Learning Through Building

A growing collection of projects that demonstrate curiosity, adaptability, independent learning, and a continuous-improvement mindset.

Featured Project

Building NickShadle.com

I designed, built, and deployed this website to showcase my professional experience while expanding my technical skills. Although software development is not my primary profession, this project demonstrates the same curiosity, adaptability, problem-solving, and continuous-improvement mindset that I have applied throughout my manufacturing career.

Why it matters: Building this site required me to learn unfamiliar tools, troubleshoot technical problems, manage changes through GitHub, and improve the final product through repeated testing and refinement. Those same abilities directly support my work in operations, manufacturing, and process improvement.
