This is a memory card game built with React.js. I used two primary components and built the game logic. The game demonstrates my ability to plan modular portions of code and incorporate logic that is changed through state. The theme of this game is literary giants, who have helped me to think more critically.

I've worked as a Senior Technical Writer for an API gateway company, where I worked as a solo writer on their API client product. I built a fully accessible Jekyll site for the API client documentation and open sourced it on GitHub.
Previously, I was an API Technical Writer for a highly-reputable telecom company in the Los Angeles area. I completely re-wrote their documentation, which involved me knowing the ins-and-outs of the API. I was also the sole developer on a React Native app for the telecom company. The app uses Python, Flask, MySQL, SQLAlchemy, and the company API. The goal of the app is to show the usability and applicability of the API.
I'm especially aware of the need for clear documentation, having used a lot of it myself. Bad documentation, no matter how good the product, can deter people. My goal is to make it very easy for developers to jump right into building.
