Mozilla Firefox
At Mozilla, I was trusted with bringing support for Progressive Web Apps to the new Firefox Preview browser for Android. I shipped support for maskable icons before other browsers and added many other features.
Tiger Oakes
Software Developer with 8 years of experience in functional and object-oriented programming.
I’m Tiger Oakes and I’m a software developer studying computer science at the University of British Columbia. I’m currently looking for 2021 new grad positions. I’ve previously interned as a developer at Mozilla, Google, Yelp, and more.
I started programming in secondary school and enjoyed it so much I’m still doing it! I started with robotics and visual programming languages in Hawai’i. Now, I work on complex web applications and software for various devices. I’ve worked on 2 different web browsers and many different web applications.
Some of my side projects have been featured in Washington, DC and outlets such as the Star-Advertiser, CSS Tricks, Google Developers and Hawai’i Public Radio.
Below is a portfolio of my projects. If you’d like to get in touch or if you have questions about my work, don’t hesitate to contact me.
Google Chrome
Working at Google, I built the user interface for an internal tools created by the Chrome for Android team. "Super Size" tracks details for every file and method in Chrome's APK executable, so I wrote the interface to display thousands of data entries quickly.
Yelp
For my intern project at Yelp, I helped create a new feature on the desktop website to make it easier for users to request quotes from home services businesses. Rather than search for a business and write a message to them from scratch, "Describe Your Project" lets users answer multiple-choice questions before they are presented with businesses to send their request to.
Big Island Buses
Bus rider web app to replace Hawai’i paper bus schedules. Uses JavaScript geolocation API to find nearby bus stops, and the AppCache API to run offline. Won Grand Prize in Congressional App Challenge 2014, Hawaii’s 2nd Congressional District.
