RunCreator Database

RunCreator Database Web

JavaScript, PHP, MySQL

RunCreator is a dynamic, database-driven website that provides access to the custom routes entered onto RunCreator Mobile, an iOS running app I also designed.

Vocalize Home Screen Vocalize Fillers Screen

Vocalize Mobile

Swift, Objective-C, iOS SDK

Vocalize is an app that records your speeches to get a summary list of the different filler words you’re using. Using words such as “umm”, “uhh”, and “like” during a speech can be completely distracting to an audience and cause you to lose credibility, but sometimes you don’t even realize that you’re using them. Vocalize will help you practice your speeches so that you can become a more effective speaker and deliver presentations filler word free.

SCRAPS

SCRAPS (with Recipes Node API) Web

Laravel (PHP), JavaScript, Node API, Eloquent, SQLite

Whenever we find ourselves left with a random combination of leftover ingredients in the fridge, we then have to figure out what we could possibly make out of them. SCRAPS is an app that searches through a database of online recipes to match ingredients, so we can try out new recipes while successfully clearing out the fridge at the same time. Signed-in users have the ability to create, read, update, and delete any of their own recipes, as well as any reviews they leave on other recipes.
