Web Developer Portfolio

I am a web development professional who has recently completed an intensive, full-time coding bootcamp where we took a deep dive into the fundamentals of full stack web development. As a former librarian with a Masters in Library Science, I feel comfortable dealing with information and hope to make the most of this training as I transition into my new career. I love challenge of building abstract things that work, especially the problem-solving aspect of putting together complicated web applications. I am very much looking forward to launching my new career so that I can move further along my path toward becoming a skilled web developer

I am familiar with: Java (OCA Certified), Spring, Microservices, Hibernate, JavaScript, jQuery, Node.js, Express.js, MySQL, MongoDB, Sequelize, Mongoose, React, Turf.js, HTML5, CSS3, Bootstrap, and Bulma.

Abstract Strategy Gamers Club

A site for fans of abstract strategy games

Role: sole developer

A web site in development for fans of abstract strategy board games like chess, go, and othello, with a focus on less-well-known abstracts that don’t have the web presence of more popular games like chess. Allows users to create an authenticated profile that records the games they are interested in playing. Using information from their profile, it also allow users to find other site members who are interested in playing the same games they are and sorts them by geographical proximity to facilitate setting up in-person gaming sessions or local gaming groups. Future features will include pages for individual games featuring links to strategy resources, and the ability to form local groups.
