This is, of course, my portfolio website. Outside of the standard front-end stack, I used SCSS to style my code. This served as my first project I created with the intentions of going live with it.
Some Key Takeaways
- SCSS First time using SCSS to write more organized & maintainable code.
- Layouts Strengthened my familiarity with CSS layouts & display properties.
- DOM Manipulation Built upon my JS knowledge & ability to interact with DOM.
Care Corner is an Android application that served as the senior team project for my CS degree. This prototype served as my team's proof of concept for our application designed to increase the user's safety

This is a basic Web Developer Portfolio. This is written in HTML, CSS & JS. This project strengthened my understanding of code structure & use. In the end, it ultimately became a sandbox for me to experiment in.
Some Key Takeaways
- Code Structure & Application Provided me perspective for how I would approach future projects was gained by observing how this was structured, why it was written a certain way, & the logic behind the decisions.
- Responsive Design: Media queries were used to approach how the page is displayed on varying screen sizes. A lot was gained by viewing how these attributes altered the appearance & layout of the page.
