Some Things I’ve Built

Featured Project

Expense Tracker

I used React.js to build a sleek, easy-to-use expense tracker. I used hooks including useState, useContext, and useReducer, to make the app fully functional. It takes in new transactions, records a history, and allows for deleting items.

Featured Project

Responsive Trivia App

This trivia app is designed to be responsive not only to screen size, but also to questions. I build , a multi-field question generator that access an external API, and fun flashcard CSS animations to help anyone study trivia.

Open Trivia Database API
CSS Animations

Featured Project

Responsive Web App w/ Gatsby.JS & GraphQL

I built a marketing website in React.js for a musician using the headless content management system TakeShape to make it easy for the artist to update their website's content directly. I also automated the triggering of Netlify deployment upon any changes. I wrote my own GraphQL queries to curate content from TakeShape. Last, Gatsby.js helps the responsively-designed website load at a lightning-fast speed.
