For more than a year I served as Lead Full Stack Developer for MovementX, a physical therapy company. I worked directly with a team of doctors to develop their platform using JavaScript, SCSS, Python, Django, and PostgreSQL, with deployments and DevOps work performed on AWS. Additionally, I crafted a prototype for a custom blog titled MovementX Health using Gatsby, React, and GraphQL.
Redux Saga Frontier
This is a React and JavaScript based game allowing users to randomize then confirm a group of four characters to embark on a journey. The program is intended to demonstrate the handling of array structured state with Redux in React, and served as an exploratory side project for my experimentation with sagas and generators. Two APIs are used with references to one another to provide sprite avatars and character data.
AuditQL
Using GraphQL for API definition on a Node, Express, and MongoDB back end with React, Apollo, and Styled Components on the front end, this project for a fictional auditing company allows users to assign auditors to various projects and define their parameters. I built this prior to onboarding in my PwC role to become acquainted with their technology stack.
SpaceX Flights
This React-based website is a virtual museum for all SpaceX flights. Users are able to view information regarding each mission provided by an unofficial SpaceX API.
Flight & Flight Architect
This project is for a fictional private space travel company called Flight. The website was built using HTML and SCSS to demonstrate intermediate level front-end web development techniques. The project is linked to an interactive React web application called Flight Architect.
