My background is in Digital Media Management, Marketing, and Project Management. I love working on creative and difficult projects that require problem solving and collaboration. I build everything from websites for small businesses to fully interactive web applications.
Many of the projects that I've created have been a mixture of interesting problems and creative solutions. They've required some sharpening of the skills I already had, as well as learning all new languages and engaging in strategic problem solving. Here are a few of them:
T1 INSULIN:RATIO was a project that I conceived that would assist Type 1 Diabetics with the calculations for when they eat out. A user can enter their insulin to carb ratio into the app and then look up popular foods at restaurants and the app would tell them how much insulin was required for each food.
The project was a fully integrated MEAN stack application and used Node.js, Angular.js, JavaScript, Express, MongoDB, and HTML5/CSS3 languages and frameworks.
CrowdCare was created in order to foster volunteer effors in close-knit social circles and communities. It allows users to create and share volunteer projects and associate tasks that can be claimed by other volunteers in order to complete a project.
CrowdCare was built using Ruby, Ruby on Rails, PostgreSQL, jQuery, JavaScript, and HTML5/CSS3.
GoodSpirits is an application that allows users to create profiles, search beers that they like, and write reviews.
GoodSpirits was created using Node.js, JavaScript/jQuery, AJAX, MongoDB, and HTML5/CSS3.
