Heap

Heap is an online marketplace aimed at providing industry specific tweaks for metal traders and processors. First conceived of as a mobile project, it was adjusted to fit the demands of a web-based capstone and offers most of its functionality through widgets on the main page.

Mortar is a clone of airbnb and my first fullstack development project. Simply put, it books stays at user-created spots, correctly handling errors with booking conflicts and implementing the Flatpickr dependency to disallow selection of booked dates.

About

I am Brian Johnson

Competent, level-headed, curious.

I'm a software engineer. I have experience with Python, Javascript, SQL, Cassandra, React + React Native as well as a host of other dependencies and frameworks. I've owned and operated a metals brokerage for over 15 years and cultivated my skills in client relations, sales, logistics, strategic planning, accounting and marketing in that time. In changing fields I hope to repurpose that toolkit to become a stronger developer.

I speak conversational Spanish and basic Mandarin Chinese, actively learning both. I'm passionate about the process of bringing ideas to life with code and enjoy developing creative solutions to complex problems. I spend most of my time coding but some of my other interests are travel, world culture, sports and literature. I would love to work for a company that gave me a chance to work abroad or with international colleagues.

Favorite Tools:

  • React
