The RecSpot

RecSpot is a social media start-up focusing on building a network of individuals sharing recommendations of shows, restaurants, movies, music, and just about everything else. Recspot hired me to build this dynamic website using React so they can allow users to sign up for early access and learn more about their company. Check out the website and Recspot here.

Four In A Row

For legal purposes, this mobile game is called Four In A Row. This project was built with Flutter.

Poober

This project was built with Flutter, utilizing Firebase and Google Maps API. It allows for user registration and log in, user location data, and using Google Maps SDK, Places API, and Directions API, locate nearby restrooms and direct the user to them. This is a work in progress. I learned about API use, mobile geolocation, user registration, and animations in this project.

My personal playground, I've rebuilt this website three times. First, I used Bootstrap, HTML, CSS, and basic Javascript, utilizing a stock-theme from Bootstrap. Next, I rebuilt the site from scratch, using only my own code. This is the third version where I used React, Javascript, Bootstrap, Node, and Mongoose, making the website more dynamic and modular.
