Hello
My name is Miguel Fondeur, I'm a UX/UI Engineer currently based in Charlotte, NC. What is a UX/UI Engineer you ask? Well, in short, I create the things you see and interact with on the web. If you have a web project or just want to chat feel free to reach out.
More About Me:
I have a passion for building reusable web components and design language systems. I have extensive knowledge in building responsive web apps served across multiple devices and understand the intricacies and limitations of the mobile web. I'm constantly learning new skills that will help me build scalable, maintainable and performant front end code. Although I love using new technologies and javascript frameworks, my preference is to write clean, well commented native Javascript that works across all browsers.

Featured Work:
BLOCK Digital
Sites made Simple
Block Digital
JAM Stack, Hugo, Netlify, React.js
Description
"Sites Made Simple". The goal of BLOCK Digital was to create modern, performant and light weight websites using JAM Stack technologies. I enging behind BLOCK was the Hugo Static Site Generator. I created reusable components or "blocks" using Hugo that could be referenced in Markdown files. These Markdown files would build out the page at run time through Netilfy. BLOCK's sites were also fully editable through Netlify's CMS which I configured using React.js. Lastly, each site came bundled with a "Style Guide" which acted as a UI reference for the client when editing their site through the CMS. It included code examples for developers as well.

Knozen
Personality Quiz
Knozen
HTML, CSS, JQuery, Photoshop
Description
Knozens goal was to bring personality to the web. My team and I built a personality quiz that rewarded players with a fun and accurate personality profile.
As the team's frontend UI engineer I was responsible for translating our lead designers Zeplin specs to the web. I built every feature of the site using CSS3, JQuery and Django Templates. The site called for a large variety of colors, animations and fixed elements. I used GPU-friendly CSS to avoid repainting issues in the browser which greatly affect the mobile user experience. I've included a video of our mobile experience that highlights the best features of Knozen.
Knozen retired this year but we had a great run. 1,000,000+ people completed the Knozen quiz and 50,000,000+ questions were answered. We were also featured in various media channels such as Techcrunch, Business Insider, and Product Hunt.
