Hi, my name is Travis!
I’m a creative and passionate full stack developer with an enthusiasm for using code to better the lives of everyone around me!
BIO
I am a web developer and recent graduate of Thinkful’s Full Stack program. I have a strong desire to work on a team with great developers who will challenge me every day and make me a better programmer!
I have a drive and passion that are unmatched and I see problems as challenges that can be overcome and transformed into amazing and reusable solutions.
My favorite aspect of full stack development is using JavaScript and its various frameworks to create the actual functionality behind each project or application.
With that said, I also dedicate a lot of work into styling my apps and making them look just right, and I thrive on receiving constructive feedback from my peers and senior developers.
PROJECTS
Rock N' Roll Quiz App
This application presents the user with 10 rock trivia questions. It provides feedback for each question (right or wrong), increments the question number and score accordingly, and then displays the overall results.
The visual design of the application is based around bright, eye-catching colors with notable music legends Jimi Hendrix and Eric Clapton. The fonts are large and easy to read in contrast to the colorful background. The idea for this app is to keep it simple and make the controls as user friendly as possible.
TasteFinder
Taste Finder is a fun and useful application that integrates the Tastedive and Youtube APIs to present recommendation information in a new and exciting way. Also my Uncle Danny designed the logo. Go Uncle!!
The UX is simple and relies on you to click a search tab: anything, books, authors, movies, music. Search for relevant content and the app will return recommendations.
Thoughtful
This application is an anonymous journal forum. It allows anyone to create a journal and then store entries within the journals. You can delete or edit your entries and view other user's content.
Thoughtful uses ReactJS, NodeJS, and the relational PostgreSQL DBMS. Within the NodeJS runtime using the Express Module, I've created a RESTful API that handles all CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) requests.
Catty Shack
Catty Shack is a social media site designed for felines from all over. In Catty Shack users can post meows, comments and like or unlike posts. These fickle felines can also update their bio, website, location and profile picture to see changes in real-time thanks to React State!
You can also click on another user's handle to see their unique profile information, as well as receive notifications from other cool cats that comment or like your meows! This application uses React, Node & PostgreSQL for its tech stack. It also focuses heavily on RESTful principles to ensure data and state are transferred and stored in the best manner. Also, it's the perfect app to share with your children!
