OtakuRisuto

OtakuRisuto is an app I collaborated on both front-end and back-end. It is intended to allow users to organize anime that they want to watch, have watched, or by any other way they want. Users can also share these lists of anime, and comment on other users' lists, as well as rate them or even copy them for themselves.

Fitnotes

FitNotes is an app I designed and developed to allow users to track their progress toward their fitness goals. Each user starts with the metrics of weight and body-fat percentage, and can add progress points to those metrics which will be displayed as a graph over time, so you can visualize your progress. Users can also add any other metrics they might want to. For example, their pull up count, or max bench press.

Spaced-Repetition

Spaced Repetition is a project I worked on in school. I designed and developed it after being given the project parameters. It's purpose is to help user's learn Spainish using the spaced repetition learning process. Users are given a word, and asked to guess the meaning. If they get it right, it is moved back in the list, if not, they will be asked again shortly.


About

I am, always have been, and always will be, a nerd (as evidenced by the fact I spend my free time playing Dungeons & Dragons, reading, or watching anime). As such, and considering my father is also a programmer, it seems inevitable that I have found my way into working with code.

I learned to code at Thinkful. I graduated on December 14th, 2020. I spent my time there developing the skills and experiences needed to develop some great websites for you!

If you are in the market for a new developer, passing on me would be a mistake.

I am profficient in:

  • PostgreSQL
  • Node
  • React
  • JavaScript
  • Jquery
  • CSS
  • HTML
  • RESTful API's
  • Enzyme
  • Mocha
  • Chai

I implore you to reach out to me however you prefer. I would love to join your team of developers to help build some great software.
