This project was my first full-stack application from scratch. I worked with two classmates to develop a tool designed for programmers, but one that can also be effective for anyone who works from a computer. It is equipped with features like the ability to record the amount of time spent and value earned on each project a user works on, a progarmmable timer that alerts users to take an exercise break, and also the ability to save notes or code-snippets for later user. The built in database stores all this info for a user to maintain as their project list grows.

This project is a full-stack website meant to provide home gardeners with planting schedules, growing guides, and a place to store details and notes on their past gardens.
My initial roles were to connect the API route to fetch growing schedules based on a user’s zip code, as well as implement our database and the necessary routes to read and create the notes that would be stored there. I also designed the page layouts and css styling, and developed many of the React components that were used in this project.

This was a peoject meant to further practice utilizing queries to third-party APIs in a proto-website. Using the power of JavaScript and jQuery, and several frameworks, this site is able to tell a user if their e-mail has been found to be involved in a data breach.

This was a full-stack project intended to get familiar with a new stack. It was the first time that I used MaterialUI as well as the first time I used any of the AWS tools (I primarily used Amplify for this project). The intended use is for team meetings, where agends can be displayed, and the list of topics could be walked through and discussed. While the functionality is simple, the final product is clean and intuitive. This app comes complete with CRUD operations to a GraphQL database.

For this demo, I built a react app to demonstrate how a simple keylogger can retrieve data. I add one small JavaScript file and install a single dependency package. The "EmailJS" package is included to use their SMTP server to send emails containing the logged data. A messageis sent everytime a user types something within the app and then clicks their mouse or hits enter. In practice, the messages would contain every string of characters a user entered before submitting a form or field. While this is a simple design, it shows how a commonly used package can be utilized to enact a very serious invasion of people's property.

This project is a standard text editor that can save user inputs, but also can be downloaded as a progressive web application so that it can be utilized offline.
IDBdatabase is used to store data on the browser, webpack is used to minify assets to lower load time, the manifest plugin is used to provide instructions necessary to install the app locally, workbox is used to build out the service worker that can fulfill requests without network connectivity, and the babel CLI is used in the build process to compile ES6 code to older versions.

This project is a back-end API built to mimic the functionality of a large-scale social media application.
An Express server was configured to connect to a Mongo database that utilized the Mongoose ODM. Models were made for Users, their Thoughts they could post, and their Reactions to other user’s thoughts. CRUD actions apply to each model.

This full-stack blog allows users to signup and login/logout, to create, edit, and delete posts, and to comment on the posts of other users.
An express server equipped with a Sequelize ORM was used to connect a MySQL database to the front-end. Handlebars.js was used to dynamically generate elements populated with stored data. Tailwind was used to style the site, and bcrypt and dotenv was used to secure user information.

This back-end app runs in the node.js environment and prompts the user so that they can easily outline aspects of their organization. The app generates tables within the console that display the information.
A series of JavaScript classes were made to create the general layout for each department, role, and employee. Inquirer was used in conjunction with node.js to be able to present the user with interactive prompts that would pass input into the generated console tables. All user-submitted data is saved to a MySQL database.

This back-end app runs in the node.js environment and prompts the user so that they can develop profiles for a team of employees. The app generates an html page that displays employee information on personalized cards.
A series of JavaScript classes were made to create the general layout for each employee role, and all were tested using Jest. Inquirer was used in conjunction with node.js to be able to present the user with interactive prompts that would pass input into the generated html page.

This app fetches current and 5-day forecast weather data for a user-specified location.
I utilized two third-party APIs to retrieve weather data and jQuery to display it. Local storage is used to save previous searches.

This app generates random passwords with user specified lengths and character/capitalization requirements.
I developed this app to practice creating object-oriented JavaScript functionality.
