Software Engineering

Here are three of the technical projects I completed while enrolled in Flatiron School’s Software Engineering Flex program.

Paint N’ Pin – Github

Social Media app designed for artists to connect and share their technical studies

• Harnessed the power of ActiveRecord to build a flexible database with powerful associated data
• Used browser sessions cookies and BCrypt gem to store hashed user password data to verify user login credentials
• Utilized Google Maps API to store location based art studies and display them in the context of a real world map
• Incorporated ActiveStorage for storing and attaching images to posts, allowing users to upload images directly

Take a Hike – Github

Review site that allows users to rank and review their favorite hiking trails

• Authorize users such that only logged in users can post and edit their own hikes
• Use many-to-many associations to save data to database and send requested data to the frontend
• Create custom routes using Rails to define pathways for requesting specific data
• Ensure app is fully CRUD capable for user hike posts

Cover Lover – Github

Digital repository where people can upload cover songs performed by artists of other artists’ songs

• Use Sinatra to build a lightweight database for storing associated song, artist, and cover data
• Handle nested, interconnected data to account for artists having many songs, songs having many covers, covers having many artists, etc.
• Utilize design sensibilities and CSS to add a fresh, fun look to the site
