Glasenator’s Board Game Collection was an exploratory project to test out the abilities of GitHub coPilot (aka “vibe coding”). My own personal board game collection data was pulled using boardgamegeek.com’s free API and hosted on a basic node server on Heroku. Users are able to sort and filter the list and click on individual entires to get more information about each game.

Grow is a simple browser based video game. Use the arrow keys to move a rain drop. Water the grass below you while avoiding birds. Grow was originally made solely using d3.js but has since been updated to rely solely on HTML5 Canvas features.

BackScratch was a prototyped native mobile app that provided a social networking platform for users to trade skills and services within their local community. Built with React-Native, backScratch handles a potentially cumbersome application state by using Redux to create an immutable state for easy scalability. On the back-end backScratch utilizes a neo4j graph database in order to oversee user interaction.

Foodigi is a prototype web app for mobile devices that directs users to the nearest restaurant that serves their desired food. Built using Facebook's javascript framework, React, foodigi utilizes your phone's internal compass and gyroscope to render a native HTML compass component. The compass will then dynamically point to the closest restaurant by pulling proximity based results form YELP.

BORED? was a local event aggregator that populated itself from various New Orleans based event and news feeds. The web app also allowed for users to sign in with Facebook authentication and add their own events to the main feed.

Evacuspot Locator was a proposed addition to a web application built by the City of New Orleans that assists the community during hurricane evacuations. This proposed feature aggregates official city evacuation locations and displays route directions along with vital hurricane information. This feature was built at Open Source NOLA Hackathon 2016 and won 1st prize. The concept was then incorporated into the official City of New Orleans web site later that year.
