I like to build cool things.
Even if it's just a small project, building the thing better helps me understand how it works. I could just read documentation on new tech but why not incorporate it into a node server or something to see how it works in a use-case?
Here's some apps I built myself:
And some projects I developed with a team:

Code for Good West Michigan's Weekend For Good is a fantastic event that I volunteer for every year. It's a weekend-long event where a bunch of us nerds meet with various non-profits to see how we can help them from a technological viewpoint. It's a lot of fun and I truly wish it happened more than once a year.
This year, I had the pleasure of working with the Grand Rapids African American Health Institute (GRAAHI) to minimize their content into an intuitive user journey for Sickle Cell Anemia.
In 2022, I to helped Lighthouse Immigrant Advocates build a full-stack application proof of concept (In a weekend!). The app included Twilio (notification service), Next.js (front-end), Google Calendar integration, and an Express API to communicate the services.
