Projects
CrossFit Charleston needed a mobile-friendly redesign. I used Squarespace and incorporated custom CSS to get some features and looks that did not come out of the box with the template.
Pastor with No Answers is a podcast that needed a simple mobile-friendly website for directing listeners to. I chose to use Squarespace and added some custom CSS to achieve a clean look.
My Box is the final project app I built at The Iron Yard. It was created for CrossFit Athletes to track their fitness progress, create random workouts, and to locate CrossFit gyms. It was built using AngularJs and Firebase.
Simple TODO app using ForerunnerDB, a NoSQL In-Browser JavaScript Database.
Set List Pro was a group project some of my classmates and I built while at The Iron Yard. It is a webapp for musicians to find song chords and save them as setlists for music gigs.
