Holly Rudge
Reliable, loyal, and determined. Voted "Most Thoughtful Friend" by NSS classmates.
I have always loved problem solving and puzzles of any kind - jigsaw, logic, or sudoku puzzle - I
enjoy them all.
My love for numbers and organization (and spreadsheets), drew me to pursue a degree in
accounting, and I worked as an auditor for over 9 years before deciding to make a change to pursue
a career in software development. I wasn't exactly sure what I was getting myself into at the beginning,
but now I can say with certainty that I've found a place where my love for learning, joy in solving
puzzles, eye for detail, and ability to think outside the box will join together in a career I can
pursue with passion. I've loved my journey thus far in this software development world, and I look
forward to all the wonderful people I will meet, and new things I will learn!

Fresh Tomatoes
I decided to create Fresh Tomatoes because I love to spend time watching good movies, but there are so many options, and not all of them are worth my time to watch. I have lovely friends and family who recommend films, but I have found that often I can't remember the title of a movie they recommended, or I would remember the name but couldn't remember who recommended it to me. Knowing who recommended the film helps me know if I am in the mood for the type of film they generally enjoy. I was frustrated with available list applications and their lack of features for keeping track of these recommendations, so I built my app to keep track of a users list of movies recommended by friends, as well as their ratings of these movies once they had watched the films. A few additional features include a random movie selector (from the movie list), as well as the ability to filter movies by friend, and delete all movies recommended by a particular friend.
My goals for this app were to build a CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) app to help solidify and expand my understanding and comfort with coding in React and Javascript as well as utilizing a third party API (The Movie Database API) and dabbling in the Bulma CSS framework (and a few other plug-in components). I also utilized GitHub’s project board to assist me by remaining organized and on task. This application was built for my Front-End/Client-Side Capstone project for Nashville Software School.

SocialBuzz
Worked with three classmates to create a working web application built with the ReactJS library with CRUD functionality utilizing the OpenWeather API and JSON server for persistent data storage. The app allows a user to organize daily tasks, events, news articles, and interact with other users/friends via the chat functionality.
My contribution to the project included the implementation of the news articles component by which each user is able to list news articles on his/her articles page with the option to modify or remove their own articles. Friends articles appear in different styling.
