Projects

Here are a few of my past personal and professional projects. I'm always building something new, so feel free to reach out to see what I'm currently working on!

PhilanthPro

This project helped advisors and their clients optimize charitable donations by calculating the ideal annual contribution based on factors like timeline, cash flows, inflation, and the time value of money. I implemented authentication and authorization with Auth0, integrated Stripe for subscription management, and contributed to the donation optimization algorithm by improving performance with WebWorkers. Additionally, I built dynamic form pages, implemented data-saving functionality, resolved bugs, and provided client support as the sole developer post-launch, balancing technical troubleshooting with relationship management.

Technologies

ProWire

This web app recreated a lightweight version of the client's mobile app, enabling users to onboard and stream live sports audio. I adapted the existing audio streaming system for the web using WebRTC and the Web Audio API, solving challenges like enabling playback through iPhone speakers for a seamless experience. Additionally, I extended the Java Spring backend to support the web app without disrupting the original mobile app's functionality.

Technologies

Course Outline Manager

I built a multi-tenant web application for universities to manage course outlines, leading development in an agile environment with sprints, stand-ups, and code reviews. I designed a robust PostgreSQL database with Prisma and deployed the app on GCP using Docker. By practicing Test-Driven Development with Jest for React and NestJS, I improved stability and reduced bugs.

Technologies

Spotify Clone

A clone of the Spotify platform that allows users to search for songs, create and share playlists, and listen to music through YouTube. I implemented the frontend with Angular and TypeScript, integrated Firebase for authentication, and deployed the app on AWS using an EC2 instance.
