About
I'm a software developer and graduate from the Turing School of Software and Design.
Before attending the Turing School, I worked in customer service and pursued an education in Computer Science.
I'm a lifelong learner who loves exploring new technologies, problem solving, and mentoring others.
Outside of programming I enjoy playing games with friends and immersing myself in a good history book.

The project consists of two seperate applications, an Ember.js front end application, and a back end Rails 5 API

Commissionrableio
A pair project built for Trelora, a flat free real estate company. The purpose was to build a website where users can view real estate commissions on homes for sale in the Denver area.
Upon creating account, users can view a google map of the Denver area with markers representing houses for sale. Clicking on a marker reveals information about the house with a link to a show page where the user can see more information.
My focus on this project was creating an api endpoint for the homes data, and creating the google maps page to consume that API and draw markers on the map based on the data received, along with filtering those markers using JQuery. I also created a background worker to handle processing an uploaded CSV file for admin users

Black Thursday
A pair project where a partner and I implemented a rudimentary form of active record in ruby
The project pulls in large amounts of data from CSV files and maps them to ruby objects, establishes relationships between them, and performs business intelligence queries on the objects.
A pair project where we implemented an http server in ruby using the ruby http library. Users can play a number guessing game or look up the definitions of words.
