60-second pitch
I built a search UI on top of a public API and focused on the parts recruiters notice: feedback while loading, useful empty states, and readable results.
About the project
During the Capace internship I needed a project that proved I could work with asynchronous data, not only static layouts. Users search Pokémon by name; the app fetches from an external API and renders cards with consistent spacing and hierarchy.
Outcome
Deployed demo on Netlify that I can walk through in under a minute: search → loading → results → no-results state.
What I focused on
- Debounced-style search interaction against live API data
- Explicit loading and empty-state messaging
- Responsive result grid
What I learned
- Structuring async UI states (loading, success, empty, error)
- Keeping fetch logic separate from presentation components
- Designing result cards for quick scanning
