Hello!

I'm Devin Sharpe — full stack developer & proud cat dad 🐱

Who Am I?

Hey! Welcome to devsharpe.io. I'm Devin Sharpe, a passionate full-stack web developer from Atlanta, GA. I'm not afraid of new codebases, making architecture changes, or approaching interesting UX challenges. I have dedicated over 5 years of my life to software development, and I recently spent time learning new technologies and building new things at The Washington Post and Telrite Holdings.

I have been spending a lot of my time lately working on a new application, Euphoria. My greater goal with software development is to create applications and experiences that help users connect with something larger than themselves. Whether that's accomplished by connecting old friends, creating free time, or easing their anxiety about their obligations and life trajectory.

I love seeing new features go from being standup ideas to valuable experiences for users. I currently work with Typescript, React, and Fastify for most of my work and personal projects. My web development career began with Python, Django, and Vue. I regularly fallback on these technologies for simple, personal projects. I have thoroughly explored Electron, and React Native is currently on my radar. Of course, new technologies fascinate me, and I'm always ready to learn something new.

Active Projects

I started to become exhausted with managing my life and obligations with multiple apps, so I decided to explore creating a task and time management application. Euphoria allows users to manage life's many projects by logging time entries, create tasks, and collaborate with other team members. I took this opportunity to spend time with technologies I thoroughly enjoy and exploring the software problems our industry tends to shy away from.

Retired Projects

I undertook the development of a modern social media PWA with the aim of fostering genuine connections among individuals in a simpler and healthier manner. This platform allows users to freely share three text posts and one image per day, alleviating the burdens of projecting an artificially perfect online image. The project involved managing multiple databases, maintaining multiple apps within a monorepo, and engaging in cutting-edge experimentation at the edge, offering me the exhilarating learning experience I constantly seek.
