Watch, listen, absorb, and perpetually learn.

I have been out of the scene for about 5 years raising my daughter. She is now in school and I am very eager to get back to work.

I have been teaching myself self JavaScript. Curiosity, got the best of me and I wanted to try as much as I could. So I have made CRUD apps in Ruby on Rails, and a reddit bot in Python; just to get a taste of the differences between the languages. Lately I have been concentrated on JS, React JS, React Native, and MySQL.

I am constantly looking to learn. Learning has always been a driving force, a motivation for me. My goal right now is to find a place where I can get back to the work force, in an environment of learning and improving my code.

Ruby on Rails blog hosted on Heroku

A hosted Ruby on Rails site I made that can host blog posts, simple CRUD. Comments enabled, as well as images can be loaded up.
Looking into the Ruby on Rails documentation I put it together out of curiosity.

React Native App

React Native

React Native App I created. In hind sight I preferred the Flutter experience, Flutter felt more stable. I created this App so that me and my wife could keep track of the list of groceries and be able to tell what has been grabbed and what has not yet. The repo has screen shots.


Weather School hosted on Github

A very simple yet practical for my personal use, a weather checking app. Every morning I needed to check the weather to know how to dress my daughter for the day. So I made an easy url site I can look up with an API hooked up to a forecast site that when I check in the morning it will let me know how cold it is now, does my daughter need a sweater? How cold it will be at the middle of school 3 hours later. And what the weather will be like when I pick her up from school. Do I need an umbrella? It simplified this process by giving me 3 different 3 hour segments of forecast. Simple HTML, CSS, JS getting info from an API. simple. effective. convenient.

Kung Fu Dice hosted on Github

Made with React JS. A kung fu dice game I built. Meant to be like a tile based kung fu match. Each tile has 2 options. When that tile is picked it round robins between players to decide what to choose based on the other players "stance" If a player shows a stance with Strike or Block options, its up to the other player to choose a stance to beat or force a draw. I strike you block I grab you strike.
