I am a self-taught fullstack developer specializing in ReactJS. In my previous years, I have been exposed to many unique locations, people, and ideas. Because of that, I have acquired many useful skills that have helped me to pursue a career in development.
- I am flexible. I easily adapt to change and look forward to it because for me, change typically means progress.
- I am open-minded. I have a global perspective that allows me to view the world outside of myself. In this day and age, I believe it to be especially important.
- I am driven. When I decided to pursue a career in development, I made decisions that were necessary to guide me to success. I purchased the necessary items, and dedicated every waking free time to studying and creating projects. I recently made the decision to work part time so that I could dedicate even more of my time to development.
My life experiences have shaped me to be thoughtful, curious, determined, eager, comedic, and empathetic. As I continue to create projects, I hope to infuse my personality into them and provide a safe, meaningful, and fun experience for future users.
Experiences Unique To Me:
- I had success playing Blackjack professionally.
- I lived in Turkey and had the pleasure of experiencing diverse cultures. Unfortunately 9/11 happened during this time and my family was sent back to the United States.
- I lived in Monterey, California, a beautiful hub full of rich culture.
My Projects
I have kept myself busy working on a few small projects (and one very large project). I am always finding new ways to refactor or add new functionality to my projects as a way to learn and improve my skills.
The Puzzle Society (PRIVATE REPO)
The Puzzle Society is where users go to play games and in the process, become a part of a secret society where playing games unlocks points, Society history secrets, and more! Play as a guest, a registered user, or a subscriber to fully maximize your experience. Invite friends, view your statistics, receive notifications on whether you've earned an achievement, etc. The Puzzle Society awaits you.
Random Book Generator
Random Book Generator suggests a random book to those who are looking for something new to read. It was built using React, Redux, Google Cloud Firestore, and Material-UI. The user signs up or logs in and a unique id will be stored in a Users Collection database on Firestore as well as in a Redux Users store. The user then has access to the Book Generator. When clicked, the Book Generator receives a single random book from the New York Times Books API. The user can favorite the book and a unique id will be assigned to the book where it will be stored in the specific user document as well as locally in a Redux Books store.
TypeScript/Postgres To-do App
I created this full stack application to add new technical skills as I learn them. The React app contains a simple to-do list but utilizes an Express and NodeJS server by making http requests, where the server queries the data stored in a postgres database. TypeScript is also used for type safety.
Harry Potter Trivia
This fun application was built with React.js, React-Router, Material-UI, and Lodash. Each question and its answers are stored in an object that is then randomly displayed one at a time.
