WHAT ARE YOUPROUDEST OFCREATING?

That's the question we asked four women in

the Patriot Software Tech team.

FROM PHP TOPOKEMON,

the leading ladies of Patriot Software Tech

have accomplished tremendous work in their

field. Here's what they had to say about their

favorite projects:

JENDAVIES

UI DESIGNER

"One of the most enjoyable projects I worked on was the

website for Pokémon: The First Movie. I remember

researching in depth about Pokémon and its followers to put

myself in the mindset of the fans. I worked for several months

using the latest technology at the time to create a fun and

dynamic site. When the site launched, there was an incredible

amount of people viewing it…so much so that it crashed the

website servers! It was nice to know that my work was being

viewed by so many people all over the world."

ANGELIA

DIANTONIOWEB DESIGNER

"I played a big role in redesigning all of Top Echelon’s new

look in 2015 – which included rebranding the logo, and

designing and developing a huge new website. Basically, we

streamlined two separate company websites into one

marketing site and blog to make the brand more cohesive to

our customers. I purposely started with an empty WordPress

theme so I could customize everything, and I got to learn

more about the PHP code behind the WordPress structure. It

was challenging because our goal was to revamp everything in

only a few months. I really enjoyed being a part of that whole

process, from designing a simple logo to building a totally new

website."

VIRGINIAFLOOM

WEB DESIGNER

“One project that I consider to be a great feat is Top Echelon’sState of the Recruiting Industry 2015/16 Report and some of the

related marketing pieces. The report itself is a 20-pagedocument–the largest that I have created yet–that uses charts &

graphs, and callouts to share the information in a digestiblefashion. Part of the report that sets this apart from just a normalprint project would be the desired end goal being a single-page

PDF for digital viewing, yet also still look good if the persondecided to print it. The marketing materials that I worked on for

the report included: web ads, social headers, an email, and landingpage. Working on this project and creating a cohesive campaign

was a challenge that was both rewarding and exciting!”

TERA

STATENSOFTWARE

ENGINEER

“In my last semester of college, I made a side scroller RPG gamewhere Link from the video game Zelda fights turrets and avoids

traps. The game was created using C# for scripts, Unity 5, andGIMP for creating small sprite sheets. Link used a sword to stabhis sworn enemy, the turret. He had to jump, sprint, and dodge

traps and bullets from the machines. Some traps included spikes,drop out floors, and hidden turrets that pop out of the ground

upon entering a certain distance. Players would collect points bycollecting custom made rupees. Even though I’ve worked on

projects that might be considered more serious, this video game isone of my favorites. I love playing video games, and I enjoyed

making one of my own.”
