I created this Vanilla JavaScript click shooter following an online tutorial. While the tutorial was accelerated, it was a comprehensive introduction that showed me a lot about JavaScript. I took this as my first opportunity to take concepts I'd learned in Ruby, like arrays, functions, and methods, and apply that understanding to a project with a new language. After completing the tutorial, I added sound effects to improve the expierence. This was a really fun step because it gave me the chance to do research, while also getting to work with my friend and Sound Engineer from Show Love Records LLC, Adrian Knight. Being the first rendition as I plan to customize the 'enemies' and add movement to the player, all things I will continue to research and implement.

See it in ActionWhile compiling the website for FuzArc, I was able to lean on some of my prior work experience to help bring a concept to life. Working with a client was fun and added some perspective to the development process. I was able to start with an HTML template and tailor that template to my needs. I thought this was great because it allowed me to create a professional product for an established business within a very reasonable amount of time. During the process, I took a deep dive into FontAwesome's documentation, where I found expanded icon options for my client. It was a lot of fun putting together a site for a fresh brand, and my client is happy too!
Visit the SiteThis is an application I put together out of personal need. Recently switching to the Nokia 2720V I found it difficult to get my GIF fix. The dilemma resulted in an application that is lite in style and serves the need. The page allows one to search for GIFs based on a keyword. There is also an option to visit an index of trending GIFs. The app uses Twillio to send the GIF in text message form to my cellphone. So using my phone's bare bones KAIos web browser I can select my gif and on click, the gif is text messaged to my phone. The text process converts the GIF to a file less than the 1.2mb media restriction. While this is not built to scale, it did solve a serious need for me personally.
