Gavin Schriver

Aspiring software developer. Accomplished dabbler in other things.

Details, please

I've been involved in web development on and off for about seven years. I started as a content developer for startups in Austin and Chicago, then began teaching myself web basics to understand what people were doing with all those fancy word I wrote.

After learning HTML and CSS out of a book that I'm pretty sure was called "HTML and CSS", I made a handful of Wordpress sites for friends and friends of friends, along with Squarespace designs for local small businesses. I've recently begun to pursue development (much) more seriously, having attended Nashville Software School as a part of Day Cohort 42. All areas of modern web development fascinate me, from front-end bells and whistles to CI/CD architecture.

Projects

"Where It Hurts" Full-Stack Capstone Project

This full-stack project features a React client application built using functional components that was served by an Django API.

The goal of the app is to allow a flexible way to keep track of all sport-related injuries and your rehab attempts. It features plenty of sorting and filtering options to find just the treatments that are right for what ails you.

"News Hounds" Publishing Platform

A multi-week, full stack group sprint at NSS. The client was a React application served by an API we wrote first in vanilla Python, then reworked as a Django project using the popular Django REST Framework.

Our team's self-defined learning goals included gaining a deeper understanding of the Django ORM (my new best friend although I still love you SQL, promise), as well as filtering and serialization options for database results.

"Who He Play For?" Front-End Capstone Project

A wet n' wild dive into the world of React, state management, fake APIs and the async jungle. And basketball. This project mutated from a simple social media chat idea into a schadenfreude-fueled romp of trash-talking and random player assignment, reflecting the capricious nature of today's NBA stars and fans alike.

My biggest goal with this project was to interact with multiple external sources of data, and boy did I. One could say they interacted with me as well. Feel free to poke around, with the fair warning that this project was designed with a mobile-last mentality, which I hope to revise soon.
