PROJECT EXPLANATION

NerdAdvisor

I am the co-founder and project manager of a 6-person full-stack developer team for the career development platform ‘NerdAdvisor’. Currently in closed beta testing we are aiming for launch early next year!


Games Ground

Beat Em Hub and 4 other partners received funding and support from the EU and Berlin senate to create the next Berlin gaming festival, taking place in November at Alte Münze. I have co-designed and developed the website using Webflow.


Beat Em Hub

Beat Em Hub is a Berlin-based gaming network that creates immersive experiences. The website uses unique styling and design. This build uses a mixture of inline-block, flex, and grid layouts, combined with some JS to create the Navbar movement, scroll on click, and scroll into view elements.

PROJECT EXPLANATION

Beat Em Hub

One of my first projects. For now it is purely a front-end website using unique styling and design. This build uses a mixture of inline-block, flex, and grid layouts, combined with some JS to create the Navbar movement, scroll in click, and scroll into view elements.


NerdAdvisor

A career development platform currently in development. A Beat Em Hub project, working with a team of 5 coders (2 front-end, 3 back-end) using the Ruby on Rails MVC architecture.

Using embedded Ruby code into our HTML we are able to generate dynamic content on our pages. We are currently implementing the basic structure and security. Using mainly a grid system for the front-end.


MOSS Radio

My first Ruby On Rails application, working with an awesome team of 3 others for our Le Wagon bootcamp final project.

The prototype/idea of MOSS is a community radio service using AJAX and minimal front-end styling for clean navigation and minimal page reloads. AJAX (Asynchronous JavaScript and XML) allows the central window to load content dynamically without requiring a full page reload to give a smooth user experience.


General Desgin

As an example of other design work with this pitch deck, I specialise in creating clean and minimal designs that effectively showcase a brand's identity. My approach involves taking the existing brand elements and exploring creative ways to present them in a unique and visually appealing way.

Through careful consideration of typography, colour, layout, and other design elements, I strive to create designs that are not only visually engaging but also functional and user-friendly. By maintaining a focus on simplicity and clarity, I ensure that the brand message is conveyed effectively and consistently across all design materials.
