About me

My name is Boston Lowrey, a dedicated aspiring back-end developer. My journey into the world of software development is rooted in a deep passion for creating meaningful and impactful solutions through code. From the very beginning, I was drawn to the art of problem-solving and innovation. The dynamic nature of software development captured my imagination, and I decided to embark on this transformative path straight out of high school. While I initially delved into front-end technologies like HTML, CSS, and a sprinkle of JavaScript, my thirst for knowledge led me to explore the intricate world of back-end development. I am on a path to gaining knowledge and expertise to better facilitate the development of my peers and the products we create. I am looking to further my knowledge and skills in back-end development and even front-end development. I want to become a knowledgeable developer and use my abilities to help/work with others but also to be able to perform my job well in this field.

At Zero Waste Kitchen we're here to combat the growing problem of food waste in the United States. American households generate an estimated 42 billion pounds of food waste each year. This is enough food to feed 21 million people each year.

The consequences of this waste not only has a direct impact on people but far reaching effects for the planet. 96% of this waste ends up in the landfill - resulting in roughly 12 Million Tons of CO2 emissions. That amount of emissions is equivalent to powering 1.5 million homes for a year, or driving a car 2.6 million miles.

Our app is aimed at helping people eliminate food waste in their homes by providing recipes based on ingredients that will soon spoil and contribute to food waste. We hope to inspire users to waste less, save more and have an increased awareness around their personal impact and ability to contribute by having a Zero Waste Kitchen.
