Projects

Project 1 of 3: Portfolio

My most recent project is...this page! This portfolio was made with Next.js, React, and Tailwind CSS as well as framer motion. Next.js was chosen to enable static generation to increase the speed of the site render. Tailwind and Framer Motion were chosen for the ability to quickly test and create smooth and performant UI components!

Project 2 of 3: Foodscape

An attempt by four developers to solve the eternal "what should we eat?" question. The project aims to increase the speed at which one can compare multiple restaurant options by extending the functionality of a map, rendering extra information on the map itself, without the need to open individual cards. Made with Mapbox, React, Yelp API and Material UI.

Project 3 of 3: Snowflakes

A photography portfolio site for two! This project began as a way for us to increase our skill and understanding of the technologies used, namely: Firebase, Material UI, and ReactJS!
