Projects

1.

Shop Spero

I build a website from the ground up with React and Chakra to open a virtual store showcasing Christian-themed merchandise as part of the remote marketing & sales solutions in response to COVID-19. I used React Router for navigation and React Hooks for specific component logic such as the image carousel on the landing page.

Demo

2.

Kalenda.io

I used React, Typescript, and Next.js to collaborate with other Berkeley developers and build a platform for planning remote team meetings. I implemented functionality and design of the landing pages, referral pages, and modular components build using Storybook, as well as implmeneting a feature for email suggestion for event invites.

Demo

3.

Pathfinding Visualizer

I created a site that helps the user understand pathfinding algorithms through visualization. This project allows for selecting different pathfinding algorithms (such as Dikstra's, A*, BFS, DFS, and Greedy), setting the start and end points, and creating walls through click and drag to replicate obstacles.
