George McGowan

I'm a recent Makers Academy graduate with a passion for problem solving and coding. I'm looking for a role in web development with an experienced team to help me develop my skills and kickstart my career in software.

Skills

Ruby

During my time at Makers, I developed multiple applications in Ruby and Rails. My most impressive acheivements were:

  • Igniteit - a site for crowdfunding community projects, developed on Rails
  • Gymbuddy - a site to find people who go to your gym to be your buddy, also developed using rails

Javascript

The applications above include javascript on the front end, however I have also developed some applications solely in JS. I used node to run the backend in these applications:

  • Clothes Shop - a challenge to make a demo clothes shop. I choose to use AngularJS for this.
  • Bowling Challenge - primarily backend javascript implementation of a bowling scoring system.
  • ToDo Challenge - a little experiment in task management, using Node and Angular. Primarily front-end.
