I'm a full stack Rails and React dev with 11-years of experience. Product focused, from wireframing and user stories I've helped companies through greenfield app development, rearchitecting existing apps, and maintaining legacy products.
In my free time I like making 3D-experiences and mapping GIS data.

Dunno I loved rails, built monoliths, built api only, but when I tried sprinkling a bit of react in my views (say you only need a little bit of interaction, or want to use a react date picker) then theres all these sharp edges.
The reason I want it to be bigger is that user base helps the single dev, with help resources, up to date gems, and jobs.
Public school in Hawaiʻi man.

Email: https://www.linkedin.com/in/captainwhitaker/I used to really like OkCupid. Old school OkC reminded me of Bantr from Ted Lasso, it was more personality-driven. You'd answer hundreds of questions and see compatibility scores with people nearby. Even though that might be a questionable metric (I actually enjoy dating people different from me), it was interesting to sort by inverse and see who I was supposedly incompatible with.
What I love most about meeting through apps is how low-pressure it feels. There's no second-guessing about whether they're interested, if they're single, or worrying that you're bothering them. A dating app that actually tries to help people connect instead of sucking us dry through backtrack fees would be amazing.
I have no knowledge of the non-profit space, how would you initially fund something like that?
Love this project!

Hello friends! 10+ years of experience at startups, marketing firms and research labs! I love building products and design interfaces and user flows to be as easy as possible for users, wether it's renting boats or defining custom encryption parameters.
Looking to work in-person (Honolulu) or Remote. I've worked hybrid at Oceanit and fully remote at Ubiq (San Diego).
In my spare time I've also been making 3D web experiments and small games, so if you need some interactive 3D for your solar field or housing development or an edutainment experience I'd love to work on it!
I'm also building a massive database of gluten free grocery products to help people with Celiacs and gluten intolerances find replacements for their favorite foods.
GF products are expensive and hit or miss, I really wanted something where I could keep track of my favorite items. I also want to let people rank them, so maybe I can discover the best gluten free hamburger bun (Rudi's Brioche), or beer (Glutenberg Blonde).
I'm also making a user submitted recipe section, so say you want to recreate a Taco Bell Doritos Locos Taco, it's easy to link to the products you need.
I'm not sure where this project is headed but I couldn't find any jobs working in this space so decided to make something to help myself.

This is a silly little game I built over the last couple of days.You launch Santa into the air, then use your arrow keys to glide him to houses to deliver the presents.I've been playing with React Three Fiber all year, but this is my first game and the first time using the physics engine Rapier. I had a blast, and surprisingly everything turned out pretty much as I envisioned it, from the game...
After I was finished I decided to look up the author and found out he wrote "Killers of the Flower Moon" and "The Lost City of Z", both of which I really enjoyed! If you like books like Endurance, Unbroken, or A Land So Strange, you'll dig this one.

2,000 acres burned in the maui fire. In contrast, Alexander and Baldwin sold 41,000 acres of sugar plantation land in 2018.
Here's a map of the Maui fires (red dots) overlayed on sugar lands. https://imgur.com/CysWreb, https://health.hawaii.gov/epo/egis/sugarcane/
From NYT: “The fire problem,” he added, “is mostly attributable to the vast extents of nonnative grasslands left unmanaged by large landowners.”
That shift away from plantations allowed tropical grasslands to grow untended, which built up the fuels needed for big wildfires to spread. Mr. Trauernicht, a specialist in wildland fire science and management at the University of Hawaii at Manoa, refers to a “grass-fire” cycle.
This happens when the heavy rains that fall across the islands cause the grasses to grow. Then the dry season arrives, and the grasses burn.
“The biomass out there is off the charts,” Mr. Trauernicht said in a 2021 interview.
There are ways that the authorities can limit this destructive cycle, he said. They include building firebreaks, introducing vegetation that is more resistant to fire and allowing livestock to keep grasses at a manageable level. For years, Mr. Trauernicht and other experts have been calling for such moves to mitigate Hawaii’s wildfire risks."
And: "I talked to Clay Trauernicht, one of Hawaii’s top wildfire experts. His assessment: The plantations of sugarcane and pineapple that dominated the state's economy during much of the 19th and 20th centuries are mostly gone. Their disappearance, and Hawaii's heavy rains, allowed tropical grasslands to grow rapidly, replacing them. But then the dry season comes, and the grasses burn, causing destruction like we’re seeing on Maui.
