Hey, I'm Jay, a(n) -- engineer --. Currently a Full Stack Developer for Pitt Technology Group. I was formerly a developer at Frontier Media and a Team Lead at Lambda School.
I love writing clean, semantic code that is accessible to all. Technology drives me and I love creating scalable solutions to connect the old world to the new. As a developer, I am always looking to learn, try new things, and push the boundaries of what I know. I strive to be the best I can be and have my work reflect the passion I feel for software development.
I🖌️ paint🎨, hike🚵♂️, and 🏋️♂️lift weights in the meantime, while also enjoying hanging out with my doggo, Scout🐕🦺.
This is a solo project that was built in preparation to teach and showcase React for my students (and others who are interested). The frontend has a specific focus on state management with hooks and react-router. The backend was made with Node.js as a simple backpack inventory management system, as well as a favorites storage for your favorite pokemon. User login/registry is present with JWT Authentication. Pagination for the following -- pokemon, moves, items, types, abilities, locations, and machines. Search forms for the following -- pokemon, moves, items, types, abilities, locations, and machines.
