Personal Projects
I believe that playing is the act of learning. My personal projects almost never see the light of day because they're usually the product of my playing around rather than building a finished product for others. At work I keep my code strictly professional, but on my own I love to run in the opposite direction of "industry best practices" to see if there's wisdom to be found where nobody else is looking.
My personal code is on GitHub if you're curious.
Axe Charts
I created Axe Charts to supplement the official stats website for IATF axe throwing. In addition to providing in-depth performance statistics for Premier axe throwers, the site also implements some key feature requests from the axe throwing community:
- Badges provide fun performance milestones to work toward while chasing down that elusive 81 score.
- The Axe Charts Rating (ACR) is an alternative rating system based on overall accuracy rather than wins and losses.
PubSubs
I made this simple page to display whether Publix Chicken Tender Subs are on sale. They're a local favorite item, and I thought it would be a fun little project that makes use of a publicly available API.
