A web application that uses chart widgets, local storage, user interaction, and CSS Grid - all in one place!
This webpage was the first "from scratch" project I was able to work on. It was challenging at times, but it came together looking great.
My first try at using JSON and a local API to display some information about employees. It is simple and functional - no frills, just results.
An web style guide using SASS. This project was to get used to using SASS and to understand how it is useful in web development. The modular, organized approach really spoke to me and I will be using this technology much more in the future when appropriate.
A JavaScript based word guessing game that is similar to Hangman. Try the live demo and see if you can guess the phrase before you run out of lives!
My main side interest is learning C++ and game development. Although I am still very much a beginner, I have made a text-based tic tac toe game, ASCII-based adventure game, and a knock-off of Snake.
I learned the ins and outs of search engine optimization (SEO), Google Analytics, Google Tags, and rank and rent websites. I conducted keyword research, competitive analyses, built quality content, and created tags for analytics purposes.
I learned how to code in Liquid, created a custom section in a Shopify theme, and migrated products successfully from Squarespace.
I am a web developer and designer based on Vancouver Island, B.C. I create websites that are functional, easy to use, and look great on all screen sizes. I am a very hardworking individual that loves a challenge! I'm always learning and growing my skillset.
When I am not coding, I am often found learning about something new. I have recently finished some courses on subjects like Google Analytics and Tag Manager, SEO Foundations, and more. I have certificates available to view upon request.
When I am not learning or coding, there's a good chance you can find me blogging about what I just learned. I write about challenges, solutions, interesting code snippets, my approaches to problem solving, courses I have taken, and so much more! Lately I have been discussing topics like SEO and Shopify, but check out my blog to see what's new!
