Your website is the center of your digital ecosystem, like a brick and mortar location, the
experience matters once a customer enters, just as much as the perception they have of you
before they walk through the door.

Is your web presence working for you?
Does your website represent your brand and business?
In this increasingly digital world, a responsive & accessible
website is essential to communicating your brand.
Responsivity
A responsive design means that your website looks exactly how you want it to look regardless
of the viewing device. 63% of Google searches in 2019 in the US originated from a mobile
device (Merkleinc, 2019). It is more important than ever to have a website that can
automatically adjust for different screen sizes and viewports.
Accessibility
Having an accessible website to support social inclusion should be a number one priority.
This can be achieved through curating accessible code coupled with simple and effective
design. Having an accessible website benefits everyone and championing this can help enhance
your brand, improve your search engine optimization and extend your market reach.

Projects
secret missions
A party game app where players compete against each other to complete 'secret missions'. The mobile-first UI, built with React and Tailwind allows for easy gameplay on any device. The app also utilizes Socket.IO for real-time communication and syncing between players, which adds a dynamic and competitive element to the game. This app utilizes MongoDB to store missions and (eventually) categorize missions to adapt the game to player's environments, ensuring a new and exciting experience every time you play.
Doodlebook is a fully responsive social media that lets users upload doodles and browse others on the community doodlebook. Users are able to like, comment and add doodles to their inspiration board. UI created with a mobile first approach with JavaScript, HTML, EJS, Node, Express, MongoDB, Mongoose, and Tailwind. User authenticated with Passport and passwords encrypted with bcrypt. Users stored in a MongoDB database and images stored on Cloudinary utilizing Multer to upload. This application was built using MVC architecture.
BreatheEZ is an app that helps users quit smoking by allowing them to create an account and track their daily smoke cessation streak. It also provides health benefit facts according to the user's daily progress, tracks the user's mood and craving levels, and directs the user to a game page when high anxiety levels are detected through a questionary. The app was built as part of a Health and Wellness Hackathon using JavaScript, HTML, EJS, Node, Express, MongoDB, Mongoose and Tailwind. The development team worked in an AGILE way, and the users log in with Passport auth and track their daily habit, moods, and non-smoking streaks which are displayed via Chart.js.

A Node.js app using the Twitter and Genius API to Tweet random lyrics of artist Rexx Life Raj. A song is chosen at random and the URL of that song is generated, the HTML is scraped to acquire the lyrics using Cheerio and converted to text. The text is then parsed to remove any lyrics that are by another artist and two lines (in succession) are chosen at random and Tweeted. The Tweets are automated daily using CronJob.
A fully responsive JavaScript web application variant of the popular game Wordle. The board is made in-situ using JavaScript and words are selected randomly from an external words.js array. Wordle uses keyup event listeners to allow keyboard input and logic to determine letters that match the randomly selected word. A countdown timer was implemented depending on which time selected and will countdown. Progression to the next level occurs when the right answer is obtained. Wordle matches each word input to the words.js array and if the word is not present then a modal pops up saying that the word is not in the list. This modal was created using a CSS library called Toastr. Using ChartJS and local storage stats of Wordle are retained and shown in the form of a bar chart. This shows highschores for each mode alongside how many guesses it took for each level.
A fully responsive web application that calls a cocktail API using an asynchronous fetch function that displays cocktail information after a search is performed. Users can then cycle through an array of cocktails that match that search parameter. Entry into the cocktail app requires a password and allows entry based on a conditional.

Players have the ability to hit which uses a 'draw card' end point, or players can stand.

Upon player or dealer bust the game ends.

I am a chemistry masters graduate that discovered a passion for software engineering during a
programming module as part of my degree. Upon originally learning Python due to the data analysis
and visualization strengths of the language, I found my interest in web development starting to grow
and I began to learn HTML/CSS & Javascript. I am motivated by curiosity and a passion to seek new
challenges. As a web developer, my goal is to help bring creative projects to life. I build sleek,
reliable websites that connect brands to their customers with accessibility and social inclusion at
the forefront.
When I am not chin deep in my computer, you will find me indulging in one of my many various hobbies.
I love to play poker, particularly mixed games such as 8-game and HORSE with my favorite variants
being 2-7 Triple Draw Lowball and Razz. I am also a video game and sports enthusiast, but I think my
main passion outside of developing is discovering new places to eat and drink.
