While at Lion Interactive, I had the opportunity to work on the WordPress site for Flipoard’s marketing site About Flipboard. Under the direction of my lead developer, I helped to create most of the components as well as manage a team of developers in creating a module based theme that allowed Flipboard to customize each page to their preferences. A large part of the job that I was responsible for was importing over thousands of posts from their old blog which required a custom import process including the transfer of images and sanitization of content. I also used AfterEffects to create a Lottie based animation for their homepage.
