A single page application that displays top songs based on iTunes chart categories and countries, and allows users to watch & control YouTube videos of these songs. Originally built with jQuery, and then refactored using React and Redux. Features include: users can tailor the top song results by selecting music categories, countries, and number of songs to display; users can control the music videos using buttons outside of the YouTube player; ensures more than one video does not play at a time; automatically plays the next video when the previous video ends; and users can view artists' bios.
Tech used: React, Redux, jQuery, JavaScript, Bootstrap, AJAX, JSON, APIs (iTunes & YouTube)
A tool built for and currently used by the GLTF Tennis League (a 500+ active member non-profit in the SF Bay Area) to cross-reference two databases (GLTF members and players on U.S. Tennis Association teams). This tool allows administrators to ensure that players on GLTF's current USTA teams (17 teams) have active GLTF memberships, and if not, contact them to obtain or renew their memberships. Checking membership status is accomplished by first compiling a list of active USTA GLTF players (i.e., clicking a button that results in AJAX calls to each USTA GLTF team webpage), and then cross-referencing this USTA player list with the GLTF member database (obtained through the Wild Apricot API). The tool also includes features to easily resolve name discrepancies between the two databases and update the GLTF membership cut-off date for each season.
Tech used: jQuery, JavaScript, AJAX, CORS, JSON, API (Wild Apricot)
