Hi, I'm Navin. I'm a fullstack developer based in Los Angeles

I am a dedicated software developer and recent graduate of the Full Stack Software Development school at Thinkful. I also have a background in finance and accounting as well. I am proficient in front end and back end development using React.js, Node.js, Express.js and PostgreSQL as well as testing frameworks such as Mocha and Chai.

My interests outside of coding include fitness, sports, reading about new advances in artificial intelligence, and enjoying the beautiful beaches of Southern California. I am an avid learner who is always looking to expand my knowledge of anything in the tech and coding world!

Projects

• Title: Steelers Quiz App


• Description: Interactive quiz on the Pittsburgh Steelers football team where users can answer 10 multiple choice questions and receive a final score at the end and can choose to retake the quiz. I built this app as my first submission to my portofolio because it highlights what I have learned so far in regards to HTML, CSS and JavaScript. Go Steelers!

• Title: Educator Locator


• Description: Web app that allows users to search elementary, middle, and high schools as well as colleges and universities in a given area. Users are allowed to search by city and state. Once user has searched a given location, they are given chance to start a new search of a new area and new education level. I built this app to demonstrate my ability to use an API to fetch external data and display it to the DOM.

• Title: Doggy Dialogue


• Description: Doggy Dialogue is a forum for dog lovers to ask and answer any questions related to dogs. Users are required to register for a user name and password and once signed up and logged in, can make new posts and reply to existing posts from other users. Users are also given the opportunity to edit or delete any posts or replies they have previously created. This is my first full stack app I've created and the main purpose behind it was to demonstrate my ability to develop a server and database which I can connect to a front end client which I built as well. My client was deployed with Zeit and my server and database were deployed to Heroku.

• Title: Cocktail Critic


• Description: App that allows users to create a user name and password to login and search for popular alcoholic drinks and leave reviews and ratings. Users can choose to view a list of their own reviews in their profile page or can view other users reviews in the posted reviews page. I decided to build this app to showcase my ability implement a third part AJAX request into a full stack app that I created using React, Node/Express.js and PostgreSQL. I also thought it would be a fun idea as I'm sure everyone has ordered a drink they wanted to make sure they did or didn't order a second time.
