My Work

Charlotte Knights

Technologies: Leverages Flask for the web framework, Jinja2 for templating, Bootstrap for styling and layout, and the requests library for interacting with the PokeAPI.
Home Page: Lists all Pokémon, along with an image of them. It then dynamically renders these Pokémon within a grid layout, attempting to group them by evolution line.
Pokémon Details Page: Upon user selection of a Pokémon, detailed information from the PokeAPI is displayed.
Search Functionality: A dedicated route handles form submissions from the search bar, processes the input, and redirects to the appropriate Pokemon's details page.

Worked with the Charlotte Knights to create an application for them during a practicum I had in school.

Working with Figma, I would be able to get exactly what you are looking for in the application into production

Maze

Created a maze generator game using a depth first search.
The game allows you to choose how big the maze to be. You then use your arrow keys to move around.

Travel Budget

Travel Budget Planning App: A web app built to help users calculate travel expenses based on selected locations, providing real-time suggestions for common expenses like transportation and accommodation.
Dynamic Expense Management: Users can add, edit, and delete individual expenses with a running total displayed, making it easy to track costs during trip planning.
Responsive & Modern Design: Styled with CSS to ensure a user-friendly experience on both desktop and mobile devices, with adjustments for smaller screens through media queries.
