An advertising platform wanted to replace an old analytics platform with a modern React application that pulled information from their brand new API. Since the data sets were non-trivial and needed to be summarized into various views, the app made extensive use of redux and sagas. Some views required database queries that the API was not yet capable of, so I added endpoints to the Node.js Feathers back end and add that functionality to the API.

A luxury resort wanted to relaunch their website with a map view showing what is on offer on their premises. I rebuilt their website using React and Next.js and added the map view. This is powered by the GoogleMaps JavaScript API and allows clicking on buildings to get more information about them below.

Ery-API is a Node.js-based CLI tool to give you quick access to the API calls you're looking for and it performs the OAuth flow for authorization with all Google APIs.

The idea is to never have to read API Docs again. Give it a go with:
npm i ery-api -g

The business I was working for wanted to implement a 360-degree feedback platform, where no off-the-shelf solution did exactly what was required, so I built an app using Firebase and React that would allow users to pick the people they requested feedback from, collected this feedback, allowed managers to summarize it, and to ultimately set goals for each employee that were tracked over time; GCP and Google Cloud functions are used. Thanks to Firebase's real-time DB, comments were shared instantly across open tabs, which was important for the quick completion of the feedback cycle.

For a business I worked for, I created a Dialogflow based HR chatbot that allowed our team to get quick answers to questions like: "How do I submit an expense?", "How many holidays do I have left?", "What is our policy on XXX?", etc. I integrated it into a slackbot to give everyone in the business fast answers to questions on how we do things.

I built a server that allows you to snooze emails, but forwarding an email to, for example, "3hours@snoozethat.com" or "3nov3pm@snoozethat.com" and getting a reply in the same email chain at the specified time. This helped our customer service team stay on top of customer accounts when delayed actions/follow-ups were required (This was before Gmail introduced the snooze function).

I built a platform that helps you learn a language by translating an epub e-book word-for-word. This allows you to read a book in a language you are learning and always having the translation available if you don't know a word in it. The tool will also pronounce the word for you if you tap it and show you further information, such as the conjugation if it is a verb. As this was a Progressive Web App, it allowed you to read the books when you were offline.

I built a tool that used a service worker to build a Progressive Web App that would work offline. The tool was designed to help you keep track of your tasks by allowing you to snooze tasks until the time came to take care of them.

I built an ERP tool for an art gallery that needed to track where certain pieces of art were stored, who had enquired/bid/purchased them and what invoices/communications were logged against them. The tool also had a front-end component that acted as the gallery's online presence.
