Restaurant match game for friends built using the MERN Stack and Yelp API. Collaborative team design and implementation. I was the back-end lead who designed the information architecture and ensured our database and server met the needs and logic for the client.

Mixes Sandbox 🎧🎹👩‍🍳

Individual "proof-of-concept" capstone project that is a social media MERN stack application for DJs, music writers, and music publications to organize mixes, tracklists, and charts. Application uses GraphQL and Apollo with Express. Currently scaling to meet a demo front-end client and chrome extension.

Planeswalker Portal 🧙‍♂️🌀🗂

First full-stack application using Postrgres, Express, Express-EJS, SQL, Node (PEN stack) for social media and deck and card organization tool for Wizard of the Coasts Magic the Gathering. Used Magic Developers API and the database and server with Passport to create sessions, authentication, and validation. Currently working on adding style and adding more features to the application. After the application is styled with bootstrap in its EJS / template form, I am going to update a new iteration of the Application using both MongoDB and SQl/Postgres along with a NextJS front end and tailwind styled components.

Projekt Pinball Dev 🎮🕹👾

My very first individual development project. I had an extreme case of covid while making this and learned a lot about scope and being too ambitious for a first vanilla Javascript, HTML, CSS application/game using the Canvas API. Due to the constraints of the project I could not use physics engines / animation environments like Matter.JS or P5 and instead built my own physics engine and collision physics. The project was able to reach MVP (firing pin, dead/zone space of the pinball table, working flippers), but did not have many of the aspects to make it a true "game." Despite this I put in an extreme amount of work and it really helped lay the foundation for my understanding of Javascript ES6 principles, variable scope and hoisting, classes and object oriented design. Despite being very buggy I am very proud of this project and can not wait to iterate on it when time becomes available. Ultimately a further iteration would implement the project in Typescript.
