Experience

Forkestrate

https://www.forkestrate.com/
Forkestrate is a web-based cooking assistant that turns traditional recipes into clear, step-by-step interactive roadmaps, making them easier and more efficient to follow. It lets users import recipes from other sites, generate custom recipes from prompts, organize their favorites, and order ingredients with one-click grocery shopping.

I’m building it alongside a couple of friends, and I’m leading the React Native mobile app development. The app is nearing release and will offer the same streamlined, interactive cooking experience across iOS and Android.

Portfolio Website

https://jessypouliot.ca/
My portfolio is more than a showcase. It’s a living technical playground. I built my CV directly in React and render it with ReactPDF, turning a traditional resume into a fully programmatic, maintainable document. The site also serves as a sandbox for experimenting with React Server Components and CMS integration with static generation, helping me sharpen performance, architecture, and content scalability skills in a real-world setting.
