An Umbraco content management system. As the front-end engineer on the project, I created responsive and interactive HTML, CSS, and JavaScript components. These components were then integrated into Umbraco Razor templates, giving the client a great degree of flexibility in presenting their content.

An Umbraco content management system built for Fire Service College. As the front-end engineer on the project, I created responsive and interactive components, which were then integrated into Umbraco Razor templates. A highlight of this project is the homepage banner, which was built using the GSAP animation library and features an on-scroll presentation.

An Umbraco content management system built for Royal Berkshire NHS Foundation Trust. As the front-end engineer on the project, I built responsive and interactive components with a strong focus on accessibility. These components were then converted into Umbraco Razor templates, providing great flexibility in how the client could present content.

An Umbraco content management system. As the front-end engineer on the project, I created the site's HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and jQuery code. I also integrated the front-end code into Umbraco Razor templates and used them in the CMS. This project had a fair amount of scope for creativity, and I worked closely with the designer to ensure the final product fully expressed the client's talents as a photographer.

A Vue 3 application designed to dynamically display and manage a customizable list of widgets fetched from a remote API. As the front-end developer, I implemented a user-friendly interface that allows users to personalize widget attributes such as links, colors, and activation states. Leveraging Pinia for state management ensured a seamless experience while Zod provided type-safe schema validation, enhancing the integrity of the data fetched from the API.

A custom patch for enabling Overwatch 2 gameplay on Apple Silicon Macs using CrossOver. As the developer behind this project, I leveraged the latest versions of MoltenVK and DXVK to ensure seamless integration and performance compatibility. This comprehensive solution guides users through the installation process, detailing step-by-step instructions to install CrossOver and Overwatch, as well as how to apply the patch effectively.

I also addressed potential user concerns by providing troubleshooting tips, known issues, and enhancements to improve the gaming experience, such as mouse acceleration adjustments and settings modifications. The patch was designed with usability in mind, incorporating formatted commands and clear system requirements to help users navigate the installation smoothly. Additionally, I created supplementary tools for users on older macOS versions to mitigate compatibility challenges.

Overall, this project demonstrates my ability to develop practical solutions that enhance user experience, particularly in complex gaming environments on Mac systems.

The AI-powered Bookmark Manager is an application designed to help organize and retrieve web bookmarks using AI technology. The main focus was on developing features that can be accessed through natural language queries, leveraging OpenAI's language models, and ensuring seamless integration with ChromaDB for efficient bookmark storage and retrieval.

The application showcases a robust set of features, like AI-generated summaries, which automatically create succinct descriptions of bookmarked sites, and smart categorization, which organizes bookmarks into logical categories. It employs a vector search mechanism to interpret and act upon natural language queries intuitively, making it easier for users to find their bookmarks without remembering exact keywords or URLs.

A Chrome extension that uses AI to automatically categorize and organize browser bookmarks. I developed both the front-end React/TypeScript interface and the back-end Node.js API. I integrated OpenAI's GPT models to analyze webpage content and metadata for intelligent categorization. I implemented Chrome Extension APIs for bookmark management and created a web scraping system with Cheerio to extract metadata, enhancing AI categorization accuracy. The extension features automated folder organization, customizable sorting options, and a responsive design with dark mode support.
