Project History
Bet Web App for Soccer
I developed an application where users can bet on soccer games. The back end was implemented using Node.js and Parse Server and the front end with React. The database design is currently in the project repository, and it runs over MongoDB.
Flask Soccer API
https://github.com/zahisho/flask-soccerThis is a test Flask API for a simple application where football/soccer fans can create fantasy teams and sell or buy players.
The application was developed using Flask in Python and MySQL for the database.

Add-on for a Learning Software
https://github.com/theChiefestandGreatestofCalamities/Itanki-and-Ankiego-Method-Version-2.0An add-on for a learning open-source desktop application that allows connecting the notebook with a box controlled by Arduino that opens and closes according to specific rules for fixed and variable rewards.
The add-on was written in Python using the PyQt4 library, and the Arduino source code was written in C. Communication is done with a serial-USB wire by the pySerial library.
