Working with two other very talented developers, I entered a winning project into the Bloomington Civic Code Challenge at The Combine 2018. The project was built in React with Google Maps and Google Places APIs and meant to be a "drop in" widget on the city of Bloomington website. The app allows users to report maintenance issues to the city. We also built a GraphQL wrapper for the open311 API that the city uses to receive reports.

This project was something I worked on to teach myself how to setup GraphQL with Node.js. Petfinder has a service to query their database of adoptable pets via a REST API. I exposed this API via GraphQL, allowing for the data to be returned in a much cleaner format that allows for the consumer to specifically request the data that they would like to use. I had this running on AWS, but it was costing me money so I have since taken it down. The link below will show the source code of the project.

I live in Indianapolis with my best friend and partner Chloe and our 3 dogs: Pablo, Nym, and Bibi. Alongside my passion for technology, I enjoy exploring the outdoors on foot or by bike. My best ideas come to me when I am out in nature, so I try to spend as much time as I can outside. I love fantasy and science fiction and am often found with my nose in a book.
