About me

I have always had the drive to create. Whether that be art, writing, or painting miniatures, my mind is always focused on creating something new. I am energized by finding something that does not yet exist and making it a reality. And being a queer and trans person gives me a unique perspective for discovering new ideas.

After working as a manager in the Parts department at an autobody shop, I acquired organizational skills, both with managing inventory and managing the needs of the mechanics. It also made me able to communicate between departments to best manage purchasing and categorization of parts.

With my creative drive, my ability to organize, and my experience of being queer, I want to be a force for creating apps that are unique and accessible to people from all walks of life.

For millenia mankind has looked up at the planetary bodies that encircle us and sought to understand their nature, whether that be through folklore or scientific observation. The Mars Chronicles app enables users to foster this sense of wonder as they explore photographic data from the surface of Mars itself - returned directly from NASA's past and current Mars Rover missions.

A user can choose between the four Mars rovers that have existed thus far, including rovers that have completed their tour of service and have since been retired (to rural Mars). Users can then choose either a Mars sol (a Mars day/night cycle during the missions duration) or the date on Earth they want results from. Once criteria has been selected, a user will be shown the photos taken by the mars rover on that day, which they can interact with in order to see in a larger, singular view in full resolution.

This app is ideal to share with friends and family, and is appropriate for all audiences to help ensure that we have a new generation of people looking up at the sky and wondering where we can take our instruments next.

Tools Used

Dungeons and Dragons can be hard for new players to learn. This app is an attempt to make the relevant information easily available to a general public, in the form of a readable wiki-style webpage. As an MVP, this app only has the rules for skills and ability scores, but a user can view and access any of the rules pertaining to those features. It is built using React, and uses the DnD5eAPI.
