About Mark Reyes

Web Developer based out of Southern California.

SleepScore Animated Aura

A reusable JavaScript animation I developed for web and mobile platforms. This is currently the visual centerpiece of the SleepScore App available for FREE on iOS and Android.

The fundamentals for this were based on Addy Osmani’s explanation of The Module Pattern. A developer would call the object Aura and pass in an object literal of key-values to kickstart the animation. I used gulp for build tasks such as minifying code. Then each platform could host the final build artifacts on their respective app.

Core Technologies

  • jQuery v3
  • Sass
  • Gulp

Tap Cancer Out 2020 Results

After an individual campaign of $800+ it was time to get to work.

My attempted guillotine choke fails because I’m stuck in his half guard. That nullifies my leverage to properly place him on his back to position my wrapping arm.

I started out strong but was unable to maintain a dominant series and ended the match through points. There are several personal lessons for me on this one and as long as I am of sound mind and body, I will continue to pursue my development in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.

That said, the overall event exceeded it’s goal with a final tally of $150K+. My donation page is still very much active, so please consider a donation to Tap Cancer Out which directly benefits Alex’s Lemonade Stand and their mission to change the lives of children with cancer through funding impactful research, raising awareness, supporting families, and empowering everyone to help cure childhood cancer.
