Jessica Barnett

Front-end Web Designer and Developer

Hello there!

I'm a Junior Front-End Developer based in Philadelphia.

My ideal work-day is a day well spent on a challenging project that pushes me to the boundaries of my technical knowledge, and beyond. I love coding in javascript, especially object-oriented javascript. I'm at my best when working on responsive sites, game-like interactions based on javascript or CSS, CSS3 animations and transitions, and designing svg vector graphics.

Projects

Build A Thing

A somewhat useless but still fun demo web app I've been working on as an example of what I can do with HTML/CSS/Javascript. The site is fully functional and fully responsive. It will ultimately be used as a prototype for a digital pet web/mobile app.

School Budget Visualization

As part of Girl Develop It and Code for Philly's Summer of Open Source fellowship program, I've been contributing to a fork of Code For Philly's schoolbudget.phl.io website, which converts budget data from Philadelphia's school system into graphs using d3.js. My work on the project involves developing a json formatter to format raw csv data, and a suite of javascript functions for searching, comparing, and adjusting said json. This will replace a back-end php solution that was removed from the site to simplify set-up.

Dangerous Waters

A game I made mainly to see how much can be done with vanilla HTML and CSS. I used as little javascript as possible. Animations are 100% CSS. Please note that there are some usability restrictions right now. It is only functioning in Safari and Chrome, and though it scales well and looks good on mobile, it isn't playable yet because of the game's reliance on the hover state.

Bloomsburg Children's Museum

A site for a fictional Children's Museum in Bloomsburg PA. It isn't responsive yet, but is built on a fluid grid, and contains a fluid form with javascript input-checking. It is mostly finished, with the exception of the exhibits sub pages, which all still need a good deal of work.
