Projects

Allo

Allo is an instant translation messaging app that receives and immediately translates messages to the user’s preferred language. When both users are active in a conversation Allo takes advantage of socket.io, updating the conversation with sent messages instantly for both parties. Open the app to create an account and search for my username, “gumballg” send me a message and I will reply back to you. Occasionally there is a delay on the intial load so patience is appreciated.

Legend of Link

Legend of Link was my first project built using only JavaScript. I grew up playing many iterations of Legend of Zelda and wanted to emulate it. This is a basic take of Link to the Past which lets you control and move Link around the map to dodge and attack enemies. Try to defeat all the enemies by swinging your sword at them and saving Hyrule from the evil Ganondorf.

Gregslist

Gregslist was created to be a more job oriented “craigslist”. This full-stack application was developed for users to create job postings, events, and upload their own résumé. Users can RSVP to events and connect with others by emailing through this application. Occasionally there is a delay on the intial load so patience is appreciated.

About

My Story

I am a recent graduate of General Assembly's Software Engineering Immersive Program. I currently live in the wonderful windy city of Chicago with my older brother Michael in the little neighborhood of Pilsen. When I'm not working on perfecting a doubled linked list, you can find me enjoying the beach, hiking through the forest preserves, or fighting for a chicken dinner in a battle royale video game. Having eight older siblings has taught me the importance of collaberation and teamwork and I believe that this skill set will benefit me while working with future development teams. I am excited to strengthen my skills through my projects and with the ever changing technology of Software Engineering.
