COOKBOOK CLUB
React
Rails
PostgreSQL
Devise
Amazon S3
Render
When I noticed my cookbook club struggling with disjointed communication and scattered docs I identified friction points and built a full-stack web app to streamline planning and recipe sharing.

This app is powered by an API-Only Rails backend and a React fronted, with data persisted in a PostgreSQL database and images stored securely in an Amazon S3 bucket. Authenticate and user management are handled with Devise, and the app is deployed on Render.
PERSONAL SITE
TypeScript
Next.js
Vercel
A personal portfolio site to showcase my work, experiment with frontend techniques, and have fun learning more about web development. I also included a space to share things I’m thinking about and highlight my hobbies and interests outside of work.
INGREDIENT FINDER
Python
React
When I wanted an easier way to find recipes using ingredients I already had in my kitchen, I wrote a Python script to scrape data from my favorite recipe site and built a search feature that lets me search by ingredient, helping me plan meals and reduce food waste
