The quest to build a better tool is something many developers can identify with. Mine was Schema Designer. I love visual schema but online tools are lacking key features. So I set out to make my own. I felt bad about not just contributing to a particular open source project, but I needed more than just a fancy frontend. Future goals include authoring a gem integration which allows spinning up a new rails app from the command line with models and migrations generated based on designed schema, as well as a Github integration allowing a user to import schema directly from an existing repo. This project isn’t complete, but it represents what I’m doing now so it deserves top billing here.

A simple tool that addresses a big problem among developers, many bugs are generated due to some disconnect between what they think something is and the actual value. This gem adds a highly visual and informative wrapper to variable inspection. Also great for seeing a particular line was executed from the console. By invoking the method without an argument you get a line of random emoji’s as output.

Needed a place: to let you know a smidge or so about me, a place I can practice a bit, and a metric by which to measure my progress moving forward. Viola! Three birds, multiple bytes. Looking back on it years later, I'm still happy with it, though I do cringe when I see the production console scroll by. Who uses that many P statements?!?

The Idea here was to crowd-source orders large blocks of baby items to drive down costs. Think build a virtual warehouse instead of build a bear. I came on very early but lost faith in the pitch once more implementation details came to light and decided to go in a different direction.

React Rails

Emergency clone of a student superlative voting system. Built in a day (during my spare time), because it had to be. Users login and see a list of peers. Add a slogan for that person or up/down vote existing slogans. At graduation we read off the slogans while introducing each student. Lots of fun ones like, ‘Most likely to say, “I’m sure we can solve this algorithm… with more boba tea”’ or ‘Most likely to hulk smash their desk when reading errors’. A quick and functional mobile first MVP, this provides a great example of getting it done when the chips are down. You can log in as me and give it a shot but you won’t be able to see my slogans because current user can’t see their own. It’s supposed to be a surprise! Email: tom@tom.com PW: tomtom

Rails React

Yes the screen shot is blank. No I don't have access to the old data. It *was* the first thing you see when you walk in the DBC lobby. Integrating several internal systems to render cards for upcoming events and provide tracking of multiple levels of staff onsite. Project has seen significant iteration as data sources and needs changed over time. Originally built with Rails and the rails-react gem. Later rebuilt fully decoupled using Rails / React ahead of a drastic change in API sources. Current data sourced via Google Sheets / Calendar, Deputy and Meetup API’s.
