Working on the HeySummit platform, provided CSS support and advice to the lead developer on the project, which allowed us to meet the design requirements of the event on an inflexible platform.

Junior Developer Group is a community for junior developers to build open-source projects together in an Agile way.

I served as project lead on this project, which involved:

• Considering how each member could best contribute and assigning tasks to members based on the skills they wanted to develop, their current skill level, and the needs of the project
• Setting an approach for the project that reduced the work needed to make the website mobile-responsive and ensuring team members understood the requirements
• Reviewing code and providing clear, actionable feedback

My individual code contributions include:

• Reviewing the website's score in Google Lighthouse and implementing the changes needed to meet a minimum of 90 points in all categories
• Implementation of calculator section
• Research of additional resources and the implementation of that section
• Creating CSS-drawn clouds and enabling their reusability by writing clear documentation
