Projects

• Rails
• Bootstrap
• Heroku
• AWS

This Rails application provides training, bulletin, document library, and time tracking features to a volunteer component of a county sheriff's office. It has been reliably tracking ~500 volunteer hours per month since January 2018.

• Vue.js
• NuxtJS
• Vuetify

This data-wrangling web-application solves a daily, tedious problem for a group of battery researchers. If you'd like a demo, please ask!

• Jekyll

This is a recruitment, blog, and project site for a university research grant. I used a static site generator and customized a pre-made theme ( Massively ). It was originally hosted in an AWS S3 bucket, but I ultimately moved it to netlify for convenience.

• Jekyll

You're Looking at it! I wrote this one almost entirely from scratch, though I did take design inspiration from the sustain theme.

• Ruby
• Jekyll
• HTML

It's easy to throw an image on a webpage and call it a day. Doing justice to your users by serving it efficiently on all screen sizes is tedious and tricky. Tedious, tricky things should be automated; Jekyll Picture Tag makes the latter nearly as simple as the former.

I didn't write it originally, but I did rewrite it! I brought its feature set in line with modern standards, and greatly improved the plugin's architecture to simplify future improvements.

• Ruby

Featherweight, dependencyless HTML generator. After working with Jekyll Icon List, and attempting to improve some other stale plugins, I realized that string interpolation and concatenation are entirely inadequate for programatically building HTML.

• Ruby
• Jekyll

This is a small Jekyll plugin, written in Ruby, which builds lists of icons & labels (like the one above this paragraph!) It saves a lot of time writing and updating markup.

• React
• Vue.js
• Node.js
• express.js
• CSS
• Git

I've worked through Brad Traversy's excellent introductions to React, Vue.js, Node.js, and Express.js, as well as his lessons on CSS Grid, Freelancing, and Git.

• Javascript

30 small vanilla Javascript coding exercises.

• Ruby
• HTML
• CSS
• Javascript
• SQL

During the course of my other projects, I worked through several CodeCademy courses (though not generally to 100% completion) when I felt a need to improve my foundational understanding of a given technology.

• Rails
• HTML
• CSS
• Javascript
• Git
• Bootstrap
• Heroku

Started with an introduction to the fundamentals and a simple blog, then moved on to building a complete website. I'd toyed around with some programming and basic web pages before, but this was my practical introduction to Ruby on Rails, relational databases, REST, version control, and a high level understanding of the architecture behind a functioning web application.

• Fundamentals
• Object Oriented Design
• Databases
• Git
• Quality Assurance

This is where I started, in September of 2017. Over the course of a few weeks I completed approximately 16 hours of video lectures covering the foundational principles of programming.
