More About Me

Hi! I'm a Software Developer located in St. Paul, MN

Every since I was little I have always enjoyed building things and solving problems. With coding I get to do that everyday!

I have an associate of applied science in software development from DCTC and along with self study have learned many things. I primarily work with JavaScript, in either React or Next.js, but have also learned and built a few things in C# and Python. I've also used a bit of PHP and first learned to code in Java. Being able to constantly learn new things is one of my favorite parts of programming.

When I'm not coding or learning I enjoy reading, playing video games with friends, and creating worlds and stories for my d&d campaigns.

  • Spotify API

This app uses the spotify api to allow users to create and edit their playlist in a clean and user friendly design. Users are able to add, organize, and delete tracks from their playlists while at the same time searching both spotify and their own playlists for tracks to add. Users can seach by track, artist or album to find the exact track they are looking for. User are also free to delete and create new playlists from within the app. All changes in the app will effect the users spotify playlists. Users are also able to add and manage a variety of tags on each tag. Users can select the color the the tag and the tag text and then reuse that tag throughout the playlist. If the user has Spotify Premium they are also able to play any song, from their playlist or while searching, directly from the app. They can then manage the state of play at the bottom of the app. A page with more details on how I built the app and its full features can be found here: PAGE LINK
