Overview
Comprehensive Netflix clone with full CRUD functionality
Features
- Complete authentication system via Firebase
- Database with individual user watchlist data
- REST API calls to TMDB for movie/show data
- Infinite scrolling
- Search functionality
What I learned
The biggest challenge I faced with this project was state management, which was greatly attributed to the fact that I did not have a full picture of the structure before I began coding. This experience helped me to realize the necessity of fully understanding the design of a system before building it. For the next version, I plan to redesign the entire application to leverage Redux and React Router.

What I learned
This was my first project working with Redux and I immediately thought to myself, "Why didn't I learn this earlier?!?" This also gave me an opportunity to begin implementing what I've learned about back-end development by building a proxy server. Also, working with 3D is hard! Respect to all the game devs.

Statically generated site showcasing my favorite projects
Features
- Parallax scroll effect
- Intersection observer animations
- Contact form
What I learned
In addition to the parallax scrolling and intersection observers, in order to achieve the mental image of the design for this site, I had to learn a little bit about video editing. Specifically, how to change the color of the video as well as how to make it a seamless loop.
