I make art and software for the web.
I have a strong creative background and a passion for learning. I'm currently working as a software engineer at Groupon. Previously, I've built applications to help attorneys, and software to help monitor real-time traffic. In my free time, I mentor young develpers that are just getting started on their careers.
🚧 Work in Progress.
A simple site to create your own pixel art. I made this as the first consumer of my design system! I know, I know a design system? Well, not really. But I wanted to start building some components and pacakges in a monorepo structure. It also uses github actions to release, publish and deploy to NPM.
Injuries play a large role in the NBA. I follow the Chicago Bulls and I like to stay up to date on the injury status of they players. I use this app to scrape the latest injury report and updates from a popular sports website. The real fun part was getting to work with begin.com. Wow, what a cool service! It's built on top of Architect which helps provision all AWS resources for you.
Did you ever wonder how many asteroids are flying by Earth today? Me, too! This app was built to test out Remix's cool loader function and how easily the app can deployed to edge networks. Uses a NASA API to get the data.
Last summer I built a bunny hutch...now I need some bunnies. I built this scraping app to check for new bunny listings in the surrounding areas. Built with Remix and deployed to Fly.io.
One of my favorite questions! So, I made a quick form to gather your answers. This was a fun project to learn more about the feature's of firebase and the exploration of a zero-backend stack. Also, this allowed a chance to play with some new typeahead functionality.
Need a hot tub? Don't have any cash? Use this app to help pair you with a free jacuzzi. This is a small Rails application which uses a rake tasks, a scheduler and nokogiri to scrape Craigslist for any available free hot tubs. It uses Postgres to store the listings, but also flags them as inactive when the listings are removed.
This is a simple git based CMS site to store a collections of random projects. Mostly homebrew recipes and art projects.
This project actually started as a capstone project for a bootcamp. Since modern tech stacks are constantly evolving and improving, it's nice to have a project to play with the new features. Rails 5 has become Rails 6. The client was migrated from server templates with Angular sprinkles to the Ionic framework using React.
