Collab-a-comic is a website application that helps comic book writers and artists find a collaboration partner. When creating a comic, you'll need two key skills: being a good writer and artist. However, it is difficult to be proficient in these two skills: you can be a good artist but lack writing skills or vice-versa you can be a great writer but not a great artist. This is where I got the idea for the site: to help artists find writers and to help writers find artists to create their comic.
The website was created through ruby on rails for the front-end and PostgreSQL for the backend. Although I used this stack on LFG, the group project that I worked on, I chose Rails/PostgreSQL to show that I can create a ruby on rails project on my own.
Persona Gamer is a personality test application catered towards RPG gamers. This was the first full-stack web application that I ever created. For the front-end, I used HTML, CSS, Javascript and jQuery. For the back-end, I used MongoDB.
When I first started building the application, I integrated traitify's API. However, I found that their were certain restrictions of the API. In the end, I removed the API from the site and replaced it with personality tests rewritten in jQuery and vanilla javascript.
Project Sakura is a yelp-like application to help users find japanese music events in their area. The app is built in React.js and Redux combined with two external API's: Google Maps and SoundCloud. As of right now, the app only has a front-end but I will integrate a backend to it in the future. I was the sole developer and designer for this project. I also created the svg illustrations via Adobe Illustrator.
I created this application because as a japanese music fan, I found it difficult to find a reliable japanese music event application on the web. Although there are a few sites that have japanese music event listings such as Facebook and small blogs, there is no reliable application out there that maintains this data. This is why I developed Project Sakura, an application that is frequently up-to-date with the latest japanese music events, all in one application. From a design perspective, I wanted to create something visually appealing. Because I love creating vector graphics and Adobe Illustrator, I decided to make the majority of the site in SVG graphics.
SJNOC is a non-profit organization that helps spread awareness of the Japanese American civil rights. Currently I am working on integrating a payment system using Stripe API, express.js and node.js.
Seanronimo.com is a website project that I've developed for a client, who is currently working as an interaction designer at Google. I implemented Javascript and jQuery to create some of the dynamic implementations of the site.
LFG is a social networking portal targeted towards gamers. Members will be able to form meet up groups for a specific game. I collaborated with three other group members to create a website built from Ruby on Rails. On the back-end, I worked on routings, authorizations, validations and seeded data while on the front-end, I worked on CSS stylings and some design work.
Squaddie is a web application to help companies create software engineering teams through personaility tests. Using traitify's api and a complex algorithm, employers are able to assign specific employees into certain groups.
This application was built during the API World 2016 Hackathon. I collaborated with 4 other people to build this app. My responsibilities included: explaining the functionality of the API (since I had prior knowledge of it on a previous app), wireframing, building the website interface and launching the site on a web server. The application won the 2nd place sponsor winner award from Traitify.
At Facebook, I was the front-end developer for the GMS Hub. I developed, designed and managed more than one hundred microsites used for sales enablement purposes.
