Fun Stuff

In order to make myself stand out as a candidate early in my career, and to fight for more equitable pay, I built fun themed resume applications and other things.

Here are a few of my favorites, along with other things I've built in my free time.

Starbucks Origins

I built this app because I had never written anything in React and the job I was applying for was to lead a team building a React application, which is now the Starbucks ordering app. I thought it would be fun to tell the story of Starbuck.starbucks-origins.herokuapp.com →

League of Legends Resume

I built this because I am terrible at live coding and white boarding interviews. My goal was to showcase my abilities in an environment that was comfortable for me, while highlighting skillsets that don't typically come up during software engineering interviews.cherstewart-riot.herokuapp.com →

World of Warcraft Resume

Heroes of the Storm Clicker Game

I built this to set myself apart from other applicants since I had only a couple of resume items, no college degree, but a ton of passion and potential that I struggled to communicate in the typical interview setting.hotf.herokuapp.com →

Spotify API Nuxt.js Tutorial

I built this to write a fun tutorial I was commissioned to write for Smashing Magazine.smashingmagazine.com →

Star Wars Film App

I built this as part of my interview process for Seattle Cancer Care Alliance. The task was to use the IMDB api to display information. I made it a little more fun than that!cher-star-wars.herokuapp.com →

Github Repository Search App

I built this as part of my interview process for Netflix. The task was to use the Github API to display an organization's repositories. I tried to make it fun and break-proof.github-search-dev-test.herokuapp.com →
