Hello👋,
I'm Christian Valdez
California Based Developer
About Me
I am a full stack developer from San Diego, California. I earned my Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science from SDSU in 2018. There I learned core skills such as data structures, dynamic algorithms, and the complexities of operating systems. I learned the fundamentals of Object-oriented programming languages such as Javaand C++.
Meanwhile in school, I wanted to learn about web and mobile development however, there were no classes on those topics offered at my school. So I decided to teach myself. Starting with the basics of HTML, CSS, and Javascript, I quickly moved to Jquery and Bootstrap. For the backend, I initially started learning PHP and MySQL.
Portfolio
My Portfolio!
This very website you're on right now! Oringinally I built it with just html, css, and some js, but later I converted it over to a VueJS project. However I wanted to benefit from SEO and be able to still quickly modify components of my Portfolio, so I decided to convert it to a Gatsby site instead. I also setup a Github Action that builds and deploys my portfolio when I push changes to my main branch.
Coffee Tracker
A Coffee Tracker app made with React that utilizes the Yelp API to fetch coffee places based on a given location and help you find the best coffe shop near you. The user can see their rating, and address to the restaurant/cafe. It utilizes Netlify serverless functions in order to talk to the Yelp API.
Ice Cream BMS
This buisness management website was created as part of a school project. It was first built with Bootstrap, PHP, and MySQL, it featured crud operations on various tables and custom validation. It was hosted on a DigitalOcean droplet using Nginx as it's web server. Recently I converted it over to be a React app using firebase as it's backend and hosted on Netlify.
