About Me
As you probably gathered my name is Jessica Sears and I make websites for a living as a web developer. If you read on you'll find out I attended and graduated Full Sail University in 2013 and have a Bachelors of Science in Web Design and Development. You will also find that I am proficient in many languages including HTML/CSS, jQuery.
What you will not find out though, is that making websites as a web developer is not only my livelihood, but it is a passion of mine. I don't just play with code for a job, I also do it in my free time! I love learning new things and creating cool little tricks.
If you would like to know more, feel free to contact me!

Work Experience
Harris School Solutions Nutrition Division
Software Engineer - June 2019-June 2021
At Harris School Solutions I worked on several different projects. The main product of this business is eTrition, a POS system for school cafeterias and the administration to manage inventory. I was hired to work on the resign of this product to make it more modern and easier to use. I worked on the front end of this new product all the way from style guides and wireframes to full mockups and then to the screen in html/css javascript and angular.
I also worked on several smaller projects including the online menu project for parents where they can log in and see their Childs school menu, this was built in html/css and angular.
Next Horizon / AAA National
Front End Software Engineer - 2017-June 2019
At Next Horizon our team was contracted to work at AAA national office on internal applications to distribute to clubs nationwide. While working at AAA National I used HTML/CSS and Javascript/jQuery to rebuild and design their application CTS (comment tracking system). CTS is used in AAA’s call centers to track customers complaints and incidents to help them resolve the customers issues. For this project I used photoshop to design the interface the employee will interact with, used Ajax calls to get and push data to the sql database and built the responsive JavaScript to make the application seamless with live updates for the user.
After completing the CTS project our team was moved over to support the entire connect suite application where CTS resides. This includes their POS (point of service), M (member management), and SAM (Sales Application Management). When working in these applications I fixed html/css issues, Ajax issues, and many JavaScript issues that the customers (AAA clubs) report.
Visit Orlando - visitorlando.com
Web Application Developer - 2016-2017
At Visit Orlando I worked to maintain their systems and current websites. Each project is vastly different. I used coldfusion to fix issues in some applications, Python in others and Angular 1 in a few of the newer apps. While working in these applications my duties were to fix bugs that were reported, create new enhancements and provide technical support to the staff using the applications.

For these systems I have been mainly worked in the front end languages, HTML/CSS and Javascript.
