Hi, I'm Alex McKendrick! I am a full-stack web developer who has a passion for computers, language,
art and knowledge.
What I enjoy about web development the most is being able to create tools for
myself and others that open up avenues for utility, creativity and opportunities for learning and
growth. I feel most websites aid these causes in some way, which drives me to love what I do.
A couple of projects I am working on currently in my spare time are:
- A taxonomy API that stores the scientific names of flora and fauna
I have identified for reference. I aim to be able to graph their taxonomic
relations to help aid me in learning more about the plants and animals I encounter.
- A simple interface that will make it easier for me to create generative
art, such as seen here
Currently I am interested in expanding my abilities with Laravel and Vue/React, making generative
audio/visual art and learning the functional paradigm to better understand programming as a whole.
In my personal life, I like to produce electronic music, fly drones, be in nature and identify
plants and animals. I also enjoy sports such as caving and power-kiting.
