Freelance, Full-Stack Web Developer

I have always taken great joy in solving problems; from cracking logical puzzles for entertainment, to tinkering with gadgets for repairs or customisations. I have also always enjoyed being creative; from sketching and digital graphics, to playing musical instruments and singing. This personal dichotomy is what I believe drew me so strongly towards web development, where logical processes and creativity come together to make new and exciting things. I specialise in JavaScript, mostly working projects written in React.js, but also have experience writing complete projects in vanilla JavaScript or jQuery. I've also worked full-stack projects with Node.js on the server-side.

Portfolio

The JamDex, an index of user-created jams, developed by Jam(es) and Dex(ter). Made using tone.js with React and a Python back-end serving a PostgreSQL database with Flask over 7 days. We created a user interface in React, based on a physical monosynth and drum-machine, which allows users to create short looped 'jams' with tone.js and save them to 'tapes' which are stored on the SQL database.
PLEASE NOTE: JamDex, in its current state, is not mobile-friendly.

JamDex - http://bit.ly/JamDex13

A full-stack project built on the MERN (Mongo Express React Node) stack. Created is a platform for people who make furniture or home accessories, giving them somewhere to post their creations and connect with potential customers. Developed in a team of four over seven days, we learned how to work in tandem with git branches and github, developing a React web app and a RESTful API simultaneously.

Created. - http://bit.ly/DDLCreated

A music search/recommendation engine built in React and using third-party APIs. Developed with a partner in a hackathon challenge at General Assembly on the Web Development Immersive course. We were given two days to make something using React, using any publicly available APIs we could get access to. This project makes use of the Musixmatch and Last.fm APIs.

Project CD - http://bit.ly/DDLProjCD

A JavaScript game project inspired by Space Invaders. I was given 8 days to develop a simple game using HTML, CSS and JavaScript/jQuery as my first project at General Assembly during my time in their Web Development Immersive course. I utilised HTML5 audio and CSS animations to make the game a bit more dynamic.

PewPewPew - http://bit.ly/PewPewPew13

An online store for vaping devices, refills and accessories. Built on the Shopify platform using an existing theme with some customisations in CSS and Liquid(Ruby). The Shopify site is linked to a third-party POS system, Vend, for use in their physical store.
