Featured Projects
Mentoree
An app for connecting mentors and mentees - connecting people and enabling growth. Created in a team of 6 over 4 weeks, this app is built in Next.js, with Firebase authentication. It utilises Next's built in API routes and a Postgres database, testing with Jest and Cypress, and ChakraUI for component styling. A lot of work went into this project in the planning phase, and we worked through the project using Agile methodolgies and workflows. You can read more about our process in the Github readme.

Repertoire Tracker
A system to track which pieces of a musician's repertoire have been performed over a given period of time. Created with Express, and utilising a Postgres database, the system is accessed from a vanilla JavaScript front-end which takes in user input and constructs the appropriate fetch requests from that inputted data. Visual design aims for a high-contrast dark mode aesthetic appropriate for live use on a dark stage.

Feedback form helper
An app to help fellow bootcamp students keep track of, fill out, and submit their twice-daily bootcamp feedback forms. The app improves the current workflow of this process whilst keeping the vital Google forms-based data collection tools used by coaching staff. My primary contributions to the project were in creating the back-end API with Express to query the PostgreSQL database.

Choropleth Map
A choropleth chart made with D3.js, visualising US educational attainment levels by county.
Drum Machine
A drum machine / sample pad app built with React class-based components. This features a volume slider, bank switch, and sample name display. Sounds can be triggered from the keyboard or by clicking on the corresponding pad on screen.
Briton Ferry Band Website
A website I made for Briton Ferry Silver Band, a brass band of which I've been a member of for nearly 25 years. The site was built with just HTML and CSS, is fully responsive, and features social media feeds, image carousel, and contact page with map.
