Projects

Pawpad

PawPad allows shelter runners a straight-forward approach in organizing dog records. What started as a portfolio project was later adopted (pun intended) by Dog Organization of Georgia as an intermediary management tool. The web client was built with React.js. All dog and rescue data was sent to a server built with Node.js and databases were set up using PostgreSQL and SQL.

Word Nerd

Word Nerd is a teaching platform that creates games as supplemental activities for vocabulary lessons. The app will generate a classroom game so students can have fun while reviewing their vocabulary. This project was built using React.js, Node.js, and PostgreSQL

Athena SWAN

I created an MVP for a proposal presentation to build on the collegiate diversity and inclusion at Cardiff University's Athena SWAN program. I used React to quickly put the application pages together. The client requested I implement Google Firebase and Node.js for the server and use MongoDB for data storage.

iScholars

I worked with a 4-person development team to bring together frontend functionality and backend information in six weeks. iScholars serves as an educational tool for both teachers and students to manage, store, and evaluate classwork.

Other Projects

I did the 30 projects in 30 days challenge. I wrote about them on Dev.to and you can also checkout my project list.

As a former media strategist and elementary school teacher, you can say I have a pretty diverse background. I discovered my affinity towards web development when I frequently found myself looking to technology to build efficiencies in my day-to-day work. Through my experience querying data to create dashboards and building macros in PowerPoint slides, I realized that programming is a powerful solution for many tasks.

Consider me a generalist. My freelance work ranges from creating MVPs to helping clients troubleshoot and fix frontend bugs to overhauling API documentation with YAML. I'm a fast-learner and quick to adapt. Gettting to know different frameworks is always a fun challenge for me. But I find that my strengths lie in JavaScript frontend development and setting up relational databases with SQL.

I am an American expat currently living in Tbilisi, Georgia and in 2024 I will be making my return to the USA after living abroad for eight years. When I'm not coding, you can find me listening to crime podcasts, going for walks, or attempting the Georgian language. Most of all, I cherish time spent eating with friends, sipping coffee, wine tasting, and tweaking traditional recipes in the kitchen.

I love food so much that I ended up making a blog about it.
