Everlly, a CRM for Wedding Ring Shops
A labor of love (literally). Everlly is a product that I have spent the last few years working on as a solo endeavour. From scheduling to messaging to cleaning reminders, Everlly can do it all. The idea behind Everlly is that before, during and after a wedding ring sale, the client and business should stay connected. Many shops offer a lifetime warranty on their rings on condition that the client returns yearly to have their ring inspected and cleaned. Everlly is the tool that allows clients to keep track of when they should get their ring cleaned and it allows businesses to have further contact with their client after their initial sale.
Everlly has come very far, but still has some ways to go before an MVP is ready for businesses to start beta testing. It will take a few more late nights and weekends to finish, but I'm excited to see it come to life and to share the progress so far. Use the link below to learn more about the technologies I used in Everlly and to see what features it has.
DevPoint Studios Website
Designer, Developer
DevPoint Studios is a software development company based in Salt Lake City, Utah. They specialize in building custom software for businesses and startups. I designed and built their website using Next.js and MUI. I enjoyed creating a design that gave a sense of professionalism and trust while still being fun and playful. I especially enjoyed the process of creating the animations and transitions as well as the custom illustrations.
The duck game is a personal favorite.
The website is currently live and can be found at devpointstudios.com.
DevPoint Labs Website
Designer, Developer
DevPoint Labs is a software development bootcamp based in Salt Lake City, Utah. They specialize in teaching students how to build software and how to think like a software developer. I worked on a team to design and build their website. The site provides information about the bootcamp, opportunities for students and allows students to apply to the program. I used Next.js to build the frontend website.
The website is currently live and can be found at devpointlabs.com.
CellLinQ Mobile App and Backend Server
Developer, UI/UX Designer
CellLinQ is a mobile app that allows users to to see cell tower strength and information relative to their location. I built the mobile app using React Native and the backend server using Ruby on Rails.
The mobile app connects to a hardware device over Bluetooth Low Energy.
The app can be downloaded on the Apple App Store and Google Play, but a physical device is required to use it.
Tally Chrome Extension
Developer
I built a Chrome Extension for Tally that allows users to easily find information about the assets that an Ethereum Wallet holds. Tally is a platform for token governance. The extension adds a tooltip while hovering over an Ethereum address or name. The extension opens a panel to display what NFT's, POAPs and tokens the wallet holds. The extension was built with React and connects to other API's to fetch asset data.
Funnul Web Application
Lead Developer
Funnul is a web application that allows victims of car accidents to easily find a lawyer or a medical service provider. I worked on a team to build this application. The frontend is built with React and the backend is built with Ruby on Rails. I worked primarily on the Frontend and helped to manage the backend development.
HabitatAMS, an Animal Management System
Lead Developer, Designer
HabitatAMS is an animal management system that allows zoos like Utah's Hogle Zoo to manage records for their ambassador program animals. I worked on a team to build the frontend and backend of the application. I was the lead developer and worked on the frontend using React and the backend using Ruby on Rails.
HabitatAMS is a multi-tenant application with complicated permissions and scheduling systems.
SOLOS Web3 Application
Developer
SOLOS is a web3 company focused on creating digital art generated from physical art. I worked with another developer on their team to connect to an API they developed to display art pieces. I built the frontend using React and implemented the ability to mint art pieces on the Ethereum blockchain.
Jarvis Labs Website
Developer, Designer
Jarvis Labs is a crypto token research and design company. I built and deployed a website for their token design part of their business. The website is built with Next.js and deployed on Vercel. I worked with Jarvis Labs to design the website to help users learn more about their services.
ChainPulse Web App
Developer, Designer, UX
ChainPulse is a product by Jarvis Labs. I built the frontend site and also helped to create the design and UX for the product. I worked with other teams to implement the backend API. The ChainPulse product features charting of tokens to help users to see trends in the market. I also implemented other 3rd party APIs for token information.
Layla Mobile App
Developer
Layla is a mobile app that allows users to track their fertility. I used React Native to build the mobile app and Ruby on Rails to build the backen API.
The app is not currently released, but more information about the project can be found at LaylaWellness.com.
Other Projects
I have also worked on some other great projects not listed here. These include a custom Learning Management System, an app to help people learn to read Chinese, and a mobile app to see how your car would look with different styles of rims. I also worked on a product geared towards personalized sales presentations.
I should also note that the projects in my portfolio do not include those that I did for school, that list would be too long to include here. However, those were also great projects that I learned a lot from.
One of my first apps I built was a game called "Cat Or Dog" that went surprisingly viral on Reddit. My follow-up to that was a web app called "Is It A Bangr?" loosely referencing the TV show Parks and Recreation that earned me another 15 minutes of fame on Vice Magazine.
Sadly, these projects aren't live anymore, but they were some of the key early projects that helped to jumpstart my career.
