I'm Jonathan Reeves.

I've been coding for almost 4 years. I'm a fullstack developer and instructor at NuCamp where I help students learn the basics of mobile app development using React Native. In my spare time I create video games using both Unreal Engine and Unity.

When I am not coding I enjoy spending time with my two kids and wife.

My Coding Projects ⚒️

Survival Horror Game

A fully functional survival game built with Unity to showcase some of the techniques the Unity editor is capable of such as creating atmospherice fog/mist. Using C# to script out enemy AI behavior as well as a boss fight mechanic. Implemented a fully functioning lighthouse as well as inventory system for storing weapons and health packs.

Paint App

An homage to the old Microsoft Paint application from Windows XP and earlier versions of the OS. Using React, Redux, TypeScript and a XP.css for styling. This was a bare bones implementation of the application.

Run Goblin Run

A project using the Phaser game engine and TypeScript. The game sees you controlloing a Goblin trying to collect as much gold pieces as you can without falling off the platforms or hitting the spike traps. There is a power up that grants double jump. The controls are simple: Sacebar to jump. Hold it down to jump higher/farther.

Rick and Morty Characters

This project was built with React. I wanted to build it from scratch instead of using the create-react-app cli I decided to create the directory and install all the dependencies and configure up all the configs myself in order to better understand how to use Webpack and Babel.

Fire Simulation

For this project I wanted to try my hand at learning more about using Blender to create realistic looking simulations. I was able to use Mantaflow, which is built in to Blender as of version 2.8+ in order to create this simulation.

Learning React Native for the first time was a huge challenge for me. If I did not have the support from Jonathan I am not sure I would have made it! He spent countless hours helping me fix bugs and erros that I had no idea where to start.

Jonathan Reeves was an amazing React Native instructor and helped me truly understand core concepts. Jonathan was always willing to make time for his students on their schedule when they were struggling with a specific concept. I enjoyed how when I needed this extra help, rather than give me the answer directly, Jonathan helped me walk through the code and solve the issue myself. This shows great understanding of what he is teaching, as well as excellent teaching skills. Even after the bootcamp Jonathan has been an amazing friend, and very helpful in preparing me for interviews and helping me study. He is very selfless, and wants to help all his students succeed.
