< About Me >

< I am a huge Chicago Bulls fan, a long-time music enthusiast, a sucker for all Star Wars films, and in the process, I fell in love with the creativity coding allows me to have. I've dedicated the last couple of years to learning the fundamentals of software engineering through university education, a Full-Stack Web Development program called Global Tech, and a Coding Bootcamp at Actualize where I am now a Teaching Assistant supporting students with exercises and projects using Ruby, JavaScript, SQL, and other tech tools. Throughout my path, I've reinforced the material learned by creating and expanding on personal projects. Take a peak at my journey in my software engineering journal too. I write about my learnings, bugs and fixes, what I am working on and other interesting things I run into. I bring leadership, culture, innovation, and my passion for solving problems to make a difference in people’s lives. Especially through code. I’m committed to applying my skills and demonstrating my passion in development and engineering to ultimately provide a great user experience - of course while having fun doing it! >

  I'm excited to say that I no longer need to keep a record of movies in my notes! This web application utilizes Semantic HTML, CSS, Vanilla JavaScript, and the Open Movie Database (OMDb) API. It allows users to search for movies and add them to their personalized Watchlist. By accessing the Watchlist page, users can delve into the saved movies' specifics, which are stored locally. Additionally, they can seamlessly return to the search function to discover and include more movies. Future feature will in include database implementation.

  ChatR is an implementation of twitter developed using JavaScript, HTML, and CSS. Users can compose new messages called "ChaTweets" that will appear on the live feed. Through the use of CDN, UUID, and DOM manipulation, users can easily respond to specific ChaTweets and delete them. Additionally, users can view comments, love a ChaTweet, and re-share it. Local Storage will be implemented in the future to save new tweets. Give it a try below!
