Full-Stack MERN application to manage recurring tasks without strict commitments. React frontend utilizing MaterialUI library with Express/Node backend. MongoDB data storage. Google OAuth2 provides authentication to access your data across multiple devices.

I built this app for personal use when I couldn't find a task manager that met my requirements.

Sometimes, we have recurring tasks which do not conform to specific dates. It's not a big deal if we forget to schedule a yearly maintenance checkup after 365 days. It's OK if our weekly vacuuming doesn't occur on Thursday every time. This minimalistic task reminder is not cluttered with dozens of menus or task refinement options. No scrolling through calendars. Simply choose when to begin a task (today? tomorrow? next week?) and how often to repeat it. Tasks are automatically sorted by a formula that takes into account due date and interval. For example, a daily task which you neglected is weighted higher than a yearly task overdue by a week.

Workout calendar web app to record daily and weekly progress. Front-end React app. State is saved to local storage. Responsive design adapts to desktop and mobile devices.

For years, I'd been making and erasing pencil checkmarks on the paper workout calendar included with the BeachBody T25 Gamma DVD set. Over time, the printout became too tattered to reuse, so I used CSS to replicate its design in this web app. Additionally, I used media queries to design a new responsive layout for mobile devices.

React front-end web app fetches data from a 3rd-party API.

I built this web app for a private client who was tired of tabbing in and out of the World of Warcraft video game to update their spreadsheets with the latest in-game raw material costs and finished-product prices. When a free, 3rd-party auction house API, NexusHub.co, became available, I saw this as an opportunity to streamline the process. The Alchemy Price Checker fetches all relevant data, calculates potential profit or loss (taking into account auction fees and RNG boosts), and sorts the results. Using this tool, a crafter can make informed decisions to maximize their profits.

* Note: NexusHub.co is now defunct, and the Alchemy Price Checker is no longer maintained.

As a freelance developmental editor, I collaborate with authors to shape their stories and bring their visions to life. My perspective as an avid reader of sci-fi and fantasy novels enables me to offer genre-based insights on early-draft manuscripts. First impressions, character analysis, story structure, and identification of plot holes and pacing issues are among the feedback I provide. Additionally, I can perform line-editing services to eliminate typos not caught by spellcheckers or AI, and make sentences more clear and concise.
