Experience
RiverDB (Database)
http://riverdb.surge.sh/A Sass project for an environmental organization focused on rivers. The cloud-based database and website track and display river science data and make it easily available to the public. The database includes a GraphQL back end and a data entry portal, which is not accessible to the public. It uses mapping and graphing technologies.
WatershedMap
https://wwsm2-react-github.vercel.app/An interactive website to calculate and display the watershed for any point in the lower 48, including river flow information, reservoir storage, and more. I created the website by using several public data sources, such as USGS and EPA, that have poor front-end implementations. Unfortunately, the main USGS API performance got degraded, resulting in longer wait times for some calculations.
Congress.Cards
https://congress.cards/A full-stack application to enable people to quickly and easily send physical postcards to their representatives in Washington, D.C. After entering an address, it pulls the current representatives from Google's Civic API and then interacts with other APIs to send emails and the physical postcards with custom artwork. At the same time, there is a small donation to an NGO connected with the cause.
