              p There’s nothing like sitting down and watching someone use something that you've created - This opportunity to refine the project is golden. That, along with all the great things coming from front-end technologies, make this an amazing time to be a front-end developer.

            h3 Idealist.org
            p The mission of the organization is what initially caught my eye (and heart). I was on the Communciations and Engagement team. We responded to the digital needs of the organization in terms of its mission. I worked with a legacy codebase written in Python and using Genshi templates styled with Sass. After a quick assessement on the front-end, I knew my first task was to remove the dependency on Compass so that I was able to upgrade Sass above 3.2. A refactor and some changes to the build system to use node-sass rather than Ruby for Sass had not only opened the door to the latest and greatest features but also cut the build time by 50%. At that point, I had inherited the CSS infrastructure and became the primary developer for the site styles. React and Javascript were on the list of heavily used technologies for me. With React, I was able to build the Our Team, /Idealists, and the About Us pages. Before Idealist closed its doors on the developer office, I was undergoing a site-wide refactor to unify design styles.
            p The technologies being used are: Javascript, React, SCSS, Python, Genshi templates, Optimizely, Google Analtyics.

            h3 JobHunt: A Personal Project
            p I always found it challenging while looking for different work to keep track of the various positions that I've applied for and in what state those positions are in (i.e. Did I actually apply? Have I heard back? Did I get an interview?). So, in order to put some order into the job hunt, I created a quick little web app that does that for me. #[a(href="https://github.com/yaksandpie/jobhunt" target="_blank") JobHunt] is that web app. Built in Ruby on Rails and from scratch. This project put me in the seat as a full-stack dev as I delved into every nook and cranny of Rails.

            h3 FINE Design Group
            p Working at a digital agency has given me more experience than I had originally anticipated. I was able to be lead front-end developer on many projects including, but not limited to, #[a(href="http://www.kimptonhotels.com" target="_blank") Kimpton Hotels], #[a(href="http://www.dcm.com" target="_blank") DCM Ventures] (this project was a back-end as well as front-end challenge for me), and #[a(href="https://www.ste-michelle.com/" target="_blank") Chateau Ste. Michelle]. I worked on a handful of internal projects, such as a repository for designs and slideshows. Working with highly talented designers was immensely useful for me as I learned pixel-perfect development as well as refining my negotiation skills when a design got a bit out of scope.
