About Me

Hello! I am a University of Texas graduate who is passionate about technology and programming! I graduated in 2021 with a degree in Economics and then decided to enroll in the coding bootcamp App Academy to pursue my goal of working in tech. I love playing games, playing the drums, yoga, and traveling. I'm always trying to expand my network, so please don't hesitate to reach out if any of this interests you!

Red Riding Hood

Red Riding Hood is a project inspired by Robinhood. This was my capstone project and I build the project using React, React-Redux, Docker, Flask, SQLAlchemy, and raw CSS. I implemented the node package Chart.js for the stock price and user portfolio data visualization.

Plantstagram

Planstagram is a clone of Instagram. I worked on this project with 3 other classmates, and the technologies we used include: Docker, Flask, SQLAlchemy, React, React-Redux, and raw CSS. We used Firebase cloud storage for local image uploading.

Git it Done

Git it Done is a project inspired by Remember the Milk. This was another group project, and the technologies used to build this application include: Express.js, Sequelize, and the html templating engine Pug.js

Technologies

Hello, welcome to my personal portfolio! I am a recent graduate from the coding bootcamp, App Academy, and here are some of the technologies that I have experience working with!

React

I have used React multiple times throughout my career as a web developer. I was introduced to the technology during my internship at Saight Dev where I worked on building websites for small businesses in the greater Austin area. I also used React for multiple projects during my time at App Academy.

Redux

I have used Redux to manage state with React for all of my projects with App Academy. I have developed proficiency with manipulating the Redux store to render desired information on the client-side.

Docker

Docker containerization has allowed me to easily deploy two of my projects. The concept of containerization fascinates me and I am excited to continue learning more about how to use Docker as effectively as possible. I am also learning how to use Kubernetes in my free time.

Flask

I used a flask backend for my final two projects and I quickly realized how much I enjoyed using it. I quickly developed proficiency by designing complicated data models and tables for both applications, Planstagram and Red Riding Hood. I used the ORM SQLAlchemy to query the databases, and working with this backend framework made me discover my passion for writing Python!
