About Me

Shows Around is a web app that allows users to see when a band they like is playing in their city. The app was born out of a frustration of trying to keep up with tour dates from bands I actually liked without haveing to fill out yet another profile on another service. Using information from Spotify, a service most people are alreayd using, the app can give you a curated list of events based on your tastes. Built with and AngularJS frontend and Firebase backend, the app allows users to log into Spotify using OAuth2 protocols and retreive a list of their top 50 played artists. That list is then run agains the BandInTown API to get a list of tour dates. The user can then filter by city to see when those bands are playing near them.

Git Gumble is an app developed as part of a groupin a 24 hour period at the Nashville Software School Alumni Hackathon. It is a tinder-esque follow-or-not mobile app that lets users decide whether or not they wish to follow a user on github based solely on their number of commits over the last year. Utilizing a powerful prototyping application called Framer, the app was built using Coffeescript. The app grabs user data from Githubs API and uses Firebase as backend storage for app data.
