Bridging the gap between analytical and creative, my experience as a team leader, administrative analyst and multi-media artist give me a dynamic approach to solving problems. My new found passion for coding combined with my abilities to lead a diverse team forward to achieve common goals will make me a great addition to any team of professional developers.

Rancid Tomatillos

Contributors: Patrick Becker & Ana Bennett

Technologies Used:

  • React
  • Router
  • Cypress
  • JavaScript
  • CSS/JSX
  • Heroku API
  • GitHub
  • NPM
  • Figma
  • Trello

Planning

  • Utilized Figma to create a wire-frame and Trello for a project board to organize user stories and gather inspiration to create our own project.

Challenges

  • We had to learn React, Router and Cypress asynchronously for the first time ever.
  • We had to plan if a component would be functional or class based.
  • We avoided using hooks to further our understanding in class based components. -Switching from single page UX to multipage UX.

Wins

  • We successfully implemented Acceptance and E2E testing in Cypress.
  • Successfully implemented functionality and full DOM manipulation with React and Router.
  • Fully integrated API network requests with error handling into the app
  • Successfully coordinated asynchronous and paired coding.

Possible Future extensions

  • Add movie trailer viewing functionality and display
  • Search feature to filter and find movies
