Hi, I'm James

Full-stack web developer building your next big idea

Dose Media

Company website and internal tools

When Dose was shifting from social listening and publishing to social market research and client services, I helped to completely overhaul the company's website and internal full-stack software platform.

By extensively using Facebook's Marketing API and developing custom tools to streamline the submission and analysis of hundreds of ad variants, I saved hours of manual work for campaign analysts.

I also built a user-friendly QA interface to drastically reduce costly configuration errors during campaign submission.

James has... shown a talent for anticipating users' unspecified needs and implements solutions that are flexible enough to meet those needs as they arise.

[He] writes very clean code and has excellent attention to detail. He also demonstrates initiative to update code or development practices in positive ways.

Illinois Department of Transportation

Traffic-counting web dashboard

I architected and developed a system for internal use by the Illinois Department of Transportation, which aimed to ease the use of command line tools for counting vehicle traffic. My design enhanced usability and accessibility of the previous system.
