The Portfolio of Jessica Wayde Developer and Writer

Who is Jess Wayde?

Hopefully that's what you're asking yourself. I am a website and web app developer, specializing in front-end technologies but with enough experience under my belt to operate decently in most situations. I like nothing more than to take a beautiful design and use my coding and styling skills to replicate it as perfectly as possible. I am a writer, specializing in technical writing due to a long history of documentation and report creation, but also writing fiction in my spare time. I love finding just the right way to word a complex process so that everyday people can understand, even with no experience whatsoever. I am a data analyst, picking apart the statistics of "why?" in my spare time, as well as analyzing things that, quite frankly, interest me. I adore making spreadsheets and flowcharts and providing details examinations of why they function precisely why they do.

What does Jess Wayde do?

I make websites, for the most part. My longest experience, at this point, is with the various versions of Drupal. For personal projects I tend to fiddle around in Node and whatever framework strikes my fancy at the time, but I dabble in C#, React, and everything else. You can peek at all of those under "Work and Projects", just below. Along the way I've written a large amount of technical documents, almost all of them proprietary and owned by my various employers. You can see my public-facing writing under "Writing and Data", just below that!

What is Jess Wayde's Greatest Weakness?

You're quite forward! Probably my biggest missing skillset is in design, which you should be able to tell by looking at this site. I'm totally okay with that, and I have a lot of design experience that has given me the tools to really understand just why I'm lacking in that area. I like to think this gives me a greater appreciation of design itself, and provides me with focus and knowledge when implementing a design.
