About me
How's it going? I'm Eric, a dedicated software developer, experienced in building web applications utilizing React, Vanilla JavaScript, CSS, and Test Driven Development, with accessibility in mind. I get energized by opportunities to learn new technologies and I enjoy working closely with others to bring ideas to life.
Before my transition to tech, I spent a decade in Austin, TX. immersing myself in the city's vibrant music scene. As a musician, who's explored various genres from bluegrass to jazz, I bring a dynamic approach to software development, blending creativity with technical precision.
My background also includes a few years in the bike industry where I was able to share my passion for outdoor sports and recreation with prospective customers by helping them find the right products to meet their needs. I spent some time as a bike mechanic as well.
I am currently looking for an awesome team to contribute to and continue to grow with, let's connect!

Projects
Cocktail Finder
Cocktail Finder
Tools Used
Cocktail Finder is a web application where a user can find new and familiar cocktail recipes and save their favorites. We successfully integrated user authentication into our application using Google Firebase, implemented Cypress to effectively test all possible user flows, and ensured that the UI was responsive across small, medium and large breakpoints.
Fido's Trick Log
Fido's Trick Log
Tools Used
Fido's Trick Log is a web application that caters to dog owners who are looking to take their pups skills to the next level. The app features a 'Trick Log' where the user can compile their favorite training videos in one place. For this application, I build my own API using Node.js and Express.
Rancid Tomatillos
Rancid Tomatillos
Tools Used
Rancid Tomatillos is an interactive App that displays movie information including overviews, ratings, images, trailers, etc. to the user. Additionally, we added a "movie picker" feature that provides a randomly generated movie for users who struggle to decide what to watch. We had to access multiple API endpoints to retrieve all the necessary movie data and display it effectively on to the DOM. The big takeaway was transitioning from writing vanilla JavaScript to utilizing React, as well as implementing Router and Cypress testing for the first time.
