See My Work

Whether it's a news search application like nxplr, or a Murder Mystery Party application like Alfred, I'm always working on a new fun project. Please feel free to check out some of my latest work

A MERN stack web application providing a web interface for NewsAPI. Users can create an account, search for relevant articles, and save them to their account for later review. Built by myself utilizing a Figma design.

A MERN stack web application that uses Chakra-UI and SocketIO for online Murder Mystery Parties. Built by myself in a three-week period (Use justify for demo)

A single page Next.js application deployed on Vercel. Implements third party libraries that allow the user to purchase tickets for the event on the site. Also, it has a form that utilizes an API to export the data to a Google Spreadsheet.

Worked with Randori's CMO to implement a new theme to their WordPress website. Also improved Randori's work processes by implementing a development branch and a staging branch to their live website

Jefferson County 2020 Elections

I was given the opportunity to access Jefferson's election team practices and to improve upon them. A highlight in this role is saving Jefferson County 192 weekly labor hours by developing a Python script to encrypt voter data and automate transfer while utilizing an AWS S3 bucket instead of manual USB transfer. I also saved Jefferson County $399/month by overhauling their existing asset management software with open source Snipe-IT Asset Management on a low-cost AWS EC2 instance
