Every month we are profiling one of the Web Services Department\u2019s team members. This month we hear about Michelle, who is a programmer with Web Services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How did you enter this career? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It began in 2009 when I studied Interactive Multimedia at Algonquin. From there I continued learning news skills to enhance and compliment my current skills such as design, animation, and visual effects. I also enrolled into a coding bootcamp in Toronto.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where else have you worked?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I started off my professional career as a graphic designer in a publication firm and then landed a position at NRC. I then worked in the film industry at a visual effects studio in Montreal, Framestore Studios. A couple years later I moved back to Ottawa to work as a Web developer at a digital creative agency, Mcmillan. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

What are some of the technologies you have used along the way? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Adobe software, web development frameworks and programming languages, Visual effects software, live-action footage and 3D\/2D renders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What are the best things about your job?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The team and the creative freedom to learn and offer unique solutions for challenges. Having colleagues or superiors who inspire and encourage can be a huge perk at any job and I am so happy to be able to work with such bright and happy people just like that. Being new to this position has been a learning experience, and It\u2019s great to able to pick the brain of these talented developers – It\u2019s inspiring!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do you have some exciting projects you are working on right now?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Raven\u2019s Design System in Typescript and React.JS and web design in Figma.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What music are you listening at the moment?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I enjoy all kinds of musical genres. Right now I am listening to a mixture. I really enjoy listening to jazz pop and soul for dinner parties and just to chill around. For a lively atmosphere, I enjoy old school r&b, electronic and reggae.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What are you reading at the moment?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am reading web development and UI\/UX articles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What do you do outside of work to amuse yourself?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I love Netflixing. Every day I like to get outside and go for a walk with my dog, Nala, and tune into a series or movie. I am currently watching the newest season of Ozark and I just finished the reunion for Love is Blind season 2. Now that warm weather is approaching, I look forward to going on hikes and visiting wineries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What exciting plans do you have coming up in the next year?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nothing solid at the moment but I hope to be able to travel – a trip to Asia has been long discussed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
