DESSRT
Eat socially

Based on Untappd, DESSRT is a single page fullstack web application that allows dessert lovers to share their favorite sweets! I used Ruby on Rails and PostgreSQL to create the backend, and React-Redux to build the frontend of this delicious social networking app. Enjoy!

Slugs & Dinos

Slugs & Dinos is a browser based interactive game inspired by Bejeweled. Built with JavaScript and jQuery, this game allows you to manipulate DOM elements via drag and drop event handlers. Matches are calculated using jQuery to compare the inner HTML of adjacent elements. Score as many points as you can before the timer runs out!

Skills

Why software engineering

After graduating from Williams College and gaining six years of professional experience in education, fine arts, and translation, I decided to channel my passion for problem solving and design into a career as a software engineer.

I use my training in the arts and master's degree in special education as sources of inspiration when building software. I love to transform abstract ideas into visually appealing products that are fun to use and easily accessible.

When I'm not writing code you can find me cycling in upstate NY, checking out new restaurants in the city, or reading the latest Stephen King novel.
