Small solo projects that I have worked on. While some are designed with
practical functionality in mind, the majority serve as an avenue for learning
of any given language or framework. I've explored a diverse range of languages
and frameworks, with a particular emphasis on leveraging Astro and React for
frontend development, complemented by TailwindCSS for styling, and Firebase
for a serverless backend and database integration.

I've recently ventured into freelancing, crafting websites for local
businesses in Windsor, Ontario. Thus far, I have exclusively used WordPress
and design each site with the Spectra Page Builder. This journey into
freelancing has given me invaluable insights into domains, web hosting, and
more, enriching my expertise in the field.

During my time at Digital Media, I held the role of a full-stack developer
overseeing a variety of websites, mainly tailored for local businesses. Our
projects were predominantly built on the LAMP stack or React, utilizing PHP
for backend functionality and MySQL for databases. While my code remains
private, we used an in-house PHP framework for the majority of our non-React
websites. The items listed below are only a small fraction of the number of
projects I was involved in.
