KPSU RadioCo Player
A custom radio player for the new website redesign for Portland State University’s radio station. I used RadioCo’s DIY Radio builder kit as a starting point and created a WordPress template that implements RadioCo streaming functionality with a clean layout that matches the site’s new identity. The player opens in a separate browser window so music can play in the background without relying on an AJAX Wordpress template.

The design was created by our designer and I built out the website.

Party In The Park 2020
A website built to serve as a virtual fair during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. This website contained a list of events similar to an in-person Party In The Park fair. This website was built using node and PHP with .php web pages generated using a custom code generation tool to pull organization data from a spreadsheet and create web pages for each organization. Our designer was responsible for designing the assets and I helped my fellow developer build out the templates and created the generator.
