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 five years now. I've worked for 3 years at a small startup company and another 2 at a huge non-profit.
I’ve made dozens of apps (my GitHub account shows off some of them).
I've got experience building a wide variety of apps, including web apps, static sites, desktop apps, mobile apps, and even Discord bots.
Here are some things I’ve built:
Sage is my personal AI Assistant. I have it as a desktop application and use it every day for work. Under the hood, it uses GPT-4 (ChatGPT). 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.
Here are some of the things I can bring to your your team:
- Supportive mentoring
- Model effective communication
- Implement fully responsive layouts
- Create developer-friendly mocks
- Create a style guide
- Create or maintain a component library
- Apply best practices for security and accessibility
- Animations
- Unit testing and integration testing
- Write clean code and commit messages
- Clear, kind code review (including editor-level spelling and grammar for copy)
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)
OTHER TOOLING
Git Version Control
Eslint for codebase linting
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
PM2 to run web servers
