As a client agency, the work is varied and always changing. Here is a small list of some of the things accomplished: - Multiple Angular (2+) applications. In depth usage of the i18n functionality and how it ties into AOT. Also put a heavy emphasis on component abstractions that focused on reusability and performance improvements. - Multiple React projects: i18n translated Nuxt site. Large file uploader with integration to S3. - Ambitious full-stack Express.js application to facilitate the job application process for recent grads. It was a previously existing project from a client. Had fun diving into and learning Neo4j.

Mostly used Wordpress and Magento to help clients establish a presence online. I also spent a considerable amount of this time using side projects as a means of learning new technologies such as Ember.js and other frontend frameworks as well as strong backend frameworks such as Symfony for API development.

Nimbuscam
appropont.github.io/nimbuscam/
https://appropont.github.io/nimbuscam/ Nimbuscam is a more thought out version of s3cam that was coded using Ember.js. It uses getUserMedia and a webcam to act as a security camera that uploads motion-detected frames to a cloud provider of your choice. This iteration of the idea allows for easy creation of new cloud provider adapters as well as advanced features such as a read ahead buffer and a keep-alive timer to make sure that no action is missed.

http://thefoundryclothing.com The Foundry Clothing is a Seattle-based screen printing shop and clothing company.

This communication between Magento and Wordpress is done via custom JSON endpoints.

S3cam.js
appropont.github.io/s3camjs/
Repo: https://github.com/appropont/s3camjs I built this prototype based off of Addy Osmani's getUserMedia shim. As a prototype, it was thrown together as a proof-of-concept. I am currently working on an Ember-based version of this app that will be cloud-agnostic and coded cleanly with maintainability in mind.

Stevens Pass Snowboard Shop
stevenspasssnowboardshop.com
https://stevenspasssnowboardshop.com This project initially started as a blog so that the snowboard shop in Goldbar, WA could have an online presence beyond social media. This eventually evolved into an e-commerce site powered by Magento while still using Wordpress for blogging, out of concerns for security. This integration between Magento and Wordpress was done before the official WP-API project started being integrated into the Wordpress Core, so it uses a custom solution which was actually quite novel at the time.
