An app for ceramic artists to store, search, and share their glaze recipes.

the glazebook

ExpressJS, MongoDB, Jade, CSS

This is my current project. Right now, users can add recipes and filter based on parameters like surface texture and firing temperature.

I plan to add a search feature using AngularJS, OAuth for social login, autocomplete for ingredients, a responsive design, and more.

AngularJS, Jade, CSS

For this project, we were told to create app that mimics the voting and comment functionality of the website, Reddit. In the process, I learned a lot about two-way data binding, Angular validations, filters, using external libraries, and even a bit about Angular animations.

Ruby on Rails, RSPec, Capybara

This project was quite a challenge with so many new tools and methodologies all rolled into one app! Working on this app, I became more familiar with Ruby and the Rails framework, practiced TDD with RSpec and Capybara, and learned to develop an app with the MVC design pattern.

Other Projects

Fun Finder

Javascript, API Integration, RESTful Routing

This was a group project I worked on with three of my classmates—Jacob Brenneman, Ashley Pelan, and Dylan Zincone—over the course of three days. Fun Finder is an app, developed on the MEAN stack, that takes a location and type of activity—both entered by the user—and returns a collection of randomized local events, pulled from the Eventful API. Users can then 'stumble' through the results, saving favorites to their profile.

Sass, Foundation, Responsive Design

Mountain View Pediatrics is a responsive website I created for a small pediatric office in Gainesville, Georgia. This project represents many firsts for me, including my first use of a front-end framework, my first attempt at designing for multiple screen sizes, and my first time using a CSS preprocessor.
