Student Assistant - Web Development/Design
Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory
December 2013 - July 2014
Berkeley, CA
I worked on the Monarch Initiative web application as a student web developer/designer for Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory's Genomics division. The website is a place for researchers, clinicians, and academics to learn about genetic diseases and view relationships among disease, phenotypes, genes, and models.
The site uses RingoJS and the Mustache template system. I also used CSS and JavaScript/jQuery to display content on the website. I started off working primarily on the front-end UI then transitioned to also work with the full stack using API calls to generate objects of data for display. The Monarch web application and API are being developed on GitHub.
