ZERO ISSUEclose

Have you ever wanted to be a super hero? Well, look no further than Zero Issue. This is a fun game that allows users to transform themselves into superheros. Our team created this beautiful, easy-to-use web application, which gave users the ability to take a picture with their mobile phone, and then add fun visual props such as capes, masks, and light sabers. They could then upload their photos to their desktop and create a comic strip to share with their friends and show their transformation.

The application was built using Rails, and utilized a client-server architechture. The web services were built and designed utilizing RESTful principles, and provided read and write access for both the Web and Mobile platforms.

LEETclose

Leet is a proof of concept web application for travelers. Leet lets travelers leverage their downtime during layovers to meet with friends or business associates who may also be in the same airport at that time. Users are allowed to register and create layovers, which can be viewed by other registered users. A logged-in user may view all current layovers, and meetups. If other overlapping layovers at a particular airport exist within a 2 hour window, a user can create a meetup. The app includes a very beautiful, easy-to-use interface, and includes functionality for email notifications. Future functionality will include integration with Linkedin api to allow users to login to the app using their Linkedin account and also search for other Leet users to create a meetup.

The application was built using Rails, and utilized a client-server architechture. The web services were built and designed utilizing RESTful principles, and provided read and write access for both the Web and Mobile platforms.

ABOUT ME

WHO I AM

I am a software developer with a background in business analysis and have worked as a technical BA for a number of years. I have a solid history of working on IT teams, and know the power of teamwork and am also well versed in software methodology. Most importantly, I am experienced in working with both the client and development teams. I know how to help the client articulate their needs so that those needs can be translated to the code.

Last May, I took the leap to software developer at The Iron Yard Atlanta. For 12-weeks I was fully immersed in the Rails Engineering course under the guidance of their very knowledgeable and capable instructors. From day 1, I was writing code and learning the key concepts and skills to become a successful Back-end engineer, and most importantly acquiring the key concepts and methods to think like a developer. I am a software engineer and I continue to learn new concepts and try new things to help me grow as developer. I am an eager student of my craft, and I love what I do.
