Alex Roberts' Portfolio Site
My name is Alex Roberts. I am an IT professional with over 9 years of experience in user support, workflow management, and systems administration. I have a passion for technology and revel in the confusion of a difficult problem. My goal with this site is to showcase my experience, skills, and projects. These projects will become progressively more advanced as I develop my skills. I find software engineering to be a particularly rewarding area of study and hope to break into the field so I can learn more about larger environments.
I built this site from the ground up using hand-coded HTML, CSS, and JavaScript within VS Code. I taught myself using free online resources. The technology stack is currently static pages running on the service Render. Eventually we will move to an Ubuntu VPS running Nginx with a Gunicorn layer to host Python apps. The vision is to eventually build more complex database software and connect this site to it using an API to ensure live updates.
- Calculator app hosted in the Projects page. (In progress, evaluating flask as potential for web app)
- Application for merging PDFs according to a spreadsheet. This is a rebuild of a project I've made professional before.
- Contact page submission form and backend admin page to access the contact submissions.
