About

Hi, I'm Jeremy Parker, a designer and developer specializing in crafting a measureable user experience through web and app builds. Here you will find my work journeys, user stories, and metrics for these projects. I have focused my career into smaller contractual roles in order to gain experience in as many fields as I can. It was an early passion of mine, to become a jack-of-all-trades with specialized knowledge in many fields. Which has allowed me to become a key communicator across teams. I thrive in growth and productivity. Driving results and achieving success beyond scopes are what get me up in the morning.

Nice of you to drop by and welcome to my career overview:

I bring leadership, spirit, talent, intelligence, and a commitment to excellence. Backed up with over 25 years of experience collaborating with global corporations, local and national small businesses, non-profits, and dynamic startups.
