After completing General Assembly's Web Development Immersive program, I have built a good foundation for a future career as a web developer. The 12-week, full-time course covered Full-Stack web development that included languages: Javascript, Ruby, HTML, CSS, Angular.js, Shell, and Git.
Frameworks: Node, Ruby on Rails and other databases: SQL, PostgreSQL, Sequelize
During the course I had the opportunity to build three projects:
Loopbird:
Using the Twilio API this web application receives and stores text messages from users with links to articles or videos. It then sends the text messages back to the users at a later time when it is more convenient for them to read/watch it. This was a full stack solo project, from concept to development and deployment to Heroku.
Technologies: JavaScript, Node.js, Sequelize, Express, Postgres, Twilio API

CleanSpeech:
This web application records a user's voice, then parses it and produces a report on usage of filler words (such as "hmm", "like") with the objective of helping the user improve their public speaking skills. This was a product of a team collaboration in which I played primarily the role of the UX designer and front-end developer.
Technologies: Ruby, JavaScript, Node.js, jQuery/AJAX, Postgres, Google Speech API
bepicky:
This web application allows users to create a list of restaurants serving their favorite dishes, regardless of restaurant style or cuisine. The lists are then saved to the user's account. This was a full stack solo project, from concept to development.
Technologies: JavaScript, Node.js, Express, Sequelize, Postgres, Yelp API, HTML, CSS
