My projects

Sight Word Practice

I built a simple React app to help my kids practice their sight words for school. This is basically a digital version of good ol’ flashcards. You have the ability to select different levels/sets of sight words, sort or randomize your list, and select different subsets of the list for extra practice. The app will also read the word aloud if the child needs some help 🙋‍♂️

Dashboard

This is another React app that will show your weather and calendar for the next 5 days. It uses Google sign in (currently just set up for me) to get calendar events and OpenWeatherMap to get the weather forecast. I had an extra monitor lying around and wanted to display a dashboard/hub for my to-dos. I’m planning on also integrating Trello in the future.

Workout Log

I’m also building a workout logging app with Angular in my spare time. It’s really just a simple app for me to be able to log workouts without having to use any of the highly-specialized, pre-programmed workout apps that are out there. I used a PHP + MySQL backend to bring it to life because it seemed really quick (and cheap). I’m really interested in checking out node.js, so I’ll probably swap out the API to use that eventually. I also never update my browser.
