Hello! I'm a self-taught programmer looking for my first developer job. Right now I primarily use Python/Django, and I'm comfortable with HTML/CSS/JavaScript and Bootstrap. I'm always working on learning something new. Right now, I'm building a project to learn Flask.
I spent the first 7 years of my professional career as a visual journalist, making maps and charts for newspapers. In this role, I found myself occassionally using Python and Javascript, igniting a passion for code that inspired me start seriously teaching myself the foundations of web development.
Additionally, I'm a hobbyist game designer, mostly using Pico 8, a retro-inspired engine that uses Lua. I'm particularly interested in procedural generation.
CharacterSheetBot is a Python-based Twitter bot that randomly generates a Dungeons and Dragons character, including name, stats, and backstory text. It then prints those stats onto an image of a D&D character sheet, and tweets it out. Github repo Twitter
MyCharacters.co is a Django web-app where users can create a character sheet and profile page for their D&D character, and create campaign groups to easily access the stats of multiple characters. Github repo Site
