16-Day Final Project

For my capstone, I built an entirely re-imagined web application for online gaming and content creation collective known as, Branched Gaming Network.  This re-imagination aimed to take a previously lackluster website that did not function to the extent of the community’s needs and transform it into a responsive web application that could direct the traffic of the community accordingly.  Therein, the new web application includes features such as dynamic access based on a user’s registration and assigned status, an embedded stream viewer that showcases community partners based on concurrent viewership, an integrated community calendar, and single-vote polling for collecting community input.

Technologies used: JavaScript, React.js, Node.js, Express.js, MongoDB, Multer, Joi, Axios, JSON Web Token, React Hooks, Twitch API, Google Calendar API, Fullcalendar.io

Hire Me Because…

Both as a developer and a person in general, I strive to always continue collecting additional useful information.  I am a highly impassioned person who, through involvement, finds a connection with the work I am doing and its importance in its respective field.  Additionally, I work well independently and alongside others in instructional, leadership, and complementary capacities.  I also, independent of scenario or capacity, find the process of problem-solving and troubleshooting to be rewarding.

Passion For Programming

My passion for programming is deeply rooted in my early experiences with technology changing around me.  I started out just exploring the very basic levels of programming using in-game command lines.  That naturally evolved to filling nearly all of my elective classes in high school with programming classes.  After high school, I took on a twelve-week internship with Gaze working on their HousingDB project.  My passion for programming has been a keystone of my life for quite a while now and it only grows with each new bit of knowledge I acquire.

Three Words About My Professional Qualities

• Diligent – The most satisfying result of success is knowing that I pushed through a problem to find a desirable solution.
• Versatile – I take additional responsibilities to learn and explore new skills and have a lot to offer in areas outside of technical capabilities.
• Passionate – I take a lot of pride in performing to the highest of my capabilities and producing quality work.

Three Words That Describe The Best Role For Me

• Growth – As I grow as a developer and as a person, I would hope that my role would grow alongside me.
• Communication – Clear and concise communication within all levels of a work environment simplify tasks and general morale.
• Involved – I enjoy being involved as deeply as I can in whatever role I may be performing, even if it is simply for informative purposes.
