Hello, I'm Alec.
I'm a programmer.
Level Up Exercise Log
Level Up Exercise Log, my first significant coding project, initiated in 2020, transforms fitness logging into a rewarding, gamified experience. Utilizing React Native and Node.js, it integrates OAuth for secure login and includes a custom SVG graph for progress tracking, demonstrating an early proficiency at implementing novel and innovative solutions.

Fesslerpainting.com
Fesslerpainting.com, developed for my own residential painting business. Built using Next.js, the website features a minimalist, responsive design and server-side rendering, showcasing my proficiency in modern web development. This venture, while successful, ultimately led me to follow my true passion for programming.
Modern, minimalist desktop design
Turing Complete CPU
In 'Turing Complete,' a game that turns CPU design into an interactive learning experience, I constructed a CPU architecture from the ground up, designing circuits and logic gates. While including a video game project might appear unconventional in a professional portfolio, it profoundly enriched my understanding of CPU architecture and the nuances of low-level programming.

Floating Bedframe
A floating bed frame. Yes, you read that right—a bed frame in my developer portfolio. While it may seem out of place, this bed frame embodies my versatile problem-solving abilities, merging engineering principles and programming skills beyond the digital realm. This project is entirely of my own design. Detailed math was applied to perfect the floating illusion and to engineer a circuit capable of handling the LED's demands.
