About

These are the projects, talks, and web profiles I'm proud of.

Projects

• Today I Learned

  TIL is an open-source project by Hashrocket that exists to catalogue the sharing & accumulation of knowledge as it happens day-to-day. Posts have a 200-word limit, and posting is open to any Rocketeer as well as selected friends of Hashrocket. The original Rails application was my Hashrocket apprentice project. We open sourced TIL in early 2016, and today I maintain the project with my fellow Rocketeers.

  Written in Elixir/Phoenix.

• Capybara::Webmock

  A gem that mocks external requests for Capybara JavaScript drivers. Co-written with Dillon Hafer.

• Capybara Driver Benchmarking

  This is the test app I built for a talk at Hashrocket's Summer Miniconf 2015. Its purpose is to benchmark the performance of the drivers available for use with Capybara.

• TypeScript Node Module Starter

  Kick off a new Node module, with TypeScript and Jest included.

• JavaScript Equality

  This application shows the JavaScript value-comparison operators == and === in action. It is written in React.js and TypeScript and inspired by the JavaScript Equality Table.

• Game of Life

  My implementation Conway's Game of Life in React.js and TypeScript.

• Opening Day Progress Bar

  A Gatsby React.js app that tracks how close we are to MLB Opening Day.

• Ceramic Nation

  A Markov Chain generated novel.

• Remarkovable

  A gem that produces Markov chain output from any text.
