My name is Kelly Lloyd. I graduated from the University of Florida in 2016 with a BA in English and initially worked in real estate and legal fields.
Feeling unfulfilled, I pivoted to software development after being laid off during COVID-19. I completed online courses in Python and JavaScript, transitioning into web development over the past four years.
My first coding job ignited my passion for creating innovative projects, where I blend creativity and problem-solving with emerging technologies.
ResumeGitHubA role-playing journaling game in which a user creates a vampire character and chronicles their life by answering a series of prompts. Using Redux Toolkit, a slice creates the initial vampire state and the actions it reacts to (saving all information the user enters during character creation to later use and manipulate during gameplay). Hosted on AWS S3 as a subdomain using Route 53, CloudFront, and Certificate Manager.
GitHub Live ProjectThis site demonsrates my understanding of core CSS and HTML skills. JavaScript functions are used for the sticky navbar, scroll behavior (having the scroll up button show once user scrolls down the page), contact form submission, and the open/close logic for an accordian. Hosted on AWS using S3, Route 53, CloudFront, and Certificate Manager.
GitHub Live ProjectA Wordle clone built using Vue.js + Vite and hosted on AWS S3 as a subdomain. JavaScript is used to create functions handling game logic, including user input, letter tile changes, and win conditions. Tailwind CSS implements dark mode theme switching, as well as the styling for the grid and its components.
GitHub Live ProjectA full-stack web application that allows users to register for an account and submit captions to various photos. The backend utilizes Node.js + Express and Sequalize, with PostgreSQL serving as the database. The frontend makes different API calls to the database to post and get user, caption, and image data. Users are registered and authenticated using JWT authenticastion, with password encryption through BCrypt.
GitHub Project DemoOriginally built using Python and Pygame, this is a pathfinding algorithm visualizer re-built with Vue.js and CSS. The algorithms include Breadth First Search, Depth First Search, and the Bellman-Ford Algorithm. Users can draw edges or walls, then watch the algorithm working itself around those barriers from the start node to the end node.
GitHub Live ProjectA side scroller game built using Python and Pygame that increases in speed over time while tracking the player's score. The user character continuously runs forwards as the background continously moves left at a certain speed. Obstacles appear for which the user must jump or slide to avoid. The game ends once a collision has occurred.
