About Me
Born and raised in Miami, Florida. I went to college at the University of Florida, where I received my Bachelors degree in Computer Science. From there, I worked at a start-up in South Florida, Pixel Supply Co. After a year, I moved to Connecticut to work for the Worldwide Leader in Sports. In 2018, ESPN Technology was merged into Walt Disney Direct-to-Consumer & International where I got to work on frontend projects across all of our global brands. Now, as part of the News Team at Disney Entertainment and ESPN Product & Technology, I work as the release manager for ABC News and get to work on our local stations and Good Morning America.

Checkers
Created a checkers game in React.

  • Implemented a rudimentary AI for the CPU opponent
  • On piece hover, highlight possible moves
  • Can drag and drop to move
  • After reaching the end of the board that piece becomes a queen
  • Stats above the board show:
    • how much time has passed
    • whose turn it is
    • the amount of moves made by both players
  • Ability to undo the last move
  • Ability to restart the game
  • Stores current state in local storage, so nothing is lost on refresh or browser close
  • Display victory screen for the winner

Page Status Checker
Created a page status checker using the server-side programming language Go. Creates an api that hits each url in an array in parallel, and then returns the status code. On the front end I make the request to that api using fetch, and then color code the responses.

2018 World Cup Player Height Plot
Created a box and whisker chart comparing all of the players’ heights in the 2018 FIFA World Cup.

  • Used native ES6, no external libraries
  • Allow for switching between units of measurement (feet and cm)
  • Color code the players based on their country
  • On hovering over a point in the graph, show info about that player
  • Clicking on different stages of the tournament removes players whose teams were eliminated and re-calculates the box and whiskers
