This site was made with Gatsby/React. You can find its source code here.
Below are a few of my favorite side projects. You can find more on my GitHub.
A web app for hungry, indecisive people who don't know where to start their search for food. My first major React app, this project taught me a lot about how to (and how not to) structure such an app, how to integrate React with a non-JavaScript backend (Django), as well as how to work with multiple APIs.
A tic-tac-toe game that is impossible to win! This was a great exercise in problem solving and translating human thought processes into code. This version was made with React, but I originally wrote it in plain HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, which you can view here.
A personal website for Matthew Carey, a professional singer and speech-language pathologist. This was my first Gatsby project, and my first project for a client. Creating a CMS and structuring the project in a way that allowed for client content management was an interesting challenge.
This app aggregates tech keywords from job postings to show you what skills are desirable in your area. It taught me a lot about the parsing and manipulation of data (JSON, XML, and HTML), asynchronous operations, and regular expressions.
A web application for solving sudoku puzzles. This was one of my earliest projects, and was another great exercise in problem solving. It taught me a great deal about manipulating the DOM, modularity, and recursion. It was made without any frameworks or libraries.
I am a trained musician turned developer. When I'm not programming, you can find me playing clarinet in a local wind band, running, or desperately begging my cat for attention.
