About
I learned the value of working as part of a team and pushing myself while in the Navy. Drawing on my diverse background as a geologist, Navy veteran, and world explorer I create professional and well designed projects. My passion for science and exploration has led me along the path from geologist to software engineer. It has been a childhood dream to become a software engineer, and I am excited to finally be on this journey. I am a devoted life long learner with a growth mindset who is always eager for the challenge of the next mountain to climb.See My Resume

Projects
brewQuery
My first project. A single page website that displays basic brewery info and a brewery map. The user can search a database of breweries in the United States and bring up it up on map with a link to the breweries website (if available). The search feature will allow the user to search for breweries using a zip code, brewery name, or city/state. Built entirely with Javascript, CSS, and HTML
The Wrapper
wrapper is a cigar review and tracking app that will allow users to discuss, learn about, and discover new cigars. It allows users to post reviews of cigars, add tasting notes and ratings, revisit past reviews (and update them), and search the database for specific reviews based on cigar name or by author. The app is put together with React.js and uses an Airtable database as the back-end.
Habanero's Market
A full-stack mock online marketplace app for hot sauce enthusiasts, and built by a team of hot sauce enthusiasts. Once they create and account, users can create, read, edit, and delete hot sauces on the marketplace, as well as browse the cataloge and view details about each sauce. The front-end is built using React.js, with Express and MongoDB providing the back-end functionality.
Mineralopedia
Mineralopedia is a (soon to be fully searchable) database of common minerals and their properties that will act as a guide to proper identification and as a reference. Users will be able to register an account that will allow them to add minerals to favorites and add, edit, and delete comments. Constructed with React.js on a RESTful API utilizing Ruby on Rails and PostgreSQL.
