Claudia Mena Rieke - Front-end Developer

Hi, hola, aloha! I'm Claudia 👋🏽

I'm a front-end developer with a passion for sustainability, community, and our oceans. I’ve always loved a challenge and thrive in unfamiliar territory! While looking for a change in my career trajectory I found that coding was the perfect marriage of my diverse skill sets and passions. I've chosen to follow the path of growth with this new career and can't wait to see where it takes me. I hope we can be on this journey together.

Curious about me? Here you have it:

Claudia volunteering on the North Shore of Oahu.

I'm Claudia, a lifelong student with a background in communications and project management. I've always been fascinated by streamlining processes and finding ways to make things run smoother. Whether it's simplifying vendor communications or implementing an automated scheduling system, I love taking existing processes and making them more efficient.

I'm making a career transition into the exciting world of web development. I'll be completing the SheCodes React course by the end of October 2023. Through all these courses, I have gained skils in HTML, CSS, Javascript, Bootstrap, web hosting, Github, Flexbox, SEO, responsiveness as well as React. With my strong communication skills and project coordination experience, I'm excited to bring my abilities to a whole new industry.

My ultimate goal? To become a highly skilled software engineer and continue to grow and learning in my career. When I'm not fully immersed in code, you can catch me sipping on a delicious oat milk latte, hiking through Oahu’s tropical forest with my sweet pup, or participating in a beach clean up - these microplastics are everywhere! 😩

I'm a huge advocate for ocean conservation and fighting plastic waste. In fact, I'm super interested in taking on projects that promote environmental activism, like developing software solutions to protect our beautiful oceans and cut down on plastic pollution. Let's connect and make some awesome things happen!

Some of the noteworthy projects I have built:

Weather Project

This was my final project for the SheCodes Plus course. To create this project, I used HTML, CSS, Bootstrap, Javascript and used an API to provide real time weather data.

Here's a quick summary of my most recent certifications

SheCodes Responsive - August 2023

In this course I continued to work on my skills in HTML, CSS, Bootstrap, Github, and hosting on Netlify.
I learned about how to improve a page's SEO.
Using Bootstrap, I learned how to improve the responsiveness of a website to make it mobile friendly.

SheCodes Plus - July 2023

I improved my skills in HTML, CSS, Bootstrap and Javascript.
I learned about API's and built a weather app that fetched real time weather data using axios.
Building my weather app also taught me how hosting worked and I've started using GitHub with this project.

SheCodes Introduction to Coding - May 2022

In this course I was introduced to the basics of HTML, CSS, and Javascript using VS Code.
For the final project of this course, I created a single static page about coffee.
Using Javascript, I was able to have a button at the end of the page which would prompt the user for their name and email.
The last alert used the name inputted and would let them know that recipes for their favorite coffee drink would be sent to their email.
