About Me

Simachew Mengiste
Greetings,

I am Simachew Mengiste. My academic journey has wandered through the captivating territories of mathematics, data analysis, computer science, and the multidisciplinary landscapes of computational neuroscience.

Recently, I delved into the realm of full-stack web development, a fascinating blend of creativity and technology. Within this portfolio, you'll find glimpses of my endeavors. This venture has transformed into a genuine passion that invites me to explore the intricate interplay of front-end and back-end technologies. Contained within are projects that nicely adapt to various screen sizes.

But this portfolio's narrative is just a start. Its horizons will broaden, encompassing not only the craft of web development, but an array of other past, present and future pursuits in variouis topics.

Thanks for visiting.

My Apps

simazon

Simazon is an e-commerce website, inspired by Amazon. It has a functional user authentication system, a shopping cart and a search filter system. Planned is to add a payment system and modify the profile page to allow users to update their information.

pokéstuff

Pokéstuff is a simple app to explore the Pokémon universe. A user can search for one or more Pokémon character by typing part of its id, name or kind. There is also a memory card game that a user can play by choosing one of the difficulty levels.

spinner

This is the first javascript app that I developed shortly after I started learning the basics of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. It is written on a single HTML file without using a library such as React.js. It enables one to randomly choose an item from a group of items. Users can add, remove, and edit items.

contacts

It is basically a tutorial of React Router v-6. As I have been using the earlier version, I decided to follow the tutorial to get the idea. I liked the result when all the pieces were put together. I created its own server to replace the "fake network" and I twiked the app a bit to communicate with the API. I also modified the search filter.

collabnet

Collabnet is an app under development. Because I have worked on networks for a while and am passionate about graph theory, I decided to start creating a network of some sort and visualize it on a web app. I used the grouping data of our 16 coursemates in 7 group projects to create a network of collaboration and visualize it.

portfolio

This is the portfolio that you are currently visiting. It is a React app that I created to display my projects and contact information. I used React Bootstrap to style the app. I also used React Router to create the navigation bar and the links to the projects and contact pages.
