Hi, I'm Cristobal Heiss
I build Javascript things
About me
I'm a Software Developer based in Munich that likes to write in Javascript. My aim is to create code that is readable, clean, and with short immutable functions when possible.
Frameworks are nice, but I like to spend a lot of time with 'VanillaJS' to understand what is going on. That being, I have experience working with React, Next.JS and some bits and bytes of Node/Express as well.
Currently working on Global Savings Group, moving between Design Systems, building POCs, and tweaking things. Oh, and here is my blog.
My Projects
Calculator App
This calculator was developed, as a challenge for Free Code Camp, using React and Redux to manage state. The display screen shows current entered value and current operation.
Ragnarok Game
This is a turn-based game built mainly in Vanilla JS with a dash of jQuery. Players can move through a map, find weapons, danger, and if they encounter each other... fight!. Playable in PC.
URL-Shortener Service
A Node/Express backend application that generates shortened url's. I used MongoDB for data persistance. Currently loads slow because uses a free deployment service.
Drum Piano Machine
This application was built with React. It has two modalities, one for percussion and the other one for piano. You can play sounds either with keyboard or clicking. Each sounds changes the background color!
Random Quote Service
This is a small service that is opened for requests. Most people when are learning about API's struggle to find a free simple API, so I made one of the Lord of The Rings. The endpoint provides randomly a quote, character who said that quote, and a url to the image(hosted in the same server).
Random Quote App
This App is a simple React App that shows random Lord of The Rings quotes. I built it because it uses the backend service mentioned above, so it's and example for anyone who would like to use my API. Since both apps are hosted in free services, initial load might take a while.
Lord of The Ipsum
This is an old but beloved app. Since at the time I was building a lot of HTML websites, I needed one lorem ipsum that I really liked, so I built mine with plain HTML, JS and CSS, and a JSON file I wrote to source the data.
