  • What do I know? I know easy LeetCode pretty well and can give a medium question a good try on an interview. I know HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and React better than most. I've built multiple fullstack projects as a hobby, many of which I attempted to get communities to actually used. I can hold a conversation about most things on roadmap.sh for frontend. If asked on an interview, I can talk about testing, accessibility, SEO, CSR/SSR/SSG, state management, security, databases, etc. I do NOT have a CS degree but I DO have a college and a medical degree.

  • Sticking with the roofing theme, you could make an application that shows shingle delivery truck drivers their stops on a map. It would be cool if the user could click on the stop and move it through varying statuses such as pending, en-route, completed or canceled, view the items in the order, and have it send your user a message when the statuses change. It might also be kinda cool if you could allow the delivery driver to start their shift, break for lunch, and end their day. You could have manager users that could log into your site too and export the timesheets for all or a subset of the drivers. You could even use something like d3.js or chart.js to give the managers insights into driver productivity. Some of the data may have to be mocked but it could be a fun project. After a brief search I found this https://openlayers.org open source js map library that could be cool to work with. In the past I have worked with the google maps api which wasn’t terrible. Make sure to set up some testing and a CI/CD pipeline. While not strictly required I think it would go along way to demonstrate that you are well rounded and will prepare you for working with them in the industry.
