About Me

I'm a Full Stack Engineer with past work experience as a Product Owner. I have years of experience in Product Strategy and Development, learning from users and how to build a user-friendly product. I wanted to do more of the building myself and decided to become a full-stack engineer. I enjoy learning new and better ways to do things and then applying those skills to see an idea come to reality.

Projects

Task App

Task App

Created this app to re-familiarize myself with React outside of Next.js. It was also my first time using the combination of Vite, Supabase, and Vercel Serverless Functions. I've used NextJS where Vercel serverless is built-in and had previously used Express for a project, but wanted to see how Serverless Functions compared. I used Supabase as the database as well as the Authenticator. The app utilizes Supabase's Anonymous Sign-in and saves the users session. This allows the user to only interact with their own tasks as long as their own the same device and don't clear their cache. As someone always looking for the ideal task/productivity app, this feels like a project I'll continue to build on and hopefully become my go-to task app.

Small Group

Small Group

I created this project for our church small group. I wanted to have a centralized source of information instead of having to rely on Google Sheets, calendars, and emails. I built the project with NextJS, TailwindCSS, and Supabase for both the database and authentication. This project contains features such as: adding, editing, and deleting events; and, authentication logic that will show mock data for a user that is not authenticated. This last feature allows me to demo the site while still keeping our groups information secure.
