Harriet Thompson
I'm a hard-working web developer with 2 years of full stack experience. I believe it's important to enjoy writing your code and to be proud of it. I strive to work in an environment that promotes creativity and innovation. I enjoy working in a diverse team and pride myself on being a fast learner with a flexible attitude. I am looking to be part of a talented team that works together to build something they really care about.
In addition to coding, I enjoy playing the drums and the violin, and spending as much time outdoors as possible.

Digital Lab
My previous role was with the Digital Lab. The team work as part of the BC Children's Hospital and aim to improve child health through digital innovation and technology. Below are some of the Digital Lab projects I worked on:
Seizure Action Plan
The Seizure Action Plan app aims to improve treatment of seizure disorder by replacing complicated seizure action plans on paper to an easily accessible digital format that can be used by patients, caregivers, and clinicians. In addition to quick accessibility, the app provides security and greater flexibility with patient medical guidelines.

Experience
Junior Full Stack Web Developer
As project lead for the last 7 months on the Seizure Action Plan app (details above) I trained 5 new starters on GraphQL & Apollo, Strapi, MongoDB, React, Node.js and Cypress testing. I guided them through project setup, organisation, bug fixes and paired with them on new features. I was instrumental in making technical decisions for the project and troubleshooting issues as they arose. This was a great learning opportunity for me and increased my confidence in this tech stack as well as project organization (GitHub, thorough reviews, code layout) as a whole. During my time as a Junior Developer I worked on other projects, such as the company's own website and a scheduling calendar for the physicians at BC Children’s Hospital. These projects touched on other languages and frameworks such as Python and Angular and allowed me to continue to build experience with REST APIs.
Web Developer Intern
During my internship I worked primarily on a data visualization app built with React, D3 and anime JS. This sharpened my knowledge of React Hooks, SVGs, animations and charting libraries. I was also involved in day to day bug fixes across different projects for both front-end and back-end. This internship was a fantastic learning experience that expanded my git best practices and confidence as a full-stack developer.
