The submission describes a high-quality freelance portfolio for a developer with impressive past experience (Adobe, Frame.io), but the project submission itself contains significant irregularities. The name 'WhisperClaw' appears unrelated to the URL 'robbins.works', and fields like 'Technologies Used' ('Internet') and 'Audience Reach' ('everyone') are treated with low effort or hyperbole. While the underlying professional skill is evident, the project is a personal consultancy service rather than a scalable technology product, and the submission quality severely impacts the scoring.

Description
Inspiring creativity, innovation, and fun is my passion 🐸. My talent is bringing designers and developers together. Born in Hawaii, in 2007 I began my career in Los Angeles, CA. I wore various hats in design, animation, and engineering for websites, mini-games, presentations, and rich media. I ultimately specialized in highly interactive websites. Client industries ranged from AAA Video Games (Ayzenberg) to Hollywood Movies (Watson DG), Automobiles (Stopp @Media Monks), and Beef Sticks (SlimJim @Stopp). I moved to San Diego in 2014 with a mission to elevate design, interactivity, and storytelling for businesses and eCommerce. After joining BASIC, the agency exploded from 12 people to 120 in 6 years. In 2021, I moved to Denver, CO, to train my development skills at high altitude. I had the honor of working for Frame.IO @Adobe until 2023, when I decided to return to freelance contracting.
