Learning Management Theme

https://courses.aynrand.org
Created a website where authors can publish their courses and users can enroll and track their progress. Courses are categorized by difficulty level like a beginner, intermediate, and advanced. Users can also add bookmarks on different points on lesson videos which can be accessed later from their account. I set it up so that the site admin can see the overall progress and how many courses were subscribed by a user, how many lessons were completed, lesson progress by percentage, and more.

REST APIs for a Mobile App

I used WordPress REST APIs to create APIs for a learning management website and a mobile app. This API is able to do everything that can be done from the website itself. Some examples of what I implemented are user registration, login, enrollment for courses, tracking progress, downloading audio and video, updating user information, and searching for courses.

Migrated Website from Sitecore CMS to WordPress

Worked as a full-time developer to migrate three massive websites from Sitecore CMS to WordPress. It was very challenging to understand the database structure that Sitecore CMS uses and then write code to import those data for WordPress. It took several months to get everything up and running smoothly, but it was well worth it.

Curriculum Management

Back in 2016, I got this project from "Al Batinah International School." They had an existing curriculum management system that was buggy, so they asked me to develop the entire system from scratch.

Key features:
1. Display curriculum calendar based on selected grade or subject.
2. Teachers or students can browse the calendar from week 1 to week 52 for the current academic year.
3. Teachers or students can view the details for a particular week just by clicking on the item.
4. Teachers have the ability to edit anything from the front end.
5. Teachers can reschedule any class without overlaps with other classes.
6. Full-year academic calendar can be downloaded as a PDF just by hitting the download button.

I also wrote scripts to import existing data from the old curriculum system to this newly developed one.
