WEBSTACKS 3D COVER LETTER
Because the tech-job market was hurting, and I am a self-taught developer, I decided to build something to help me stand out. In just 23 days, I built a 3D web experience dedicated to a company whom I really wanted to work for (Webstacks). I used all of their favorite tech, posted it to LinkedIn, submitted it along with my job application, and crossed my fingers.
Goal
Think out of the box to land a career role. Use this project to impress the team at Webstacks and ultimately earn a job as a React Engineer. In the process, I'd enjoy getting more experience with headless CMS.
Project Features
Webstack's design elements, methodology, and job description expanded upon to illustrate how I'd fit in
React for extensible components & state management
Next.js for static rendering & SEO friendliness
DatoCMS for headless content hydration
GraphQL for backend communication
Vercel for cloud-based hosting
React-Three/Fiber for unique 3D experience
Sass for CSS management
Handmade 3D .gltf models
Easter egg in console.log() 😉
Outcome
Time will tell! As of today, Dec. 27, 2022, I'm still in the throes of the career search. I've always known that I'll bring my all to the table wherever I end up. Now I'm glad to have made a project that I believe communicates this well.
