Hi there! My name is Leon Marbukh. I love building friendly, accessible, responsive web apps. I'm currently working in TypeScript, Next.js, GraphQL, and Contentful. I enjoy hiking, seeing movies at Hollywood Theatre, and spending time with my wife and daughter.

Recent Agency Work

Lygos

Lygos is a pioneering sustainable specialty chemicals company. I helped build many of the components for their company site. This project utilizes Builder.io, a headless CMS that allows editors to drag/drop content on the site without having to touch the codebase. Technologies: Next.js, TypeScript, Builder.io, Styled Components

Rev

Rev provides closed captioning, subtitles, and transcription services. I helped build the UI library with over 40+ reusable React components for Rev.com. The site uses the CMS Contentful to allow editors to update content within minutes. Technologies: Next.js, TypeScript, GraphQL, Contentful, ThemeUI

Personal Projects

Movie Fan

This is a 2023 project that I've started work on. I wanted to take some technologies I've learned in the past few years and build on them while learning some new tools I haven't used before. This app is geared towards movie buffs that want to see the latest news out of Hollywood, what movies are currently popular, what's coming out soon, as well as keep track of their watchlist. It's currently a WIP that's set aside due to work and having a baby! Technologies: Next.js, JavaScript, Tailwind, Prisma, tRPC and the external Flixster API.

Newsful

As we increasingly get our news from digital media sources, it is important to be aware of the role that bias plays in what we're reading. I know for myself and many others, we tend to only read news from sources that align with where we are on the political spectrum. I created this app that shows you how stories are reported on across conservative, liberal, and neutral news outlets. This will show how stories are reported on from different viewpoints. Technologies: React, JavaScript, Node.js, Express and the external Currents API.

Movie Night

During the Coronavirus pandemic, I was having virtual movie night parties with friends. One problem we kept having was trying to decide what to watch amongst the group. I decided to create this app that will allow everyone in the group to vote for their choice. The app will show you which movie got the most votes. You can also create lists for different nights/groups of friends. (This app has been sunsetted due to Heroku removing their free tier. You can still view the code on Github.) Technologies: React, JavaScript, Node.js, Express and the external The Movie Database API.
