About
My name is Rami James. I design products and implement front-ends in Vue and Nuxt. You can find me on Twitter, Github, and LinkedIn. I'm always building something. These days I'm focused on building Vewrite, a project management tool for developer relations, technical writing teams, and writers.
Product
- Concept
- Vision
- Roadmapping
- Leadership
Ensuring that you are building the right things for the right reasons can be a monumental task. I have decades of experience helping teams make smart decisions about their product, ensuring that it matches both business and user needs.
Design
- Wireframing
- Prototyping
- Mockups
- Illustrations
From user experience wireframes and prototypes to high-fidelity mockups, I excel at making simple looking, highly usable interfaces that stand out in our shared competitive market.
Development
- Front-end Development
- Vue/Nuxt
- Accessibility
- Web3
I have decades of experience building software used by hundreds of thousands of users around the world. I focus on creating fast, easy-to-use, and accessible frontends in modern JavaScript frameworks.
Analysis
- Product Success
- Team Process
- User Journey
- Metrics Definition
An extension of the product cycle is having smart analysis of the product that you have built. This means setting up analytics tools like Hotjar, and monitoring them with an intent to feed that output back into your product cycle. It's critical to iterate based on hard data and not intuition.
