Projects

This is my most ambitious project in my portfolio. When given the opportunity to develop an ecommerce site I jumped on it. I was somewhat nervous accepting the opportunity as it was a much more demanding project than anything ive done before. With that said I was excited to overcome the challenges this project presented. I am extremely proud of this website and after completing it I'm excited to take on new challenges to truly test my coding skills and grow as a developer.

Databasemon is a full-stack application using Node.js, MongoDB, Express.js, and JavaScript with the React library. It is a fully built CRUD application. Users can create accounts and contribute to an all encompassing database by creating, deleting, and editing entries.

Cruddy Homes utilizes the REST API for its CRUD applications. Styled with BootStrap for its readability, scalability, and slick overall appearance. The website is written in HTML for the front-end, Python for the back-end, MySQL for its database, and Flasks framework for routing. The site is complete with validations both with login and registration as well as creating and editing homes.

Funnel Scroll

This is a simple funnel scroll demo. The chevrons are mostly intended for desktop use. When on desktop images increase in size when hovering. On mobile they increase in size after tapping. This was programmed using React.js and tailwind.

Work

I've been employeed as a store manager at WaxPax Records & Toys for 7 years (I am still currently employeed here). During my time at the WaxPax I had many responsibilities. I trained employees, organized the store, and managed the social media and marketing. In addition to this I was also responsible for purchasing, pricing, and selling collectibles in the ever changing and expanding collectible marketplace. This was a challenge I enjoyed because it was impossible to know everything, everyday I would need to learn new things and adapt. My main and favorite responsibility was working with customers. I was able to get to know all kinds of different people and hone my communication skills. My main goal was ensuring customer satisfaction, both for the businesses sake and the customers. I always enjoy making people happy, whenever a customer would leave with a smile on their face I always felt like everybody won.
