Chris Bourgeonnier

Hello and Welcome

After years working in education as a teacher and a Bachelor’s degree in Interior Design, I transitioned to programming to become a FullStack Engineer, specialized in Ruby and Rails. I am passionate about creating beautiful and functional applications that solve real-world problems.

Chris' Blog

A blog app about AI and stuff

Based on the GoRails blog project, it runs on Ruby/Rails, with gems like Devise (authentication), pagy (pagination), vips (active storage image processor), action_text (to edit rich text) and TailwindCSS styling. The website was hosted on Render with a PostGreSQL database, and AWS S3 storage.

GIF Search

A Giphy GIF Searcher

A small app built with React letting you search for fun GIFs with the Giphy API. Enter your keyword, and see a list of related GIFs appear without the page refreshing. You can also select one GIF to display it in larger size.

French City Finder

A search app that filters the French cities and departments matching your search input

The filtering app uses AJAX to asynchronously update a list of suggestions without reloading the page. The data comes from a JSON file with over 10,000 French cities.

Totoro Timer

A customizable Pomodoro timer

I figured I could make my own timer rather than using others' ones. This one has a Totoro twist, times (and background!) can be customized. Feel free to use it!

Over 100 quotes from the self-proclaimed "World's Best Boss"

AI Summarizer

A text summarizing app using AI

This project was built for a Postman API certification. It turns text up to 100,000 characters long into a 100-character summary. It was written with Replit, used an API created with Postman, and the Hugging Face AI.
