My Projects.
Tic Tac Toe
- Game (link)
- Source (link)
- A little tic tac toe game I made to practice the latest and greatest of ReactJS and redux.
- Served from S3 with Cloudflare as CDN. I've found better load times with Cloudfront in my tests, but Cloudflare has a better cost model and more features.
- Planning to make it multiplayer to get to know Amazon Lambda and DynamoDB.
Speed Crypto Miner
- Source (link)
- At the peak of the crypto bubble in early 2018, I built this miner to mine multiple coins based on their profitability.
- Built for GPU miners, not ASICs so may not be profitable anymore depending on your utility costs.
- Users can configure this to mine with Nicehash, zPool or add their own pool.
- Runs benchmarks on your machine to determine which miner will be fastest to use per coin/algorithm.
My Website
- Website (link)
- Source (link)
- This is the source code for this website!
- Working on writing more content to outline my skills and current projects. Also, working on SEO in general as the website is ranked very low.
- Planning to explore a static site generator, maybe Gatsby. Right now, I use React Snap to generate a static site on build.
Coduru
- Source (link)
- In college, some friends and I started a little company to help companies do a better job interviewing engineers.
- We built a product that allows candidates to code collaboratively in the browser with their interviewer, run/test their code and video/text chat while they do it.
- Took our project through Steve Blank's Lean Launchpad program, developing our business plan and pivoting several times. Deck (link)
- Decided not to pursue the start up post college because we didn't find a business model that would generate us sizable revenue.
