About me

Profile Image

For the last decade most of my work has been centered around music. These past several years, however, I have also taken the creativity and sensibility from my musicianship and developed it into a passion for learning and writing code. Through various courses online I have taught myself to build responsive websites and web apps. I have studied a variety of languages including php, java, and c#, sql, and am currently using and focusing on javascript, html/css, ejs, node.js, and mongoDB/ mongoose library.

I am always continuing my education so that I can better my abilities, and I am currently working through a react.js Course. My ideal future goal includes finding a digital marketing/ web development company to work for that embodies a creative spirit in a diligent environment. Please feel free to contact me at markporo@yahoo.com for any inquiries of any kind.

Projects

Wordpress Website For A Local Author

This is a Wordpress site that I build and maintain for a local author (my mother :) ). It was built from a free wordpress theme, but I had to add a ton of customized css to get it to look the way I wanted it to look. The custom css also allowed me to make the site resizeable for different devices. It was interesting working with wordpress. I'd much prefer writing all the code, but this format allows the client to update the site pretty easily if they need to.

Wedding Website

I recently built this for my wedding! I customized this to work with our wedding colors and to work around an engagement photo that I really liked. It is built entirely from html/css, javascript, ejs, node.js and currently hosted on heroku. The trickiest part of this project was to create a working rsvp section with multiple forms that will appear depending on the name of the invited guest. Submit different names to check it out. (Try these names --Jeff Stout, Chris Porostosky)

Band Webite

I still play in several bands at the moment. This is a website I built for my side project --Poro. It is entirely created with HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and hosted via netlify. I tried to make it a seemless and very easy to navigate site. I think it looks great on mobile as well as desktop.

TO Do List

This is a fun To Do list project. Its one of the first projects I did to learn how to persist data inputed by a user. The database used is MongoDB/ mongoose (ODM library) to persist the user given To Do Items. Also used is the LoDash library for helping with the javascript code.

Best Worst Joke Book

This is a blog website of terribly great Jokes. It incorporates ejs templating, a MongoDB Atlas Connection, and some BootStrap Library integration along with Javascript, Node.js, and HTML/CSS. One unique aspect to this site is the use of ejs templates which allows pages to be created upon the addition of joke names. This project also allows any users to add a joke to the blog themselves. Have a bad one? Add it to the Blog!
