Software development is an exciting and humbling passion.
Every success and failure leads me to solve more increasingly difficult problems. I favor JavaScript over
Python for web-apps but have a secret desire to learn Python robotics.
Recent Work
Express, JavaScript, CSS, AJAX, Pug, Sequelize, Postgres
Wanderhunt allows users to share their adventures with others. We used asynchronous JavaScript to make calls to a
backend API with CSRF protection to complete actions such as posting adventures and comments, logging in or signing
up, and soon, follow other
users for a newsfeed of their travels. I levereged the power of the ORM, Sequelize, which allowed me to use
operators to quickly get loads of organized data. Get excited and get out there with Wanderhunt.
Express, JavaScript, CSS, AJAX, Pug, Sequelize, Postgres
As the name implies, this "Stack Overflow" clone lets users post questions they may have about a STEM related topic
and/or answer questions that are in their knowledge wheelhouse. In addition to AJAX to perform many of the actions on
the site I used it with JavaScript search input event listeners (on "enter") to display API data at a
custom url.
Python, JavaScript, React, Redux, CSS, AJAX, Flask, Postgres
This useful 'to-do' list app allows users to create and
update lists and task information, and will soon allow users to search their collections and share lists with other
users. Interactive features that function intuitively, which I attribute to leveraging the one-to-many
implementation of Flask's model relationships. I'm currently creating custom JavaScript algorithms to filter through
database collections asynchronously, reloading only the necessary React functional components.
About Myself
I shifted focus from teaching to software engineering to both challenge myself and develop marketable skills
for technical careers in today's economy. Now I understand how to use asynchronous JavaScript to fetch, order and
deliver data from a backend API. I'm able to learn a software language or library in a matter of weeks and implement it
into a project. I've developed a healthy habit of database and algorithm practice every week and save troublesome
problems to return to. I continue to build on these essential skills necessary to succeed in the industry and am most
excited for an opportunity related to robotics and sustainability or that let me implement new and interesting features.
We're building a bus!
My wife and I decided that we wanted to build a school bus into a home. We're looking for an opportunity that allows
our family the opportunity to explore
the country with the safety and stability of home, and wifi redundancy. So if you're into that sort of thing, feel free
to reach out
though GitHub, LinkedIn and AngelList social media.
