shack is a solution to help roommates live harmoniously together. Create a roommate agreement for your household and easily access the agreement details through your dashboard instead of looking up various PDFs and emails. Users also have the option to create household-wide notes, for those times when a post-it on the fridge isn’t enough.

This was my capstone project for Lighthouse Labs’ web development bootcamp. It was built in 2 weeks remotely due to the COVID-19 lockdown procedures. The front-end is built with React + Typescript and Chakra UI for our component library. The back-end is built with PostgreSQL and an API-only Ruby on Rails backend. The roommate agreement PDF is hosted on S3 and served through Cloudfront.

What I did:

• In a team of two, planned and created the database schema and migrations
• Designed and built the responsive dashboard front-end
• Built and implemented the multi-step form for the roommate agreement generator using Formik and React Router
• Implemented roommate agreement PDF generator with wicked_pdf generator, S3 and Cloudfront
• Built and implemented Notes feature

Aura West Makeup Artistry is Sydney Feddema’s portfolio that showcases her work and talent. For this project, I was tasked with making Sydney’s portfolio more device agnostic, finishing her WordPress theme to incorporate a blog and taking care of the other details such as image optimization and tackling browser quirks. As this was a revamp of an almost finished website, I collaborated with Kathryn Shannon, the designer of the portfolio, to make sure that her vision of the site was achieved.

The site was already using Underscores and Advanced Custom Fields, but to improve the layout, I decided to use Susy as my grid system. This made the whole portfolio look more cohesive and definitely more mobile friendly. In addition, I used Susy’s gallery() mixin to better display her portfolio across numerous devices.
