PROJECTS

Custom Brew: As an avid homebrewer, I created a site where users can choose a beer based on their preference in color, bitterness, and alcohol-by-volume using dynamic sliders for each category. Depending on the configuration of the sliders, the algorithm I created uses the Pythagorean theorem to narrow their choice down that most closely matches their preferences. The collection of beers is programmed using MongoDB, while the main functionality of the site is driven by Angular 2 (RC5), Express, Node.js, TypeScript, and JavaScript, HTML / CSS.

The Code is Right: Our team developed an interactive tool called The Code is Right, based on the popular game show, The Price is Right, whereby the user is presented with one snippet of code at a time and they are expected to drag and drop that snippet into one of three buckets (CSS, HTML, or JavaScript). A collection of code snippets was stored in MongoDB, with JSON acting as primary transmitted from server to front end, along with JavaScript, Node.js, HTML, CSS, and Express. github.com/rohernan76/trtl

AmoMiColombia.com: As a freelancer web developer, my target customers are small businesses who either require a website to conduct their business or are in need of an overhaul for an existing website. AmoMiColombia.com is a website I am developing from scratch that, largely developed in WordPress, is designed to host images of various products that the entrepreneur is currently selling. The e-commerce component drives the main functionality of the site. I am also learning PHP such that I can modify the boilerplate templates and plugins that don’t provide all of the functionality that the website demands. Using Sketch, I provided the client with a wireframe and with her feedback started to develop the MVP. The current working functionality of the site includes creating an account for a new user, logging in, maintaining a history of favorites, and tracking purchasing history. This website is pointed to my server on DigitalOcean.
