What I built
- A custom JavaScript mining profit calculator with live network hashrate and BTC price inputs.
- GSAP-driven hover interactions and section reveals tuned for the dark brand.
- A Webflow CMS structure the team can update without calling a developer.
- Responsive parity from 375px to 2560px.
- Ongoing maintenance engagements across new sections and partnership pages.

Interesting decisions
Decision
Vanilla JS for the calculator
A framework here would have meant a bigger bundle and slower first paint on a content-heavy marketing page. Vanilla JS is small, fast, and easy to hand off.
Decision
Webflow for the content layer
The team needed to own edits. Webflow CMS earns its keep here: non-technical updates ship without a deploy and without me.
Result
Largest single Upwork engagement to date, long-running, and still maintained. The calculator remains a primary conversion surface for the business.
