About me

Hey there!

Having spent so much time around computers my entire life and fostering a love for all things gaming, it's only natural that I find myself leaning into a developer role!

The unique challenges and the ever-evolving nature of technology has always fascinated me, and becoming a front end engineer has deepened my love for the craft.

The program has equipped me with a robust skillset in JavaScript, TypeScript, React, and other front end technologies and methodologies - but it has also taught me the importance of creating intuitive and engaging user experiences, and given me the experience of working with various teams to produce multiple projects.

Much like in gaming, where user immersion and interaction are key, I aim to build applications that are not only functional, but also appealing to users. Let's connect and create together!

This project is definitely not Rotten Tomatoes. Nor is it Netflix. Nor is it IMDB. It’s Rancid Tomatillos. Very different!

This is a React Frontend site that calls a movie database and displays said data. This site includes search, dynamic routing for each movie, and support for various screen sizes. The main goal of this project was to learn using React in a team environment, React Router, Cypress E2E testing, and mobile responsive design. Included here is the mockup created for this site.

Worked in a full stack team to develop Runefall - an advanced card search tool designed for the Legends of Runeterra card game, inspired by the popular Magic: The Gathering app Scryfall. It facilitates easy card searches and detailed card views, enhancing the deck-building experience for Legends of Runeterra players.
