Totally Not Instagram
Instagram

Built With

Instagram. Or is it ..? Totally Not Instagram features many of the same features as Instragram, notably missing Stories, and Messaging. This was my first large scale React project. It required multiple refactors, and a deep dive into using git efficiently.

I built the frontend and backend, learning React Query, Express.js, MongoDB, Passport.js and so many more technologies just for this project. I learned so much from the mistakes I made here to take with me in the future.

Totally Not Battleship
Battleship

Built With

This is a rendition of the classic game Battleship, with extra functionality inspired by the Steam version. Inspired by retro style arcade games and Made entirely in vanilla HTML, CSS and JavaScript, it showcases my ability to make and consistently improve complex web apps.

This project was a challenge initially as the functionality was rather complicated compared to what I was used to. I learned git more in-depth to effectively manage adding new features.

Weather

Built With

This is a classic Weather App using the OneOpenWeather API to fetch data and display weather from around the world. Data is displayed daily and hourly.

This was my first time using Fetch API to get data from a 3rd party server. While the app is not too complicated, updating the data lines by line after new data is fetched gave me a solid understanding of React.js's use cases.
