Hello! My name is James and I am a full-stack software engineer based in New York City.
I began my career as an elementary school teacher in the South Bronx. After looking for a more technical position, I became a Credit Risk Analyst where I found my passion for coding during one of projects.
Most recently, I graduated from Fullstack Academy, a 17-week long immersive coding bootcamp, where I learned the core components for full stack JavaScript web development through pair programming and team projects.
I am passionate about both building & problem-solving and am looking to extend this passion as a full time software engineer.

Projects
Don't Skip Leg Day (DSLD)
A workout companion that tracks a user's squat form through computer vision, providing coaching through real-time feedback. DSLD powers its visuals with PoseNet.js , tracking and displaying a user's body throughout an exercise. The front end was built with React.js and stylized-components, with a light-weight back end leveraging Firestore's NoSQL cloud databasee. Additionally, it was built as a progressive web application to provide compatibility for a wide range of devices, desktop or mobile.
Stackafour
Stackafour is a webapp implementation of Connect4, built with D3.js and custom game logic. Developed during a weekend hackathon, it combines algorithms with the rendering and styling capabilities of D3 to create a dynamic game board.
Pan to Pan (P2P)
P2P is a food blog I coded while learning basic web development on my own. It is coded with basic HTML/CSS/JavaScript and houses pictures of food that I either made myself or enjoyed while traveling!
