About
I’ve spent the last decade designing and building online projects for clients, in-house, and for fun.
Projects
A full-stack web app created for developers to find hybrid design and development roles.
• Built a full-stack app using PostgreSQL, Node.js, Express, and React. Both front-end and back-end are written in
TypeScript and the front end uses TailwindCSS for styling.
• Created custom React components for front-end list filtering, pagination, and an application form with drag-and-drop
file uploading.
• Wrote custom Express endpoints and implemented asynchronous fetch API calls to read and write to the database.
• Implemented custom authentication using Argon2 for hashing allowing users to sign-up and sign-in securely.
• Deployed to AWS on EC2 instance using Dokku.
A web app created for people to organize their gaming backlog.
• Consumed RESTful APIs and used JavaScript and AJAX to populate data and render the front end of the app.
• Implemented clean CSS using Flexbox to build a mobile-first app that works on all devices.

and to rate games.
