oral-history

A photo-documentation site made to review and remeber the life, work and projects of my late Father Paul D. Sehnert.

The landing page for my portfolio. Serves as a graphical display for resume info and a way for explorers to reach the other parts of my portfolio, such as projects I have worked on in the past. in addition, the issues and progress blog in the application serve as a place for recording my growth as a developer and goals for the future. In this sense, I have contextualized the github issues, which i usually use as a form of documentation for hypothical colleauges and/or possible future contributors, as a form of self documentation. The site uses React, SCSS for styles, React-transition-group for animations and Firebase as Backend as a service, for image storage and database.
