Date Night App

The name of the app is called "Wheel Pick." A team-based project for class. I designed the framework of the application and the designation of the animated wheel spin. A mobile first-based app allowing a user to choose a dinner, movie or both. Dinner choices are pulled from an array of local restaurants. Movies are selected based on API calls from current showings and respective plots. The results are displayed after a wheel spin.

Interests

Apart from being a web engineer, I enjoy most of my time being outdoors. In the winter, I am an avid snowboarder and novice climber. During the warmer months here in Virginia, I enjoy mountain biking, rock climbing, and boxing.

When forced indoors, I watch a number of television series, I am an aspiring chef, and I spend a large amount of my free time exploring the latest advancements in block-chain technology.
