Flixter

Two-Sided Marketplace

Similar to platforms such as Udemy, this web app is based around user-generated video lessons. The two-sided format includes functionality based on differing user roles. Capacity for credit card processing and visually rearrangeable elements are also present.

Grammable

Test-Driven Development

Similar to Instagram, this app allows you to upload photos with captions, as well as post comments. Flixter was made using test-driven-development, a process where tests are created first, then the functionality next. Once code passes the test, it can be refactored. This process is repeated for every new feature.

To-Do: React On Rails

Single Page To-Do Application

This task-tracking app enables addition and modification of custom content by users, which persists via database. Ruby on Rails, for the back-end, and React, for the front-end, coexist inside a single application. A streamlined user interface keeps things simple, but also includes custom display options that will be remembered by your device for future sessions.
