Coding for Fun!
Why I Know Programming is For Me
Even in my free time, between work, schooling and codecademy courses, I still find myself working on personal development projects. Whether it's updating this portfolio website, learning a new language, a new framework or building a new application, I simply love to create. Programming gives me the tools to endlessly create but also benefit from the hard work of others before me. My programming professor in high school gave a quote I love to this day, "Good programmers write good code. Great programmers borrow great code!" It's perfectly said, there is so much widely available to learn from and experiment with. My love for continual self-improvement and personal projects helps me keep up to date with current technologies.
This website!
This is my first, completely on my own developed website! I was able to write some cool javascript functions and CSS for different feautres of the website. One I am particularly fond of is the skill highlighting, if you haven't noticed by now you can hover over my skills in the large rectangles and highlight their specific information in the paragraphs. The skill search bar on the homepage was another fun way to provide a general list of skills and help navigate the website. Git was used for version control as well.

Budgit
Budgit is a React budgeting app that takes incomes and expenses and determines your weekly and monthly budgets. Budgit will incorporate living expenses and savings calculations to make sure you are maximizing on your income. Currently is still a work in progress. In the future, I would like to incorporate Plaid API for connecting bank accounts to the app so that the budgeting calculations are fully automated. Currently using Git for version control.
