Hi, I'm Scott. I build digital products in NYC.
Take a look at some of my work below.
React | D3 | CSS
Inspired by a bad neighbor, I designed and developed this app to check if you're living in a building with a person who makes baseless 311 complaints to the city of NY. It uses React and D3 to visualize NYC Open Data, and filters out everything but complaints where the police found no evidence of wrongdoing.
React | Ruby on Rails | PostgreSQL | SCSS
Brazillian Jiujitsu is a fun and fast-growing sport, but it can be a bit
overwhelming for newcomers. I built TrainingPartner to help people new to the game keep track of
techniques
as they learn them, and log information on training sessions to see their progress as the weeks go by.
The app uses a Ruby-on-Rails backend for its RESTful API, and stores user data in a PostgreSQL database.
The UI is built in React using class-based components.
React | Express | MongoDB | SCSS
This was a fun project. As part of my General Assembly software engineering
immersive, I was placed on a team of 5 developers and 3 UX designers tasked to reimagine FreshDirect's
website. I primarily worked on the admin system with one other developer, which has full CRUD
functionality and user authentication, built in Express and MongoDB, with a React interface. I also
contributed to the styling of the customer site, building out a hamburger menu using the react-burger
library and styling individual product listings, among others.
Note: Due to time restrictions, my team was only able to style the mobile version of
the customer-facing site, with limited functionality. For the best experience, please check it on a
mobile device or in the
chrome inspector > iphone.
React | CSS
Oblique Solutions, co-created by Brian Eno (get it?), is a card set that offers vague but thought-provoking advice designed to help musicians overcome challenges during writing and recording. Leveraging the oblique solutions API and Lorem Picsum, I built an app using React (with Hooks) that pairs text from a random card with calming grayscale imagery, and allows the user to muse on how the advice applies to their current situation. It offers users a chance to have a one-way conversation with themselves to find perspective. It's bit like rubber-ducky coding for songwriters, and is surprisingly meditative in practice.
HTML | CSS | Vanilla JS
This project is near and dear to me because it's the first thing I ever built
in
JavaScript. It's a simple quiz game where the user can guess which characters spoke a series of quotes
from Breaking Bad (and Better Call Saul).
Note: The API severely limits calls to the server, so the end result can be a bit
finnicky.
