COSMIC

COSMIC is a comprehensive space hardware management system I help build for NASA in my role with MRI Technologies in Houston, TX. It meticulously tracks parts from initial receipt to installed on the EMU (spacesuit). It tracks activities, inspections, and an assortment of related documents and reporting. Its purpose is to ensure that every part going to space is ready and in a condition to do it safely.

Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College

I worked on this website in my role as designer and developer at Mad Genius. I built out several of the dynamic, data-intensive sections like the searchable course catalog and the comprehensive "A to Z" index. These sections made heavy use of reactive UI, third-party API integrations, and custom WordPress plugin development.
