My work

My focus on this project was to improve the functionality and design provided in of the Scrimba - Frontend Developer Career Path module.

Movie-db API React App

React JS RestAPI CSS HTML

I decided to build an application for searching for movies. I implemented the search function inside a React component that is updating a variable through useState hook. The project uses React components to separate different sections of the card. I have also used React Hooks such as useState, useEffect for preserving data throughout the app and RestAPI for retrieving movies.

Famous Cat Facts

JS Cat Facts API Geolocation Web API OpenWeatherMap API Chrome Extension CSS HTML

I have created a Chrome Extension dashboard since I love cats and, I wanted to make something practical while using Chrome for browsing. Hence the idea of putting a few details that I would like to see when I open a new tab, such as interesting cat facts, current time and current weather based on my location. The project uses Rest API to retrieve cat facts, background image and retrieve weather info from OpenWeatherMap API. I have also used Geolocation Web Api to retrieve user coordonates.
