The highlight of my year 2025 was creating apps that helped people show love, gain more insight into their jobs, or satisfy a random craving. Even though I didn't write many lines of code, I was glad to have been a part of their smile.
Early in my career, I worked with a web designer to build a heavily customized LemonStand e-commerce website for The Curling Store, a local curling equipment retailer, to reflect how the business actually worked.
I communicated directly with the business owner to understand what they needed and took primary responsibility for the mobile layout, helping the site reflect their business and their users.
I still remember this project because it reinforced something important: understanding the people using a website matters as much as understanding the business behind it.
