Summary

I'm a lifelong learner with a variety of interests including ReactJS, React Hooks, JavaScript, TypeScript, Node.js, GraphQL, and Python. I've written React and Node projects (https://github.com/dirkwiggley). In them you'll see a bunch of advanced features working together. In particular I have two projects that I use as a starter for a lot of the work I do, mui-base, and NodeSQLite. NodeSQLite is a Node backend app that uses a SQLite3 database so you can have a db up just by launching Node (no db config!). Then you can look at mui-base, which is a ReactJS front end using MUI (Material UI) with localization that interfaces with the Node app I just mentioned. The two projects combined use JSON web tokens for authentication along with decent encryption and SSL, CORS (Cross origin resource sharing), user creation/editing, database manipulation through a UI and a few other features that make them a great starting point for a full stack application. It's been a joy to work on these so far. Experience
