Noah Gottlieb's Portfolio

Created By Noah Gottlieb

Description

This project demonstrates my strengths as a developing junior programmer. Over the past four months i went from having the very basic knowledge of a handful or languages and frameworks to feeling comfortable building web applications that incorporate user authentication and admin routing for example.

My Strengths

As a programmer

• If I have an idea for my application and am not sure how i am going to implement it I can research and find the correct fit to full fill my need. I gained this talent from my years researching and writing History papers when i was in college completing my BA in History. I love research and correct researching habits is a must for any programmer. I might not know right away how to implement a new feature but i will find out!

• While i love building web applications I also enjoy making a website that looks appetizing. A website can have really impressive applications but if it isn't easily accessible and have style users will move on to a different application that does. I have taken on learning SASS to creating a stylized site that integrates applications and looks cool.

• One aspect that i would like to demonstrate with my portfolio site is using ActionMailer for users or potential clients to contact me. This functionality is found in nearly every business's website and i would like to take on the challenge of implementing it into my portfolio page.

As a person

• One of my passions is cooking! I love to push myself and find new recipes to conquer and more often than not they end up being delicious. I following steps that allow me improvise on them and create something unique that i can share with friends. Not too different from programming! One of the sites that i love to go to to get inspiration is Cooks Illustrated. You have to have an account to access their recipes but they still have great information that is accessible.

• I love a good Reuben Sandwich! My father grew up in New York City and i have family that still lives there. When visiting my family I love I always on my go to Katz's Delicatessen and get there Reuben sandwich. In Portland one of my favorites is from Goose Hollow Inn. It's a traditional Reuben but is very good. Goose Hollow Inn has been a staple for since 1967. Even when i'm not hungry i like to stop in and grab a pint and catch up with friends.

• Growing up in Portland it is hard to not love the outdoors. I grew up with Boy Scouts being a large part of my life. I learned a lot about self-reliance and being mindful of others and my environment. One of my favorite camping spots is on the Oregon coast. Camp Meriwether was one of my favorites! Outside of the scouts i love hiking the in the Mt. Hood area. Heres one of my favorite pictures from my hikes.

What My Portfolio Will Display After Day 1

I took it upon myself to create authenticated routes using for admins and users will be able to log in view my portfolio pages. In the future i will add styling, voting system for users to vote on which projects they like and which they don't, an email system to reach me, and paperclip to add images for users to use as avatars and to upload images of my projects to start.
