Employment
Experience
- Nobel Radio Contest
Nobel Radio needed a web application for a photo contest. The application's main function was to enable people to upload a picture of their bedroom while allowing others to vote those pictures, count up all the votes and finally declare a winner.
The application was developed using PHP (CodeIgniter) for the back-end and JavaScript for the front-end for a better user experience. - MBHS School Management System
MBHS, a local school in my area, had a school management system already in use but it was lacking some important functionality; the portal was built using Laravel and Vue js.
I contributed to the development of the portal, adding the functionality needed by both the school administrators and the teachers and also extending the functionality already available in the application. - Jive Inventory System
Jive created a product, a school management portal and needed a way to track the school installs, revenue, number of students using it, and other data.
The Jive Inventory System application was created using Laravel and Vue.js; it enabled investors, employees and Jive admins to monitor how well their product was doing. It included access control so that the data was obscured based on user hierarchy. - eCommerce Comparison Apphttps://awoof-laravel.herokuapp.com/
A Laravel-based application to compare electronic products from different online vendors based on the user's selected preferences.
I was the full-stack developer. I scrapped data of three eCommerce websites using Goutte and manipulated their data to be displayed according to users' preferences. I made the application easily extensible by storing the scraper configuration for each website in a JSON file. - Full User Authentication and Access Control: A Laravel Passport Tutorial, Pt. 1 (Publication)Setting up authentication and state in a stateless API context might seem somewhat problematic. But Laravel Passport gives developers a clean, straightforward way to add OAuth 2.0 to an app's API.
