Tim Froehlich

Hired at Maven Clinic as a Staff Software Engineer, focused on supporting 20+ frontend engineers across a suite of web applications. Across our suite we had 10,000+ daily users that consistented of medical providers and their patients.

Wrote a book of photography and essays documenting nightlife and dancing in Brooklyn, NY. I designed, printed, sold, and shipped all 300 copies myself. The proceeds went to a mutual aid nonprofit called NY Nightlife United.

Created a self-hosted blog with Ghost for creative essays. Included a Discourse integration for forums and comments.

Hired at Hometeam (later re-branded to Vesta Healthcare) as a Lead Software Engineer, focused on establishing the front-end design system for a suite of web applications. Our users were primarily home health aides, elderly patients, and their families.

Created a development blog and wrote articles describing my visualization and UX work and on quality communication in the remote environment.

Created Panorama, an experiment to identify larger trends in the news by aggregating articles into a interactive histogram. I wrote about my methods and reasoning here.

Created Pixel Walker, my first exploration of canvas. Progressively distorts images by sending pixels on a random walk, configurable by direction and color channel. Much of my time on this was spent optimizing the render function, as it quickly becomes expensive to run on large images.

Promoted to UI Lead at Doctor Evidence.

Rebuilt my blog with a completely new style. My old design wasn't truly responsive and the white-on-black color scheme was very difficult to read. After launching the new design, I posted a retrospective on all the designs I'd created since the blog's inception in 2004.

Hired at Doctor Evidence as a senior front-end engineer, where I designed and built many new interactive visualizations in d3.js and c3.js.

Hired as a fully remote independent contractor for Doctor Evidence, where I built my first SVG and d3.js visualizations. I also made a lot of enormous tables.

Made my first creative/artistic portfolio site based on a jQuery package called Galleria.

Taught myself Photoshop and Illustrator, then started creating digital artwork with a focus on abstract, geometric, and generative styles.

Hired as a developer-designer for tech consulting firm in Kansas City, MO, where I created and launched a website for ordering custom orthotics.

Created a promotional site for a friend's sewing business. This, too, was done purely in CSS. I was very enamored with the border-radius property.

Hired as a data assistant for the publishing arm of the Ecological Society of America in Ithaca, NY, where I taught myself PHP and SQL to revamp ESA's online archives.

Transitioned my personal blog to Wordpress from Blogger and redesigned it with a background scene done entirely in CSS. This was a wildly impractical design, but turned out to be a great exercise in learning the limits of complex CSS display.
