An entirely front-end application developed in Babylon.js. This is a sophisticated N-body simulation designed to simulate accurate gravitational interactions between a large number of celestial bodies when paired with capable hardware. The project utilized several advanced and emerging web technologies to achieve the required performance, such as WebAssembly, WebGL rendering, and the GPGPU features of WebGL. I developed this solely for professional development and is now available as an open-source project on my GitHub.

Led the development of an application designed to allow both teachers and students to view and manage their school's timetable and subject preferences. This application was developed with an ASP.NET back end and an Angular (TypeScript) front end; all hosted on Azure. This app's reliability was critical due to the nature of how it was being used, and I worked on extensive load testing and optimization to achieve those targets. During peak season, the app would see millions of requests every hour.

In response to growing demands from clients, I helped design and build a new, event-driven microservice architecture for a complex payment platform. The platform focused on strong scalability and reliability, as it was to be used by large corporate clients.
