Projects

Twitterize - Full Stack Web App
React, HTML, CSS, Javascript, Node, Express, MongoDB, Mongoose, Twitter API

Twitterize is an app that allows users to organize their twitter favorites into categories. People often use favorites as a way to bookmark and save a tweet, which get lost in time due to the continous deluge of information on social media.

Twitterize is my solution to this problem by organizing favorites into easily accesible categories. This was my most challenging project to date and helped me learn the basics of reactjs and database storage using mongodb.

If you have no Twitter account, demo can be tried here


Note-Share - Full Stack Web App
React, Redux, HTML, SCSS, Javascript, Node, Express, MySQL

Note-share is a visual note taking and sharing app: most note apps use a text editor, which allows for a single large block of text but concepts (especially in programming) frequently involve many complex relationships best represented spatially and not through bullet points or paragraphs.

I had also recently taken courses on MySQL and redux and was itching to implement in a real-life project to cement my knowledge. This project allowed me to better grasp server-side programming through MySQL store of note positions and better understand state by comparing how react class-based components and redux global store utilize and save state.


Map-Twit - Full Stack Web App
HTML, CSS, Javascript, Node, Express, Google Maps API, Twitter API

'Map Twit' is a small app that I built to help me learn how to use nodeJS and connect to public APIs, in this case, the Google Maps and Twitter APIs. It allows a user to enter a screenname from twitter and see the physical locations (represented as blue twitter bird markers on the map) and proximity of either their followers, or the people they follow, given that the addresses are publicly available and accurate.

No twitter account required, but if you don't have a username to enter, try "combabalee" as a demo

About

I graduated recently in 2017 from Stony Brook University with a degree in biochemistry and am now a biochemistry major turned programmer. I initially began progamming as a hobby, taking a few online courses such as the notable CS50 course on edx, but soon developed a passion for the work as I learned more about the different subfields. I soon branched out into web development, learning the basics of backend and frontend technologies as I built projects just beyond my current abilities.
