Skills

HTML5

CSS3

Sass

Bootstrap 4

JavaScript

React

Node.js

I'm well versed in several front end technologies for web development. Take a look at my projects and snippets sections to see what I've made, from strict vanilla code websites, to precompiler styled pages using modified bootstrap, and full MERN stack applications with jwt auth.

What's Next

Angular

Kotlin

PWA

E-Commerce

As I continue to learn and develop my abilities further in full-stack web development, I've got my eyes set on expanding my versitlity with things like Angular, and Materialize (with which I am somewhat familiar already), as well as tackling adaptation of web apps to Mobile through things like React-Native, Kotlin, and PWAs. My next project to tackle is going to be a simple MERN E-Commerce website, so keep an eye on the projects page to see the results! I'm looking forward to learning as much as I can!

Resume

Projects

These are various projects where I've put my webdev skills to work!

Picklists

Picklists is a full stack MERN app that allows the [high-velocity retail environment] user to quickly and accurately control opportunities in inventory while merchandise is being shopped from the shelves.

I created this app to create a viable and effective solution to a real world problem that I observed first-hand. I'm looking forward to adding more features like user level associated priveledges, quaggaJS (a dependency that allows the use of a devices camera as a barcode scanner), and also push notifications and geolocation through conversion to a PWA!

Snug Tea

This is a speculative static website design for a an exotic tea import company using gatsby to deliver a fast SPA with custom reusable functional components and a compartmentalized code structure. This was my foray into Gatsby and I found it pretty intuitive to use. I like that it allows the comfort of create-react-app (as well as react-style content rendering: <Link> > <a>), but the SEO optimization of traditional websites.

Louie Beluga (Gatsby version)

I decided to rebuild my creative portfolio using Gatsby with Vercel, and try my hand at the masonry/waterfall format, which I'm having a lot of fun playing with. I have placeholder images from unsplash on the page at the time of writing. I'm looking forward to adding a cool animated menu/splash screen and a scroll responsive footer, so look out for those!

Louie Beluga

This is a bootstrap gallery website for my creative photography and photomanipulations. I used a carousel with the indicators built into a modal box dynamically filled with thumbnails for easy browsing. It also features a responsive footer that is fixed to the bottom when there isn't enough content to fill the viewport, and a spambot obfuscator that dynamically fills the href mailto with javascript on a mouseover event.

Eh, Bippity Boopity

This was my first venture into static website design using bootstrap and Sass with Koala as a precompiler, but I have plans in the future to completely rebuild this into a spaced repetition Italian-learning PWA. Stay tuned!

WeatherMapJS

A simple weather app that uses vanilla script to provide various weather data for a 24 hour forecast, and makes API requests using ClimaCell. Also uses MapBox and Leaflet for the map and reverse Geocoding.

Snippets

These are various snippets I've made, some of which you might find deployed in my projects, or even here on this site.

Alerts & Toasts

Dismissible and responsive alerts & toasts, using only HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript. They can be written into the HTML or inserted with JavaScript.

{#

Expandable Background Video
