I was assigned this project as a front-end developer at a third-party admin company that handles the State of New Mexico Group Benefits Plan in 2022. I was responsible for the design and development of the website, which included creating a custom brand theme, implementing responsive design, and optimizing the site for performance. I also refactored the legacy code to meet WCAG 2.1 compliance. This is pretty much an on-going project; the site has evolved quite a bit since the HCA merger in June 2024.

I created an HTML form where users can securely submit an authorization for the release of their health information. Users can also upload any supporting documents. The form generates a PDF from the user's data and sends the form data to the back end, where it is forwarded in our email system to the appropriate contact points at the PSIA. The form is WCAG compliant and mobile responsive, utilized regularly by our users, and has been a great addition to the resources available on the website.

I created a "database" interface of all the district contacts for the NMPSIA, retrieved from our district contact API via fetch request. The database is searchable, and it includes contact information for various staff role categories for each district. The database is updated regularly and is frequently used by our client to communicate with the districts.

With New Mexico being in a wildfire-prone area, and the recent disasters that affected members of the NMPSIA, I created a web application to allow members to apply for relief assistance in the event of a wildfire or flood. The application is built in JavaScript and connects to a secure backend API that processes and forwards the submitted information to the proper points of contact at the NMPSIA. The application is fully responsive and WCAG compliant, ensuring accessibility for all users.

A project tutorial prompt - build a travel-related packing list app using React JS. The app allows users to create a packing list for their trips, and it will have a feature for sharing the list with others. Credit to Jonas Schmedtmann in his React JS course on Udemy.

UPDATE 5/26/2025:
I felt the need to give this one a refresher in Vite; moving my apps away from Create React App. This list heading is now editable to allow for a wider range of use, whether packing for travel or shopping for groceries. I have found myself using this app for a variety of different things, so I made it more flexible. The app is fully responsive and uses local storage to save the list.
Check out the updated version as I work on further customization! ✨

I created a simple to-do list app using React JS. The app allows users to add, edit, and delete tasks. It also includes a feature for marking tasks as completed. The app is fully responsive and uses local storage to save the tasks.

I created a mockup of the NMPSIA website redesign for the 2025 re-mapping project that has been entrusted to my direction by the executive director. This particular prototype shows the proper "parallax" effect (where the content scrolls over a fixed background) created in Figma. I will be using this mockup as a guide for the development of the new website; the coming upgrades will focus on improving the user experience, accessibility, and performance of the website.
