Hey there I'm Scott Grunerud👋,
I'm a frontend developer with a passion for creating fast, accessible, and enjoyable user experiences. With a degree in Design and Global Business from the University of Waterloo, I bring a unique perspective to my development work, combining technical skills with a keen eye for design. Currently, I'm building cool things as a Software Engineer at Spare in Vancouver, BC.
These are some of the tools I currently enjoy using professionally, however I'm always eager to explore new technologies and techniques. In my off time I'm currently tinkering with Solid.js and Astro.
I built this project using Next.js and Styled Components as a way to experiment with Static Site Generation and improve my component organization and project structure. The app allows you to learn about the planets in our solar system as well as view a 3D model of each one, or if you're on iOS you can see them in Augmented Reality.
I built a full-stack URL shortening app using Prisma, Typescript, and Next-Auth, with features like passwordless authentication and integration with Google and Github accounts. While the app was fully functional, it is no longer available due to Heroku canceling its free tier. Nonetheless, it was a fun introduction to using databases.
I built this brochure site as a way to refresh my knowledge of semantic HTML and clean CSS. While many developers tend to focus on the latest frameworks and features, I believe that good HTML, CSS, and effective use of browser APIs can go a long way in building high-quality websites. It was a fun project that allowed me to hone my front-end skills and produce a site that is both visually appealing and functional.
Listed below are some of my older or experimental projects, which may contain less effective code, but demonstrate how much I've grown as a developer.
My first full-stack app was a playlist curation tool that allowed users to sort and filter tracks based on audio features such as tempo, mood, and energy. I played a major role in building both the backend and frontend of the app.
I hacked together a script that automatically rates the TV shows I've watched on Netflix on IMDB. This helps me find more shows beyond what's available on Netflix.
I had the opportunity to collaborate with Jane Tingley on a unique art installation that aimed to creatively visualize live environmental data. We used a flowfield created in Processing to achieve the desired effect
I'm always excited to expand my network and learn from others in the industry. If you're interested in working together or just want to chat about Frontend development, please don't hesitate to reach out to me !
