Frontend developer who built Oracle cloud UI features and an Ethereum NFT minting website.

Ireland

Message

At ORACLE, I developed React and Oracle JET UI components for its private cloud product, and features for Cloud@Customer. I implemented features for onboarding, security, networking, and compute.

I also worked with QA and service teams to maintain and fix features, reviewed code, and collaborated with external stakeholders to build requirements.

As a freelance developer, I created and deployed a Solidity smart contract on Ethereum for NFT minting, generated character artwork, and configured hosting for the artwork and metadata. I also developed a website that let users purchase NFTs via MetaMask.

At CKSK, I developed features, fixed bugs, and updated content across client projects, including standard and rich media advertising campaigns. At Arekibo Communications, I supported clients with bespoke products and managed support and maintenance tasks across development teams.
