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."

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.”
