About me
I started coding in fashion when I was asked to teach myself some HTML and CSS to set up and modify the webstore for a local shop called Steadbrook. Now, after about 1500 hours of pure coding at Turing, I am a fully-fledged BE engineer with a passion for problem-solving and developing apps to make the lives of everyday people easier, more sustainable, and a little more fun.

Tools Used
Logistics for group adventures outdoors can be complicated, especially when it comes to getting all of your gear in order. Gear Up simplifies this by giving users a platform to easily organize trips, decide who is bringing what gear, then determine what the group still needs and who might have that gear already!

Craft Circle
Craft Circle
Tools Used
Craft Circle is a proof-of-concept application made for people to share, trade, borrow, or give away old art supplies.
I worked as a back-end developer on a team of 8, 4 front-end devs and 4 back-end (including myself), to build this app over the course of about 2 weeks. On the back-end, we utilized Ruby on Rails, RSpec, and GraphQL to expose a fully-tested API for front-end to consume, while front-end utilized React to consume the API and build out our front-end website.
This project was especially exciting for a few reasons; Firstly, this was the first time I'd worked with a FE team using an entirely different language and framework. Secondly, I had never used GraphQL prior to this project! We had to take it upon ourselves to figure out how to use this new tech, then successfully implement it within a short, 2-week timeline.
Sweater Weather
Sweater Weather
Tools Used
Sweater Weather is an API that allows users to plan road trips and determine what the weather may be like upon arrival at the destination location. A user can also get a randomly-selected background image for each city via the Azure/Bing image search API.
Sweater Weather uses the MapQuest API to determine the travel time, then the app uses the travel time, the OpenWeather API, and a little math to determine what the weather in the area might be like once you arrive. Thus allowing the user to plan whether to bring a sweater based on the weather!
