I was reached out by her assistant via LinkedIn, initially I was hired to convert her Framer website to be more mobile responsive, however after 2 days, she had a dispute issue with Framer and asked me if I can just build it via code, which I confidently said yes.
I built her UI/UX Designer portfolio with Next.js, React, Tailwind CSS, Framer Motion, Shadcn-UI and Resend API. We went with Next.js because of the performance and how easy the DX is to improve the SEO of all of her pages.
Currently the website is 90% done, only reason why it's still on going is because there are 2 case studies missing to complete the site, but she has taken a small hiatus from it due to having the need to move from Puerto Rico, back to the US. Once she's finished with the case studies and sends me the data, the site and project should be finished after a weekend or two.

Front End Web Developer
HLA Careers Philppines - Manila, Phlippines
I was referred by a friend to their team to help them design and build their Job Portal, this was a part-time position. I coordinated with them when working on the design via Figma first, and build the front-end soon after. I was able to do so, by utilizing one of the industry standard React framework, Next.js. Coupled with Tailwind CSS for styling, Framer Motion for animations, React-Hook-Table&Form, & lastly Shadcn-UI as an unstyled component library.
Sadly the project got axed due to internal issues. Personally, I was devastated as I was highly motivated to finish the project. Recently I finished not only the front-end but the backend as well with my new found knowledge. I used Prisma as an ORM and Postgres for the database. You can view it at my projects section.
Keep in mind this is just an MVP but everything should function, if you're interested to post a job, I can accept it via the Admin Dashboard to test the functionality, just reach out to hello@ethancreates.dev

SEO Content Writer & Web Developer
No-BS Marketplace - South Geelong, Victoria, Australia (Remote)
Wrote SEO blog posts for No-BS Marketplace, an Australian-based digital marketing company that specializes in content writing, SEO, and domain authority. I was reached out by an old colleague for the position, while I was still diving into Web Development studies and courses.
It was a great fit as the tasks weren't as demanding as my previous roles, and I didn't manage anyone as well, it was purely non-stop writing blog posts about various topics, word count ranges from 750 words to 2500 words per article, regularly wrote at least 10,000 words per week.
Midway, I was able to take initiative of taking care of some of the companies WordPress sites, at this point my work load was very volatile, shifting from more writing to more web dev, and vice versa depending on what the team needed more. Soon after, I left the team to pursue programming as a full-time profession, which I also took some courses from Meta as they tests and certifications to ensure I have what it takes to be a dev.

Amazon Account Manager & Team Leader
Ovente - Vernon, CA, USA (Remote)
Started my career remotely, I was tasked to manage the top 50 SKUs of two categories in our product lineup. I was also in-charge of two team members to help me cater to all SKUs and improve organic rankings through Listing Optimization, Keyword Research and proper planning for possible promotions.
Speaking of promotions, I was also managing the PPC for these SKUs and improve the overall ranking of the product by targeting well thought-out keywords.
