Welcome to my custom website!
Over the past couple of years, I have taught myself full-stack
development.
One of my goals for this website was to take
the simplicity of the retro computer look and add more complex
features with javascript.
Some of the more interesting
functions of this website are;the stacking of the tabs, and the
resizing of the tabs to full screen. Click the read me, contact me, or
the quiz tabs to see.
Showcased Works
The Bitlearn project uses API integration, user authentication, and
database injection.
The Minigolf Scorecard uses React.js,
and local storage.
Everything can't be play, so what is my work side?

I have been coding for seconds! Seems like a lot eh.
I am currently a Junior at Michigan State University studying Marketing. I plan to pursue the master’s in marketing research program that focuses on consumer behavior and data analysis.
I am a fully self-taught programmer who is passionate about full stack web development. I used this passion as a junior front end devloper for V2soft, a tech company.
I am the head developer for a minigolf course in Myrtle Beach SC called The Red Dragon Cove. I created a React.js web application that is fully responsive to adjust to different mobile screen sizes. I also used Local storage to keep user's scores after a refresh or going to a different app.
A few years ago, I started a drop shipping business grossing over $4,000 and netting just over $1,500 in profit.
What does the fun side of Blake Look like?

Hi there. If you are reading this, you must be interested in
learning about the personal side of me. So, let’s begin!
The first thing that I love to do is exercise. It’s a place where I can battle myself and release my emotions.
I also love Bitcoin. Without getting into the nitty gritty, I believe that it is an instrument of hope. And a world full of hope is a world that I want to live in. A subsection of Bitcoin that I also like is Bitcoin mining. The use cases for energy monetization in places where it was not possible to do is massive and I believe is going to be a major part of climate restoration.
Lastly, I love to learn. Learning is synonymous with growing, and if you are not growing then you are stagnant. I believe that knowledge is empowering and the more I can learn the more powerful I can become.
Lastly is a bullet point list of everything that I love:
- Front End Development
- Back End Development
- Learning
- Bitcoin
- Steak
- Exercising
- Polar Bears

Link to the websiteFor this project, I wanted to create a Bitcoin education platform to make learning about Bitcoin easier. To prevent spam, I integrated the lightning network, through Strike's payment API, to make the cost of attack less incentivizing. I also used Mempools.space API to gather Bitcoin information. Everyhting is vinella HTML, CSS and javaScript. Link to project

One of my passions is reading. However, one of the problems with
Loving to read is tracking all of the books that you have read.
So, for this project, I wanted to create a book-tracking web app
That would allow you to set reading goals, and take actionable
steps to achieve those reading goals. For this project I used
Auth0 as the user authentication system, MongoDB as the database,
Node.js as the backend, React.js as the frontend, CSS for styling,
HTML for components, and JavaScript for functionality.

For this project, I created a react.js web app for a minigolf course. In this app, you can add up to 6 players, which will dynamically load them into a scorecard page that will track their scores for 18 holes. At the end of the game, it will list the winners to the losers. I also used Local storage to keep the user's information even after a page reload.
