Desigining Tools for the Real World
Welcome to my About page! I’m Chris Habich, an aspiring web developer passionate about designing tools for the real world. My main focus is becoming a full-stack engineer. I recently earned my Certificate in Web Development from Code:You. I’ve learned HTML, CSS, and JavaScript for the front-end, as well as Node.js and Express for the back-end.
In addition, I’m currently expanding my skills with WordPress(this site) and React. Moreover, I also plan to learn more about databases(SQL). If you want to see examples of my work, check out my Portfolio or reach out via my Contact page. You can also check out my GitHub page to see things I’ve worked on.
My capstone project, CheMixer Pro, simplifies the math during chemical mixing. For example, it drastically reduces the chance of errors and costly mistakes. CheMixer Pro also saves all your mixes. This makes it easier to track water and chemical usage throughout the year. It also helps with re-ordering chemicals.
To avoid CORS issues, I built my own backend using Node.js and Express. Also, I created my own custom API endpoints to store pre-determined treatments. Furthermore, I used a third-party API to search the Environmental Protection Agency’s(EPA) RESTful API for product labels. In addition, all mixes are stored in a JSON file on the backend.

Front-End & Back-End Developer
My capstone project for Code:You is called CheMixer Pro. It simplifies the math during the chemical mixing process, drastically reducing the chances of an error causing a costly mistake that could kill customers lawns!
CheMixer Pro also saves all your mixes, making tracking water and chemical usage easier throughout the year and helpful when it comes to re-ordering chemicals.
To avoid CORS issues with my project, I found it easier to create my own backend using Node.js and Express. I created custom API endpoints to store pre-determined “treatments”, search the Environmental Protection Agency(EPA)’s RESTful API to search product labels, and stored all saved mixes to a JSON file on the backend.
