Project History
Student Portal
A Vue and Firebase-based web application for students to view their results, competitive grading, and information in an organization.
The app was built for a government organization in India that allows students to view their results and short marks based on the desired grading, and to have all the information related to their course in one place. Admins can also manage the content, marks, courses, and students on the portal. The app's back end was powered by Firebase BaaS, while hosting and authentication were implemented using Firebase. Finally, the application state is managed with Vuex, a state management library for Vue.

SDG Application
https://socialcops.com/case-studies/undp-png-tracking-business-contribution-sdgs/An SDG application that I developed, designed, and prototyped for three countries.
Clients could view all the data in various domains to understand where their country lies on the sustainable development goal achievement scale. Content strategists could also manage the content to specify the data important to their country. The app included information pages to read every possible indicator of the goals and a dashboard with maps and charts to analyze the data indicators for each goal.

Project Manager
A React-based web application for managing projects and their tasks. I was the solo developer, bringing the app from conception to launch by utilizing the Tailwind CSS for an amazing look and feel and making it easy for personal project management.
Query Builder
A query builder that I created where users could query data without needing prior knowledge of SQL using a simple drag-and-drop.
The users could apply filters or aggregations, and queries could be saved to be used again or converted to raw SQL. Users could also always see the time the queries took and abort midway. Data had an infinite scroll for less memory consumption and faster server response. It could also be shared safely, and multiple teams could collaborate on a project on the same query. It was a reusable component and helped 300+ data engineers collaborate on data.

Release Manager Application
A release manager application to manage various product release versions and help the DevOps team decide based on their specific needs.
I researched and studied 40+ products to understand the conventional and unconventional ways of gathering infrastructure for the applications. I worked with the DevOps teams to narrow down the requirements and design an alpha version. I also developed the application to later onboard a team to build it further.
