Written By Myth is a custom blog site I made for a friend. I designed it with Figma and created the logo using Midjourney AI. It's built with React.js / Next.js and uses SASS for styling, and it's dynamic enough that my friend can write blog posts with Markdown and simply add them to the site - no coding skills needed.
Hi, I'm Jamie. I make web apps.
I've been doing this for six years now. I worked for 3 years at a small startup company and another 2 at a huge non-profit, and then I designed and built the flagship app for a new startup from scratch. Now, I'm looking for a new adventure!
I've made dozens of apps (my GitHub account shows off some of them), and I've built and designed a wide variety of things, including web apps, static sites, desktop apps, mobile apps, and even Discord bots and board games.
Here are some things I've built:
Sage was my personal AI Assistant. I had it as a desktop application and used it every day for work until ChatGPT's mobile app became a cheaper alternative. Under the hood, it uses ChatGPT's GPT-4 model. It's made using React with TypeScript, Tauri to package it for desktop platforms, and Vite for bundling.
I created this site to support my first (and probably only) music album. It's very simple and built entirely with HTML, CSS and basic JavaScript - just like the site you're currently browsing.
Here are some of the things I can do as part of your your team:
- Mentor others supportively
- Model effective communication
- Apply best practices for security and accessibility
- Set up CI/CD
- Build test suites for unit testing and integration testing
- Build dashboards and data visualizations
- Write simple, clean code and useful commit messages
- Design developer-friendly mocks, or work closely with your design team as a UI Engineer
- Implement fully responsive layouts
- Create a custom icon set
- Clear, kind code review
- Create a style guide
- Create or maintain a component library
- Create simple animations
I'm also experienced with Agile, Scrum, Kanban, and the Atlassian product suite.
These are the technologies I use most often:
DESIGN
Figma for wireframing and creating mocks
Midjourney AI for creating logos and imagery
FRONT END WEB DEVELOPMENT
HTML / CSS / JavaScript
React.js with TypeScript
Next.js
A wide variety of CSS tools including SASS and styled-components
Webpack or Vite for bundling
Electron or Tauri for creating desktop apps
BACKEND WEB DEVELOPMENT
Node.js with Express.js
REST APIs
NPM Package Manager
WEB HOSTING AND DEPLOYMENT
AWS (Amplify, S3, Route 53, Cloudfront, EC2)
Plain Nginx servers
OTHER TOOLING
Git Version Control
Eslint for codebase linting
ChatGPT and Google (carefully) to multiply my productivity
Other technologies I use occasionally:
Design libraries (Material UI, Ant design)
Other front end JavaScript frameworks (Vue.js and Solid.js)
State management libraries (Redux, Recoil.js)
Storybook for creating component libraries
Websockets
PHP
Databases such as MySQL and SQLite
