JavaScript, React / Redux, Express / Sequelize, HTML, CSS, PostgreSQL
NetSteam is a full-stack conceptual combination of Netflix and Steam into a single application focused on the sharing and review of Video-Game trailers. Users can create, read, update, and delete reviews as well as see their total reviews posted beside their review seamlessly without refresh. These reviews contain both a text component and a rating component that can both be edited. Users can also change their profile picture and username (with validation) which will automatically update anywhere on the site that the picture can be seen, also without refresh. Users can view trailers in a variety of places as well as have trailers sorted on their home page in sections that will provide video game trailers by popularity or genre. Users can search the video game trailers by clicking any of the genre buttons on each trailer content section or by utilizing the search bar at the top which will show a modal that will live update with relevant information as the user types.

About Me
Software Engineer
My name is Walter Hills and I am a Software Engineer. I love creating applications and the more I create, the more I learn. I have a background in Psychology and it is fascinating to see how website design and functionality can be tailored to give the user the exact experience that the developer, or client, has in mind. After getting my degree in Psychology and briefly working as a counselor, I studied at App Academy to learn how to build full-stack applications and I haven't looked back. Every day I learn more about Software Engineering and more efficient ways to accomplish similar results. I am excited to build a career in this industry and I am currently seeking employment to this end.
