Building Practical & Engaging Web Applications
I transform ideas into functional, user-friendly digital experiences. From robust backend logic with Supabase to dynamic frontend interfaces with JavaScript, I'm passionate about creating solutions that work seamlessly.
View My WorkHello, I'm Shalom Karr, a dedicated full-stack web developer driven by a passion for creating digital experiences that are not only powerful and user-friendly but also meticulously engineered. My core objective is to build solutions that seamlessly blend intuitive design with robust functionality, addressing complex user requirements through clean, secure, and scalable code.
My expertise spans the full development lifecycle, encompassing both frontend and backend technologies. I'm proficient in HTML, CSS, and modern JavaScript (ES6+) for crafting engaging user interfaces. On the backend, I leverage the power of Supabase, utilizing its PostgreSQL database, authentication mechanisms, real-time capabilities, storage solutions, and Edge Functions to build comprehensive and dynamic applications.
This approach is demonstrated in my recent work on significant projects. For instance, the SK News platform, the community-focused Cleveland Marketplace, and the utility-driven GroupMe Copilot Image Bot each showcase my ability to integrate these diverse technologies effectively. These endeavors have involved architecting systems that handle real-time data, secure user authentication (including considerations for 2FA), and responsive design principles to ensure a consistent experience across all devices. My work consistently reflects a commitment to thoughtful architecture, well-documented code, and a proactive approach to continuous learning, which is essential in the fast-evolving tech landscape.
I genuinely thrive on the analytical challenges inherent in software development. Driven by a love for problem-solving and innovation, I strive not just to meet user needs but to anticipate them, delivering solutions that can enhance community engagement, streamline complex processes, or provide unique utility. I believe that transparent communication and rigorous attention to detail are the cornerstones of successful project delivery, ensuring that every endeavor offers tangible quality and lasting value to its users.
