Hello,
Nice to meet you, I am Grégoire Vallette, junior fullstack Ruby on Rails & JavaScript developer trained @ LeWagon Paris
Other life
Live sound, music & family...
I used to be a live sound engineer for tours, festivals and events, and then to work as projects manager for a large audio rental company called Dushow. I learned projects building, as well as hiring technical teams
I still practise music as a recording and live musician, I play the bass & the guitar as an occasionnal job, self-employed
I am a fulfilled husband and father of two little girls
Memomix
Memomix is a place to bookmark, sort and enrich web content
Ruby on Rails Le Wagon end-of-batch project with Flavia Gallois and Thais Paris. Scraps URLs, allows to tag, rate and comment them, exports a reading note to PDF.
Made us practise Stimulus and Ajax requests, integrate a JS library (TS Particles), Web scrapping with Capybara, PostGreSQL search with PGSearch & Trigram...
PregWheel
An interactive pregnancy calendar
Static Single page app developed with a midwife in vanilla ES6 right after doing Mozilla Developers Network's JS, Html and CSS online course
Made me practise click & touch events, canvas, and CSS transformations for the turning wheel, JQueryUI for the datepickers, and JS date objects handling. Database is simulated by a CSV file
MyWeb
MyWeb is a 8-hour Rails challenge @LeWagon
Later after the challenge, used it to practise WebSocket through ActionCable, implementing a realtime messaging system, and Stimulus to adapt comments position, color and naming, depending on logged in user
Also made it a lab for unit and system testing with Rails MiniTest, as well as continuous integration and deployment on Heroku with Github Actions
LocalLibrary
Locallibrary is a first discovery of ExpressJS
Tutorial project from Mozilla Developers Network's ExpressJS discovery tutorial: CRUD on a local library's database
First contact with MongoDB, Mongoose, Pug and Bootstrap, as well as deployment on Heroku
Back-end
Back-end wise I had a short discovery of ExpressJS but am fully happy with Ruby on Rails
My favorite toolbox consists in Ruby first, which I like a lot (sounds like speaking...), Rails 6 of course, Active Record with PostGreSQL, and deployment on Heroku
Front-end & design
Mainly Vanilla JS, the Rails way...
I appreciate in-html css writing with Bootstrap. I speak ES6 but also like it the Rails way through Stimulus JS. Figma is my swiss knife for any work including graphic design, from prototyping to presentations and logos...
I am very much willing to learn a front-end framework such a Vue or React, as well as TailwindCSS
Tools & stuff
Contributing to make workflow smoother...
Git and Github workflow is part of what fascinated me when I discovered the developers' world (I was used to people struggling with Dropboxes)
I tend to put some Trello everywhere I need some ideas sorted, I owe a lot to MDN web docs for the first steps, and Stack Overflow is already a close friend
