This week I started working on some applications that I could create in JavaScript and run in OBS while I stream. I decided to start with a simple countdown clock. Now, there are plenty of plugins or outside sources I could use to add these to my set up, but I figured it would beContinue reading “OBS Projects”

Deprecated
My aggravation is at an all time high right now! I have been attempting to troubleshoot a problem with my local environment with little to no success over the past 72 hours. I have a history with refusing to update software on my computer. I don’t enjoy change and I hate even more with thingsContinue reading “Deprecated”
Free Lance
I’m going to keep this blog for the week at little on the short side. As I type this there is a category 4 hurricane named Ida barreling down upon my hometown. Over the course of the past couple of weeks I have been watching a lot of youtube videos on how to break intoContinue reading “Free Lance”
2D Platformer
Over the last week or so I’ve begun working on some more passion related projects. It’s my goal to take my skills in coding/programming and use them for a career in game design. Right now, just as a bit of a fun challenge, I’m working on a 2d platformer built entirely in JavaScript. I figuredContinue reading “2D Platformer”
Rejection
its been six weeks since I formally began my job search after graduating from Flatiron. Six weeks of applying for developer positions with very little success. Most of the responses I receive back are just automated rejection notices. I did manage to successfully get one interview but the door to that job closed almost asContinue reading “Rejection”
Algorithms
Where do I start… Algorithms are kind of the bane of my existence right now. I’ve done a few technical interviews at this point and in every one so far, the major point of emphasis has been some form of algorithm. In my first it was one dealing with the Fibonacci sequence that I discussedContinue reading “Algorithms”
Hello Web Design!
I’m going to spend this time talking about a recent book I read called “Hello Web Design” by Tracy Osborn. I decided to pick up a few books to help with my coding journey in the spare time that I have away from a computer. This first book I chose was this one. In itContinue reading “Hello Web Design!”
Installing C++
My main focus for getting into coding/programming was game design. My goal is to create video games either independently or as part of a studio. I started my journey with Flatiron and learned web design utilizing languages like Ruby, and JavaScript. However the majority of game engines used throughout the industry such as Unreal orContinue reading “Installing C++”
The Fibonacci Sequence
I had my first technical interview a couple weeks ago. As the interview started, we introduced ourselves and immediately got into live coding. She asked me to write a code that would produce the nth number in the Fibonacci Sequence. I had recalled hearing those words at one point in my schooling. However, a refresherContinue reading “The Fibonacci Sequence”
The Job Search
Recently graduated from Flatiron School, my job search has began. Its intimidating and stressful. I’ve never been someone who handles rejection or failure well. Honestly the fear of such things has kept me from doing a lot of things in my life. In the past few weeks I have been bolstering my resume, creating aContinue reading “The Job Search”
