About me
Hello! My name is Mick, and I create art, apps, wesbites, and games using code.
My love for programming began when I was introduced to MatLab while getting my degree in Aerospace Engineering. Between my assignments and studying, I often found myself working on personal projects, such as a Sudoku app, Mandelbrot Zoom, and more. After graduating, I continued to pursue my interest in software, taking a post-graduate course in Data Science and learning to build simple static sites.
Currently, my focus is on web development, where I spend my free time learning new frameworks and experimenting with unique UI designs. I often look for ways to encourage engagement by pushing the boundaries between interactivity and accessibility.
Through my education and professional experience, I have found that I thrive in problem-solving. The more complex the problem, the harder I work to solve it. I love to learn new concepts, designs, and architectures and use this knowledge to continually improve myself as a software engineer.
Thank you for visiting my portfolio, and I hope you enjoy browsing and interacting with
my projects.

Chatbot Widget
Frontend, backend, and database was built by me. The widget has 3 main features: the helpcenter, the internal messenger, and of course, the chatbot. The widget collects the user's credentials and loads in their data from the database. The backend makes an API call to get access to the NLP and knowledgebase, returns the access token to the frontend, and initializes the help center and chatbot.

Reddit Comment Search
Built for my partner to collect data for a research project for her PhD. It makes use of the Reddit API to select a subreddit and the pullpush.io API to get comments containing the query phrase. The web app has multiple key features: creating and adding tags to results, highlighting text, writing notes for each result, bookmarking, and creating folders to store results. Database schema was built to be relational using foreign key references.
