Martastic 2.0
Plan your trip on MARTA using real-time train schedule information! Select a station, destination, or line to get started!
The original version had the ability to create a user account and add comments and pictures, plus specific station information, but this was removed in favor of just displaying the train schedule. This resulted in a simpler, more user-friendly UI and experience.
Number of Countries
Compare your number of countries visited with the world average number of countries visited.
Originally a Fortran-only program, I decided to make a web-based version not only as a personal challenge, but to be able to show it to anyone with internet access.
I learned much more than I thought I would from this seemingly small exercise, namely how different languages are better suited for certain applications and how different programming was in the 1950s as opposed to the present day.

About Me
I first discovered coding and web development in July 1999 on a platform called Expage, which was meant to be used for very simple, little-to-no code, single page websites. I quickly outgrew Expage and moved to Tripod and later Angelfire, which offered a more advanced environment; nothing but a blank textbox to type your code into.
I re-discovered this wonderful world in January 2019, and it was nothing like how it was when I left it about 15 years prior. I studied on my own at first, and in April 22, 2019 I joined Flatiron School in Atlanta, GA to learn full stack web development.
I have 4 years of experience as a professional software engineer/full stack web developer, primarily with Rails and React. I enjoy full stack development because the backend and the frontend are different enough to provide different experiences and challenges. I also like to experiment with other languages and try new things every once in a while, just to see what they are like.
If you have any questions, please contact me through Github or LinkedIn.
