WiresharkHere are a few front-end web projects I did recently.
Responsive webpage shows a gallery of my repositories on GitHub. After forking Skillcrush's starter project, I used GitHub's REST API to fetch user and repo data, then formatted them for display. If you want to see more of my projects, this is the place to go!
Skills: ES6, APIs, async, DOM manipulation
Tools: GitHub API, Visual Studio Code, Web Developer Tools
This greenfield project is a React app that lets the user create, edit, search, and delete persistent sticky notes on a webpage. Content is stored in the browser's local data.
Skills: HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, React, JSX, Data Flow, DOM Manipulation, Local Storage
Tools: CodeSandbox.io, npm
A surprisingly addictive game!
I forked Skillcrush's starter for the HTML and CSS, then wrote
the Javascript 3 times: 1st, on my own; 2nd, following
Skillcrush’s instructions; 3rd, combining the best of both.
Finally, I created my own logo and color scheme.
Skills: Vanilla JavaScript, async
Tools: Visual Studio Code, Sketchpad.app, JavaScript console, Debugger
A three-page responsive website for a fictitious small business, starting from HTML5 Boilerplate, a design spec, and a style tile.
Skills: HTML5, CSS3, Flexbox, Git, Google Fonts
Tools: Visual Studio Code, Web Developer Tools, GitHub Pages
In this project, I took a static webpage for a ficticious food truck and made it responsive, mobile-first, with breakpoints for tablet and desktop.
Skills: HTML5, CSS3, Flexbox, Media Queries
Tools: Visual Studio Code, Web Developer Tools, GitHub Pages
Besides developing software I am an herbalist, a mostly-organic gardener, and a media ecologist. For relaxation I enjoy reading mysteries and the occasional sci-fi/adventure story.
I am passionately motivated by fostering positive change that enhances the well-being of both people and the natural world. I favor a holistic approach to problem-solving, seeking sustainable solutions that promote healing and growth while respecting individual choice.
I worked as a software engineer for 30+ years, in regulated and unregulated industries, on teams and individually, with various levels of process, and accrued strength in embedded and communications. Since then, I have started learning web development through online classes and tutorials. After taking Stanford’s Introduction to Databases MOOC and Michael Hartl’s Ruby on Rails Tutorial, I maintained a Ruby on Rails/MySQL website for 2 years.
I have enough training and experience to learn any new technologies needed. The purpose of the project is more important to me in this season of my life than the particular languages and environments used to build it.
I hope you have a really good project we can work on together!
