Projects
- Designed a normalized application state by employing Active Record Associations among the board, list, card, and comment models and by using JBuilder to output all lists, cards, and comments associated to a board
- Applied React-Beautiful-Dnd for a drag and drop feature, and reflected re-ordering of lists and cards made in the frontend to persist in the backend by updating the list and card order arrays with Ajax requests
- Implemented AWS S3 Hosting for users to post, update, and display their profile pictures in React and secured the access to the database by using the Rails encryption pattern to protect the keys and credentials
Dorello

- Coordinated with three other team members and used feature branch Git workflow to simultaneously create different features for the application
- Architected the recipe feature by utilizing Axios requests, allowing users to create, read, update, and delete (CRUD) a recipe, and connected the application to MongoDB using mongoose to store all data
- Installed additional API routes with Express.js for the Like model, retrieved all likes associated with a recipe id, and displayed the number of likes on its show page
