About Me

Computer Science graduate from the University of Dayton with a passion for new technologies and solving problems. Struggling on problems is usually not something many people enjoy but coming to a solution for a particularly difficult problem is one of my favorite parts about software development. When I am not solving problems or learning about new technologies you can find me struggling up hikes or listening to music. I'm looking forward to joining a team where I can make meaningful contributions and gain valuable experience.

Projects

Happy Trees

Concept: A guess a sketch style game where one player draws a given word while another player tries to guess what is being drawn. The guessing player is supplied with the length of the word being drawn and three guesses while the drawer has a minute to create their sketch.

Demo: Witness my amazing drawing skills as I attemp to draw Woods!

Jabberish

Concept: A chat application built on a workspace and channel model. This was my first time using Socket.IO and I am looking forward to learning more about it as I continue to improve the site and use it in other projects. This has also been my first larger project built with Redux which has been a really nice way to learn about all of these great tools.

Stack: Node, Express, Socket.IO, MongoDB, React and Redux.

Kanbanify

Concept: A project organization application built on a model of boards, lists and cards. Lists and cards can be moved around inside of a board and multiple users can access a board to collaborate and communicate in real time with each other using a built in chat feature.

Stack: Firebase, JavaScript, HTML and CSS.

Alchemy Type

Concept: A typing practice site built for the needs of a developer. You can choose from builtin passages or add your own to your account. Stats are saved every time a passage is completed so users can see how they are progressing.

Stack: Node, Express, PostgreSQL, Redis, JavaScript, HTML and CSS.
