Projects

Space Shooter

This design was based loosely on two games; 1942 (a vertical scrolling shooter game made by Capcom) and Spaced Invaders (a shooter game made by Midway). In this design I used royalty free icons and images to make a game based on these 2d shooter games. Uses HTML5, CSS3, Canvas, and JavaScript.

Recipe App

Basic CRUD application utilizing a mongodb atlas database for posting, editing, and deleting recipes. Uses HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, EJS, MongoDB Atlas, and Express.

Salon App

React-Native Salon App for ordering products utylizing a Firebase Realtime Database. Using Expo CLI, React, React-Native, React-Navigation, React-Redux, and Firebase.

Twitterclone

This Twitter clone was built using the MERN stack, fully reliant on functional components, hooks, context, and react router, as well as node/crypto for hashing. Our Mongo database has two connections: one for users, and one for tweets. The tweets schema is the most interesting. Any tweet can be a reply. Whenever any tweet is a reply to another, the id's of each will be saved in each other's objects. This allows the tweets and the their replies to be recursively rendered.
