Intro

Hello, my name is Ryan Prosser and I am a full stack software engineer based out of Worcester, MA! I have always enjoyed the challenge of solving problems and the idea of finding ways to improve upon current processes to make them more efficient or easier. With this way of thinking in mind, I began my career in software engineering.

Thank you for taking the time to look at my portfolio! My abilities in JavaScript have led to the creation of multiple frontend, backend, and full stack projects that I take a lot of pride in. Throughout these projects I leveraged frameworks and tools with JavaScript such as React, Express, Knex, PostgreSQL, and more to put my skills on display. You can check out some of my work here!

Movie Database Backend Project || View Project

I set up a database and built out specific routes so that users can gain access to data about movies, theaters, and reviews. This was done by creating Knex migrations, seeding data, and then using Knex to access data and tables made in my database. I practiced creating a service, controller, and router file to help keep my code clean and keep similar code together.

Background

I graudated from Endicott College in 2022 with a bachelors degree in Marketing and Business Management. After starting my career in sales I realized I wanted to transition into a career that fit me better. I decided on software development because I believed it aligned better with the way I think. I like solving problems and the idea that there is multiple definitive correct ways to do something. Learning to code was a challenge I was happy to accept and I could not be happier that I did.

Interests

Outside of my work, I have three dogs who I love to play with, I like going to the gym, cooking new recipes wiith my family, and I recently picked up archery to practice target shooting as a new hobby.
