**Current Project:**

I’ve been working with a client for about a year and they’re needing some more ongoing help. This project has lots of opportunities. The website is an in-house business admin for a curtain/shade manufacturer. It is built in Laravel 4 (which we should probably upgrade soon) and the front-end uses Angular. Some of the interesting things about the project are we’re dynamically using Angular to create curtain drawings (SVGs) on the fly. Way cool! It is definitely a great project.
