About Me

Hi there, I'm Andy! In 2022 I left my ten year career as a manufacturing engineer to drive the Pan American Highway alongside my amazing wife (check out our Instagram to learn more). After only three months of our travels I started to get antsy; my mind needed something to do and there was only so much perfecting of our cost tracking spreadsheet I could do. I decided to look for a passion that had the potential to turn into location independent work after our trip. After a bit of searching, a friend of mine suggested I take a look at both CS50 and The Odin Project (thanks Ryan!) and here I am! If you'd like to get in touch with me to collaborate on a project or three feel free to scroll to the bottom of the page for my contact info.

homepage for a massage business in Mexico City

Business Homepage

This was my first in depth project utilizing webpack. It was a lot of fun to work on, so much so that I had to be reminded to take breaks to eat!

battleship game part way through

Battleship Game

This is a Battleship game written in JavaScript, HTML, and CSS. It was my first project that utilized Jest tests and I found them to be helpful.

to-do list app

To-Do List

This project is my take on a simple to-do list. In doing this project I got some hands-on learning for long-term browser storage as well as storing values to, and retrieving them from, JSON.

tic tac toe game

Tic-Tac-Toe Game

This was my first project using factory functions. It took longer to click for me that I would've thought and was a huge relief when it finally did.

virtual library collection

Library Application

My first project using JavaScript objects was this virtual library application. It was fun to build and I also enjoyed spending some time on designing the color scheme.

admin dashboard project

Admin Dashboard

Learning CSS grids was a game changer for me. The dashboard that I built for this project was the first time I really got to play with combining grid and flexbox; it was a blast!

signup form

Signup Form

This is probably the project I refer back to the most when I need to remember something. It is a pretty simple form but I'd given myself the added challenge of making it work on mobile, without media queries, as well.

simple calculator app

Calculator App

This is a simple calculator application, one of the first projects I ever built with JavaScript.

etch-a-sketch app

Etch-A-Sketch

Simple Etch-A-Sketch app that uses mouse cursor hover or finger drag to simulate the effect of an Etch-A-Sketch.

rock paper scissors game

Rock Paper Scissors

Looking back on this application that I built 15 months ago makes me really excited to see where I'll be in another 15 months! I remember it being quite a challenge to get the game logic just right.
