I am well versed in using Git version control and effective at designing and building webistes whether it be back-end or front-end. Throughout my years of study I have developed a strong passion for cloud development and architecture which has motivated me to aquire my AWS Solutions Architect certification. I often find myself in leadership positions and looking for ways to broaden my existing skillsets.

Joy of Painting Player Picture

This was a collaborative project built by me and two others in my class at Holberton and in collaboration with CymSTAR. It is a web based Instructor Operator Station that features a React Front End that manipulates and retrieves data from the backend over a web socket connection. The back end was made using a Rust web sokcet and it get and retrieves variables from memory, enabling the front end to control a flight simulation in near real time by laptops and tablets instead of a dedicated desktop computer.

The user can use the websites query on the top of the page to filter for your favorite Bob Ross episodes. The user can pick from the colors used in the episode, subject matter used, or even what season the episode was released in. In this project I used AWS to deploy it with a RDS MySQL database and using lambda and API Gateway to access the database from my front-end

Airbnb clone which taught me how to use many different technologies inlcuing Python, MySQL, and Flask. The project consists of a front-end using Jquery and JS for displaying stays. It was deployed with a backend which uses Python and a MySQL database

About this website

This website's front-end was made by using a combination of JavaScript, Jquery, and Bootstrap. The site also leverages a serverless backend built on AWS. To host my website I used S3 because I needed something simple with no dedicated server. Using a dedicated server is more costly and I would have to pay for it per hour. This way I only pay for what I need, which costs only $0.50 per month, so $6 a year. On top of that I use AWS CloudFront and ACM to be able to secure my website connection. The contact form and captcha both use an API built by API Gateway, and invoke Lambda functions to complete the job.
