Experience

CRWN Clothing

CRWN Clothing is an online clothing store created with React and Redux on front end and Firebase as a back-end service. Users can create an account and log in with an email and password or a Google account. They can navigate between pages and see different types of products based on various categories. Chosen products can be added to a checkout basket, which can be edited by adding or removing products. Finally, users can check out the products and pay for them using Stripe.

Restaurant Review

The web application has two main roles, an admin and a user. Admins can add, remove, edit, and review restaurants and users. Users can see and review restaurants in a five-star review process and see restaurants based on their scores.

Unity Game

This mobile game was made with Unity and C#. It can be compiled both on desktop and mobile. I developed it while completing a game development course that I purchased on Udemy. I learned a lot about 2D game development and how Unity works.
