Daniel Oaks
Hi there! I’m a techie / creative person living in Brisbane, Australia. I do everything from music to watercolour painting, but my main professional skills are in technical writing and software engineering. Here’s my LinkedIn, as well as some projects and organisations I’ve worked with.

Front End Development

Here's a selection of my front end web development projects. Some are personal projects and some were made for employers, but I'm proud of all of them. If you'd like to discuss what I can do for your company, organisation, or project, please reach out to me.

DrawRef

This is a drawing reference tool, which lets artists upload images, tag them, and then view them in specific intervals. It's a fairly common type of tool used by artists, based on others like Line of Action, SketchDaily, QuickPoses, and others.

Birdhouse Admin Coding Test

This website was a front-end coding test. It involved implementing a JS library that queried an existing API, and following a design document to the pixel. I also created a mock server implementation of the API using Golang, to simulate a complete dataset and various failure modes.

MLPDS Community Site

This is the website for a drawing community. The site includes a guides section – each page is a markdown document with embedded Vue components. Also, the included art prompt generator (source) shows more dynamic functionality.
