Projects

A selection of what I am most proud of.

HTML/CSS

Everyone's first steps into Web Development. I have maintained the HTML/CSS of a simple website for 5+ years. I have built a variety of meeting sites for teams using various tech from adobe(GoLive and Dreamweaver in the beginning) to pure HTML/CSS. Here are a few sites I am most proud of:

This project was born from a job interview challenge. Given 3 days I was to create a 'Bio' site of a person based off of my hobbies. I used CSS grid for the layout and various CSS transform properties for the nav bar and the hover link effects. This was the first project where I was given a set deadline to complete it by. I learned about project planning and execution as well as tactics for developing a site quickly while still maintaining a professional end product. I kept the code simple and clean to allow for quick updates should the client require it.

I wanted an interactive way to display some images I worked on. Using CSS grid and some Javascript based off of a Wes Bos project I created this site. The images are dynamically and randomly generated from a library, randomly sized and then appended to the parent div using Javascript. I created multiple JS files to experiment with the Javascript generation.

This was a website that I maintained for about 5 years. While the website is not pretty or modern (by owners preference), I learned a lot about working with and maintaining legacy code. I created new content multiple times a week and fixed old content when it was needed.

This was a project I put together in order to keep family updated on some of my family's travels. It uses a CMS which makes quick updates a breeze from anywhere in the world. A CMS was chosen for this site because the site content can be updated from any device, by multiple users over a range of internet connection speeds.

Javascript/node

My first 'real' language. I have spent the majority of my self teaching trying to learn the ins and outs of Javascript.

Craigslist style listing forum build with nodeJS/express. Features user auth, a mongDB Atlas database, cloudinary for user image storage and mapbox for geolocation and map display.

Vanilla javascript Etch-a-Sketch clone build as a requirement for the Odin project.

NodeJS app using express framework and jquery for the API calls.

Other Projects

I have always had some kind of side project going on in my life. Whether it's teaching myself to program, rock climbing, converting a van or building bikes, I am constantly trying to learn something new and apply those new skills to something real. I am very hands on and love working out problems no matter the scale or application.
