Hello, I'm Parker
I'm Parker Lemus, a dedicated full stack web developer based in San Diego, with a degree in Web Development. My enthusiasm for JavaScript, React, and other web technologies drives me to create efficient, user-friendly, and accessible web solutions. Simply put, I get a kick out of seeing things work well. When I’m not coding, learning, or building I’m cycling around town or making music on a synthesizer.
My Projects
Joe Godfrey – Headless WordPress Site
A fast, accessible, statically generated (SSG) Astro frontend powered by a headless WordPress backend via the WordPress REST API. Features custom content types (built with Advanced Custom Fields and Pods), full‑text search, responsive galleries, Mailchimp newsletter, Cloudflare Turnstile spam protection, and webhook-driven content updates.
Matchbox Car Catalog
A modern Angular app to catalog Matchbox cars with images, built on Firebase (Firestore + Storage) with real-time updates, SSR-ready setup, and a clean, component-driven UI.
Mee Heng Low Noodle Shop
A custom website for a historic Chinese restaurant in San Luis Obispo, featuring online ordering, menu management, and responsive design to enhance customer engagement and streamline operations.

An intelligent cheeseboard planning tool that helps users create perfect cheese pairings. Inspired by my previous CheeseApp UX research project, this full-stack application provides smart recommendations for complementary cheeses and accompaniments based on flavor profiles, milk types, and regional characteristics.
CoffeeCo Roasters
An e-commerce website for a fictional coffee roaster. Built dynamically with PHP, the site features a custom shopping cart and PayPal sandbox integration for secure transactions.
