Small React app built for mobile phone screens using a fashion API. With search functionality and lazy loading images (react-lazyload package).
Here are the four projects I completed as part of the Software Engineering Immersive Course at General Assembly.
The Software Engineering Immersive is a 3 month course focused on front-end, backend and full stack web development, in particular JavaScript and React. I attended daily lectures, stand-ups and completed homework assignments in the evening. I worked in a variety of ways: in groups, individually and pair-coding.

For the final project I was keen to work on my own to test my knowledge and challenge myself to work through errors and unfamiliar territory. ‘Carousel Collective’ is an app for a prospective fashion rental company. I used Django with Python for the backend and React (Hooks) on the front end to allow users to register, log-in, browse items and add them to a basket or wishlist.
Group (4 People) | 8 Days
Myself and a group of 3 others designed and built a MERN stack app that allows the user to search for international festivals, login, save festivals and view information about the festivals and artists performing. I was largely responsible for the index page - listing the festivals and the ability to filter them based on country, price, and artist. I also contributed to building the backend, seeding the data, logo design and CSS. This project was good practise in using Git successfully as a team.
Pair-Programming | 2 Days
‘Star Trumps’ is a game in which the player can view a ‘Top Trumps’ card and click on a category to beat the opponent card. This was a time sensitive project so my partner and I pair coded most of the functionality together. We used a Star Wars API for the Star Ships information, then compared the data for win, lose and draw logic.

This project was my first experience of coding an entire project with JavaScript from planning a wireframe to online deployment. I built a game of ‘frogger’ (but with a snail) based on a JavaScript grid, using vanilla JavaScript, HTML and CSS. I also designed the imagery myself using Procreate on an iPad.
