I'm Joe Tavinor and I'm currently working towards becoming a professional dev. My main focus is on Front-End development using React, but I also create API's for my projects using Node with express. I am a self-taught programmer, and have completed multiple courses on Udemy and CodewithMosh. My main focus now is completing projects to improve my existing skills, as well as incrementally adding new abilities to my tech-stack.
I have completed multiple projects, usually adding new libraries and skills with each one. These are my favourite two projects:
This is a demo takeaway app I made and deployed for my local area using React. I also used Redux for the first time, and after initially finding it quite confusing, I now love being able to store and access all state in a central store, as well as using Redux middleware to handle all API requests. The backend was built using Node with Express and MongoDB.
A game where users have 3 lives or 90 seconds to score as much as possible by guessing an associated word for each prompt given (Words and associated words got via a 3rd party API). I added some cool features such as the ability to create an account, where you could delete scores from the leaderboard as well as seeing answers for any words you got wrong. Front-end made with React. Back-end made using Node with Express and MongoDB.
A chance to become a proffesional developer! My main interest lies in Front-End development, but I do have skills in building out RESTful API's, so am also willing to explore going down a Full-stack route.
