About me

I'm a Front-End Engineer with a passion for problem solving and learning. My personal interest in gaming, computers, and technology lead me into this field, and I am thrilled to be able to say that I am a part of it. In addition to my desire to continue to learn and grow, I also hope to work with a team that is equally dedicated to making a positive impact on people.

Save Game is an app that I made independently over 5 days, with the purpose of giving users the best deals on video games from various distributors.

My goals for this project included using a public API and displaying that data to the user, allowing the user to interact with the data, and making the website be responsive for various screen sizes, including mobile.

My biggest personal accomplishments with this project were how surprisingly simple it was to add responsiveness to this app, and learning how to work with an API that could take in several arguments in one request to get data based on multiple filters.

Wish You Were Here is an app that I and 3 other team mates made over 12 days, with the purpose of being able to take group photos with people who are in separate locations, specifically targeted towards fellow Turing peers now that Turing is remote.

Our goals of this project included learning and implementing new technologies as a group outside of the Turing curriculum, specifically web sockets via Socket.io, and working with React hooks, Router, and Cypress.

The biggest challenges that we solved during this project were learning how to access and interact with the user's camera, and how to communicate image position data between users.
