This site! It's modest and to the point, sort of like me. When I planned out building this site I wanted to optimize for ease-of-use and load speeds, so I chose Nuxt.js to get fast loading times with pre-generated pages and Cloudinary for transforming and serving quality images. I also opted to go with a straightforward design that prioritized legibility and readability of text, while making images and colors pop.

Playabl is a modern community and event management system built for the roleplaying hobby. Building it has been a great joy and given me the chance to expand my skillset by diving into serverless and backend areas that I typically don't get the chance to use on the job.

The app includes a variety of features including messaging, email notifications, and even a partner Slack application. It is currently in Beta as I work with some early adopters to identify key requirements and find market fit.

Roll With Me started as a weekend project to learn more about webhooks and grew into a set of tools for playing games online, including text based and drag-and-drop versions of dice rollers. I initially deployed it to Heroku to leverage running a Node server for Socket.IO, but I later revamped it and moved it into AWS Amplify so that I could add a database and GraphQL API with subscriptions for realtime data.

The app has seen steady adoption and now sees consistent usage among those playing games online.
