StreakBit was a proof of concept habit tracking webapp. It allowed users to set daily habits, then mark when they completed them. As the user built up streaks, they were awarded more and more points. The tag line was ‘turn streaks into habits’. This project was built in 2015 when Angular 1.x was at the height of its dominance. The stack for this app was Angular 1.x on the frontend with PHP as the backend running the CodeIgniter framework and MySql as the database solution.

Other than using the Semantic UI library all code is custom and built from the ground up for the client.

Wardrobe Library was a classroom library software that was built for my wife’s elementary classroom.

The stack for this software was Angular 1.x for the frontend with a REST API built in PHP using the Laravel framework for the backend and MySql as the database solution.

Each fall for the past 4 years I have taught a section of University 101 at the University of South Carolina. I wanted to give my students an easy place to find information about our class.

The frontend is Angular 1.x running on a NodeJS backend using ExpressJS with MongoDB as the database solution.

The stack is ReactJS for the frontend and a NodeJS backend running the ExpressJS framework.

The Grade Calculate mobile app gives you the power of GradeCalculate.com on your mobile device. This was my first step into mobile development, and it has been a very successful experience. A new version of the mobile app is currently in development to bring the same look and feel of GradeCalculate 3.0 to the mobile App. This app was built with the Ionic framework which utilizes Angular 1.x. The next version will use React Native.

Neville JS is a simple node CLI that cleans a list of emails from a CSV file. It checks to make sure there are not any blanks in the email field, no duplicates, and no emails that are in invalid formats. This is a program I open-sourced to do simple cleaning of email lists that were given to me in my job. These lists would often have several errors that added time to get my tasks done. I am in the process of developing a web client version to make it more accessible for all users.
