This was a week's project for a job application to showcase my React.js skillset. The site displays information about movies with the word 'Super' in the title by querying the omdb api. It includes a modal window, accessibility provisions, a test suite, and is generally a good indicator of my Best React Practices. At time of writing, I'd use it as a base if I were to start a new react project tomorrow.
Worldwide Technology's customer wanted a virtual bazaar where creators could upload digital artifacts and sell them to other creators. Over the two years of this project, my responsibilities evolved from coding the React front end, to maintaining & securing infrastructure as a member of the DevOps team, to building the observability tools for launch day.

Little Ceasars engaged WWT to build their next generation cash registers, which synced data to Detroit HQ using Kafka. My team got to internationalize the front end and deal with issues around language, currency, and time.

ContraDB.com is a searchable database of contra dance choreography. It grew from an ambitious student project and is now a community resource with scores of users. Now up to 7 contributors and 2000 commits: it's a big project. My proudest feature is a point-and-click tool for combining search expressions through binary operators like 'and' and 'or'

Early in my life I went absolutely ham and built a 2D side-scrolling, multi-player video game for Linux: Copter Commander. It used OpenGL 1.5 and texture mapping for rotating sprites, had both co-op and competitive play, and an embedded level design language and a sort of custom Object Oriented language that facilitated information hiding to clients. Copter Commander was based on the classic games Rescue Raiders and Armor Alley.
