Calculator

Free Code Camp Calculator Project Open live project

This calculator project, part of the Free Code Camp Front End Certification curriculum, taught me a lot about CSS and JavaScript. To make it look and act as realistically as possible, extra care was taken to ensure an error-free experience. For example, entering "3 × + 4 =" results in "7", not "12" or "error".

Superconvert

Superconvert: The Internet's Best Unit Converter Open live project

Superconvert is an app I built to "solve my own problems". Every time I wanted to follow a recipe, I'd have to convert everything from Imperial to Metric. Existing sites required 7 or 8 actions for each conversion so I made Superconvert, which converts up to 30 unit pairs at a time and allows you to customize your homescreen colors.
