Projects

boggle Solver

React.js

Web app that generates and then solves a Boggle board, showing a list of all possible words present. It's also playable, making it essentially single-player Boggle.

Harry Potter Cryptograms

Web app that runs quotes from the Harry Potter novels through a letter-replacement algorithm and then you get to decipher them. Harder than it sounds.

Skills

Programming Languages & Tools

Interests

When not coding I can often be found hosting a board game night with friends or playing some video game on my Nintendo Switch. Such an amazing console. When not doing things inside, I'm likely out with any or all of our three large-ish dogs. Protip: dogs should never outnumber the people who live in your house. Especially if they're large dogs.

Aside from leisure activities, I really do love learning new skills and as such I spend a good deal of my free time learning about new programming languages or frameworks by watching courses on Udemy. I'm currently finishing up a React course and I have two courses waiting in the wings; one on algorithms and data structures, and another on node.js.
