Software Developer

Hey there, I’m Grant! Thanks for stopping by my site. I’m a developer and consultant at DB Services, where I get to dive into full-stack development, working with tools like FileMaker, Vue.js, and Claris Server to craft solutions that are as effective as they are easy to use.

For me, great development is all about the experience—it’s not just about making things work but making them feel right. That means understanding the blend of design, user experience, business needs, and technical details, and collaborating closely with clients and teammates to bring their ideas to life. I’m always exploring new trends and sharpening my skills to keep things fresh and impactful. Let’s connect if anything here sparks an idea! Thanks for visiting, I hope you enjoy!

Family & Friends

The people around me are central to who I am as a person. Simply hanging out and making memories with the ones I love is my favorite thing to do!

Description:

My latest and greatest project yet! This is my take on the classic game of Asteroids. I initially created this rendition in my first ever computer science class using MIT's Scratch. Ever since, I have been looking to remake the game so others can enjoy it and I finally got around to it... 7 years later. I created a full-stack game using Nuxt for the UI/UX, Typescript for the game logic and rendering, and Supabase for statistic tracking and high score management.
