A Quick Introduction
Hi, I’m Roc. I’m a Front End Web Developer and Designer living in beautiful Portland, Oregon, United States. I enjoy solving problems with technology and creating interactive experiences. I’ve been at it for more than 20 years, with a 5 year stint in the middle where I owned a coffee shop. I’ve freelanced, worked in ad agencies and big corporations. This has given me a wide variety of skills, from aligning stakeholders to coding and setting up domains and servers, scoping projects and training colleagues. I can see the business needs and the technical requirements simultaneously.
Currently, I’m working at a big finance firm where I help build and maintain a wide variety of landing pages and digital experiences like calculators and interactive guides, acting as a product manager and technical lead. On a daily basis I’m coding in HTML, CSS and Javascript converting Figma mockups to code. As a senior member of my team, I help train new members and have had a big part in building out processes and workflows that help us scale quickly and efficiently. I’ve also shaped our program establishing our first design system, building components, and creating new features into our systems that have made development easier and faster. I’ve been recognized repeatedly for continuously contributing innovative solutions.
