About Me
Hey y'all! My name's Kaiser, as you may have figured out from the giant letters on the
front page. I'm a full-stack developer with experience in React, HTML, and CSS
on the front end, and NodeJS/Express, SQL, and MongoDB/Mongoose on the back end, as well as some experience dabbling in Python and Flask.
In my free time I like playing D&D and video games with friends, doing puzzles, and building
model sets, and aside from the D&D, programming is kinda like all those things combined,
so it seems like a pretty sweet gig eh?
I've been studying and programming on and off for over two years now, and have worked
on a number of projects, some examples of which you can see in the project tab. Please don't
hesitate to send me a line and chat!
Read my resume!
Projects
This is an adventure game played between Lambda School students. The idea is to go around an island, picking up treasure and selling it at a shop in order to earn enough money to buy the ability to mine Lambda Coins through a similar process to cryptocurrency mining.
Primarily played through API requests, my teammates and I built code to automatically traverse and log the map, pick up treasure, and sell it at a shop. We built a basic app for player interactivity.
I built out the player and world data structure, as well as made the auto-movement code. I also built the initial server and routes for our app.
Web app to help with work/team productivity.
It's an anonymous feedback tool, where members can create or join a team
and send anonymous feedback messages to teammates to facilitate personal
and professional growth without needing to feel concern over social or personal stigma.
I worked full-stack, building prototype front-end components, fixing bugs,
and creating routes for the API. I also planned and co-ran standups and worked to manage
team progress over our 3 month build period. Built using React, Semantic UI, and HTML/CSS
on the front-end, and NodeJS/Express and MongoDB on the back-end.
Web app designed to allow people to create and share dad jokes. Users can sign up and
create dad jokes, as well as save favorited jokes to their account.
I worked primarily on the back-end, building the server structure, routes, and database
with a teammate over the course of a 2 week period. Built using NodeJS/Express and Postgres.
Prototype MVP of a lifestyle / personal improvement app. Designed to allow people to list
aspects of their personal lives, such as fitness, food, hobbies, etc. and score them in order
to log over time how well they're doing and where they need improvement.
Worked with a partner to quickly design skeleton of front-end using React and HTML/CSS part-time
over 2 weeks.
