Turbo Fantasy Baseball

• Project that helps me draft and manage my dynasty fantasy baseball league
• Gets its data by scraping the fantasy site we use; it then uses the data to derive some additional values that I use in evaluating players
• Sometimes it's difficult to know what's "good" in fantasy. Comparing raw stats is difficult and time consuming, so I use a system that uses avg, std, etc.
• Doing it this way gives me a score for each player, for each category, for each time frame, so I can constantly know who is "hurting" or "helping" in each category
• On top of all of this, it's a pretty nice frontend which is mobile friendly, something that the fantasy app that the league is run on does not provide

DH Memorial Golf Tournament

• Built a nice react frontend website for my a golf tournament my brother in law's family puts on every year

• The backend supports all the day-of things for the tournament including check-ins and marking paid, and is hooked up to twilio api to make communicating with everyone simpler

Flickstr.io

• Web application that manages your personal movie collection, with the ability to add favorites, watchlist, whether you've seen or own the movies, etc.
• Connects to The Movie Database API for user-generated movie content
• Developed some cool features into this app where you can manage your collection, find new titles, etc.
• It's pretty smart about when to hit the API, and when it doesn't need to as it caches movie data in its' own database when it can, but doesn't allow info to get out of date
• Integrates with several oauth2 providers including github, twitter and google so this simple little site doesn't have to have complex authentication
