I have 7 years of experience in the software engineering industry, primarily as a back-end web developer.

Portfolio

OpenAI FAQBot

An OpenAI powered Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)/ Chat bot. I leveraged Chat GPT to act as a virtual assistant for my wife's business. By creating an effective prompt and harvesting the power of Chat GPT, I'm able to save her time by answering a lot of common questions her clients may have about hair care, products, servicing, and pricing. This was a challenging yet fun project as I started off by creating my own class library until I found a suitable SDK.

Space Explorer 1983

A text-based game developed as a console application as a pair-programming project during my MSSA Cohort. The game was described as similar to "The Oregon Trail", except better, because me and Greg Wilson made it! 😜 You can find the repo and download the game by clicking on the title of this section.

TheManeAllure.com (with an OpenAI integrated assistant)

I built this website with HTML5 and CSS3 for my wife's business, as she is a hair colorist!💇🏽‍♀️💅🏽 I came up with the design and color scheme and put my front-end knowledge to the test after reading a book on front-end web development. I also integrated OpenAI api's to create a virtual assistant! You can navigate to the site and try it out by clicking on the title of this section.
