About me

Hello, my name is Joseph! I have over 10 years of experience in healthcare and technology.

I started out in the humanities and learned a lot about what makes people tick and how to work with folks from all different backgrounds. I have always loved logic and rules and recently decided to learn how to be a software developer. After attending Turing's intensive bootcamp, I feel that I am able to learn new things and excited for new challenges!

Craft Circle is a no-cost marketplace where crafters can connect to arrange the trade of tools and supplies. Our mission is simple - we strive to make creativity more accessible, creating community one stitch at a time. Users can browse available supplies, search for a particular item or browse offerings for a craft of their choosing. From there, users can start the conversation via email and get crafting!

Have you ever wanted to meet up with friend but did not know where to go? This app lets a user enter two addresses and then search for a location in the middle of those two addresses. The user can also chose to search for a specific category of results.

Using Google API the user is then sent to a page where they can see their results. A map is displayed on the page with pinpoints indicating the results. Then the user sees a list of results with an image, address, average rating, and a price range.
