My Portfolio
Spotify Clone
A full fledged Spotify music player clone built with React/Redux. After logging in to your Spotify account you will be directed to a homepage where you can browse, like, and save new music. Created with the Spotify API which gives us info on songs, artists, albums, and playlists. The API only gives out 30 second song previews, but it can still be very useful for finding new music that you'd like to save to your account.
BentonDev Portfolio
The website you are currently on! Gatsby seems to be very prevelant across the React community at the moment so I figured it would be worth learning and fun diving into. This is my first project built with Gatsby and I learned a lot about the infastructure of a Gatsby site. I also had fun creating parallax effect animations. This project was all about having fun while learning new technologies.
eStore
A complete up and running template for an online clothing store. Makes use of the Stripe API to charge credit cards for payments. Firebase handles user authentication and cart items are saved to the Firestore. This is just a template for now as it only uses the test version of the Stripe API, but can easily be converted into a real online store by switching versions of the API.
About Me
When I'm not working on projects or courses my free time is spent exploring new beaches along the coast, going on hikes, reading blog articles, and cooking up tasty new recipes.
In the future, I plan on becoming a senior full stack web developer and working on projects that can help improve the lives of others.
