Sandbox Experiments: Where Code Meets Curiosity.
When I first started coding, I quickly realized that the best way to learn was by building. So, I created a sandbox—a space where I could experiment with new frameworks, test API integrations, and push my skills beyond their comfort zone. It’s a playground for concepts that might never see production but always teach me something valuable.
From Audio Players to Data Visualizations.
Some of my earliest projects were simple but pivotal. I built a custom HTML5 audio player using JavaScript, experimenting with the Web Audio API to create intuitive playback controls. Then, there was the Binary Search Tree visualizer, a project that brought algorithms to life through interactive D3.js visualizations. Each project, no matter how small, taught me how to transform abstract logic into tangible user experiences.
Scalable, Modular, and Always Reusable.
The more I coded, the more I saw the potential for reusability. Projects like the Node.js image upload service with Multer or the Google Analytics dashboard weren’t just standalone exercises—they became modular components that could easily be integrated into larger e-commerce templates. These mini-projects might seem small, but they’re packed with lessons in scalability,API design , and clean code practices.
Styling the Unseen: SVGs and CSS Tricks.
While backend logic is essential, I also love playing with the frontend. In my SVG experiments, I explored how vector graphics could be manipulated with CSS to create interactive icons and UI components. It’s the kind of work that teaches you to look closer, to see how small stylistic choices can elevate the user experience.
If JAMstack isn't your thing, I'm equally at home developing for other server-side technologies. If you need help putting together an application or API with Node.js and Express, or Go with PostgreSQL, then I've got your back.
Learning, Building, and Iterating.
Every project in my sandbox is a stepping stone—an exercise in turning raw ideas into functional features. Whether it’s building a multi-instance audio player, deploying a Hugo site, or testing the limits of Shopify’s Storefront API, each experiment keeps me sharp, curious, and ready for the next challenge.
