Batimatech

Batimatech is a non-profit organization that helps construction companies in Quebec find new and relevant technologies. Between October 2022 and April 2023, I worked as a freelance developer for Batimatech, improving their existing website and building a new one. Below are the key contributions I made:

New Website: JeBatimatech

I built a new website, jebatimatech.com, which serves as a directory of existing software and hardware technology solutions. This project involved:

• Custom Directory: Developed a custom directory in PHP and JavaScript/jQuery that is sortable and filterable.
• Directory Management: Developed the "backend" with wordpress custom post type and the ACF plugin so the client can add, edit and import solutions into the application.
• Deployment: Deployed the website to production.

Enhancements to Existing Website: Batimatech

I added e-commerce and membership functionalities to their existing website, batimatech.com. This included:

• WooCommerce Integration: Implemented WooCommerce to enable the sale of online courses.
• Membership Functionality: Integrated membership features that offer discounts on online courses for sponsors and members.

Freelance Project Management

In addition to my technical contributions, I managed the client relationship, contracts, expectations, and timelines. These experiences have equipped me with valuable skills in:

• Client Management: Effectively communicating with clients to understand their needs and provide regular updates.
• Project Management: Planning and executing projects within the agreed-upon timelines and scope.

Managing the full client relationship—from initial scope discussions through delivery and ongoing maintenance—developed my project management and stakeholder communication skills. This freelance experience proved I can operate autonomously, manage client expectations, and deliver on business objectives beyond just writing code.
