My name is Daryl Calhoun

As a passionate programmer, I'm always seeking new challenges and opportunities to learn and grow. Whether I'm developing games using JavaScript or building complex web applications, I bring a relentless drive to innovate and create new solutions.

With a deep understanding of data structures and algorithms, I excel at analyzing complex data sets and identifying patterns and insights that help drive business success. I'm pursuing a bachelor's degree in computer science, but I'm also an avid self-studier who loves to experiment and push the boundaries of what's possible.

As you explore my portfolio, you'll see examples of some of the major projects I've completed, including innovative game development work and cutting-edge web development initiatives. I take pride in every project I work on, and I'm always eager to tackle new challenges and develop new skills.

If you're looking for a passionate, driven software engineer and web developer who can help take your projects to the next level, I'm ready to take on the challenge. Thank you for taking the time to learn more about me, and I look forward to the opportunity to work with you in the future.

Major Projects

As a skilled full stack developer, I have completed several notable projects that demonstrate my expertise with a wide range of technologies and programming languages. One of my major accomplishments is Yelp-Camp, a robust CRUD application that showcases my proficiency in Node.js, JavaScript, HTML, CSS, and Bootstrap. Using the powerful NoSQL database framework Mongoose, I created a system for managing user authentication, login verification, and campground reviews, with seamless integration of cloud-based services like Cloudinary and Mongo. If you need a developer with experience building complex, scalable web applications, Yelp-Camp is a prime example of my skills in action.

Another significant project I completed was a rogue-like video game that required me to lead a team of five other developers in applying agile methodologies and the scrum process to a challenging software engineering challenge. By developing an innovative procedural generation algorithm for randomized maps and refining the collision-based combat system, I demonstrated my ability to design and implement complex gaming mechanics with ease. You can see my contributions in action by checking out the videos I created for our development diary, which showcase my team's progress during each 2-3 week sprint here.

Of course, these are just a few examples of the many projects I have completed over the years. If you're interested in seeing more, you can explore my Github profile, where I've shared a variety of coursework and personal projects that highlight my expertise in data structures, algorithms, and much more. Whether you need a developer who can work independently or thrive as part of a team, I have the skills and experience to deliver top-notch results on even the most challenging projects.
