinkedIn in creating

economic opportunity for the global

workforce. I worked on the Brand &

Marketing team (BAM!); in addition to

component development for Adobe

Experience Manager, an enterprise Java-

based CMS, I played a major role in the

total refresh of business.linkedin.com.

I built on my knowledge of Git in

addition to some other technologies such

as the Grunt task runner and Handlebars

templating. We used Review Board for

peer reviews and JIRA for ticket

t r a c k i n g a n d t i m e l o g g i n g . I

continuously built on my knowledge of

Javascript design patterns and project

organization.

Front End Developer @

OOhology

November 2013 - August 2014

The majority of my workload involved the

development of robust fully-responsive

user interfaces with extensive browser

support; from Internet Explorer 8 to

Android 2.3, from Safari on iOS 6 to

Internet Explorer Mobile 10. Our solid

leadership and rigorous peer review

demanded quality and resulted in the

rapid growth of my skills. Sass was our

CSS preprocessor of choice; I created

mixing abstractions (layout, typography,

responsive scaling and more) whenever I

found myself presented with a problem

for which I’d already developed a

solution, inevitably leading to a

sizable collection of reusable modules

for rapid prototyping. It was here that

I became proficient with Git.

Front End Developer &

Designer @ Mediaura

March 2012 - September 2013

I cut up designs into semantic HTML, CSS

and JavaScript in addition to general

maintenance on existing projects. I also

handled overflow design work if our

creative director had too much on his

plate. Being the only FED at Mediaura it

fell on my shoulders to make sure our

development was at a competitive level.

It was here that I started diving into

the world of CSS preprocessors in

addition to best JavaScript practices,

in terms of both performance and

structure. I also established responsive

development as an agency standard.

Joomla was the company CMS of choice,

though occasionally I developed with

WordPress as well. All of our projects

supported IE7.

UI/UX Designer + Front

End Developer @ Contract

July 2011 - March 2012

Working remotely for the AngelPad

startup LocBox, I designed, developed

and maintained the front end of a Ruby

on Rails application (web & mobile)

aimed at creating and retaining revenue

for small businesses. I also handled the

corporate website, stationary design, or

any sort of promotional material - print

or digital.

Front End Developer &

D e s i g n e r @ D B S >

Interactive

July 2010 - July 2011

I cut up user interface designs into

semantic XHTML, CSS, and basic jQuery. I

also handled CMS integration; with

WordPress being the shop CMS of choice,

this is where I first got my feet wet

with PHP. Websites were the majority of

my workload, though I occasionally built

the front end for mobile apps and web

applications as well. Bazaar was our

solution of choice for versioning. Most

projects required IE7 support. In

February 2011 I took on design

responsibilities in addition to

development.
