Experience

  • Lycee Overture Card Game Translations
    https://lycee-tcg.eu

    Lycee Overture is a Japanese trading card game that is only available in Japan in Japanese.

    My website involves a Laravel backend that automatically imports data of the cards from the official website, and attempts to automatically translate most of the Japanese text with the help of Regular Expression pattern matching and replacement.

    There's also a Vue.js front-end that allows you to browse through the list of (partially) translated cards.

  • Personal Home Page
    http://www.szeremi.org/

    My personal open-source website built with ReactJS/Redux and hand-configured Webpack. The technology used was overkill, however, I used them for the purposes of learning.
