My Projects

A typing speed game built using React and Bootstrap on the frontend, and ExpressJS on the backend. The database used is PostgreSQL. The game has live chat functionality between online users. It uses the Google Maps API to show top user locations on a map, and uses a random text generator API to display sentences for the game in realtime.

An online ecommerce store built with Ruby on Rails, using the Model-View-Controller, RESTful design patterns, OOP design principles, and Active Record. SQLite was used as the RDBMS, and user authentication functionality was implemented.

A full stack web application built with Node and Express that allows users to shorten long URLs. This application creates and utilizes cookies using cookie-session, as well as password encryption using bcrypt. The frontend was designed using Bootstrap.

A React based web application that allows users to book/modify/delete appointments with an interviewer of their choice. Storybook was used to create components. Jest and Cypress were used for unit and integration testing. Deployed using Netlify.

Front-end of Amazon built using React. Deployed using Google Firebase.

A single-page Twitter clone that allows users to create and post new tweets. HTML, CSS, JS, jQuery and AJAX used for a responsive frontend design, with Node, Express and MongoDB used for the backend.

A sneaker store site that allows users to buy different sneakers and send messages to the seller. PostgreSQL was used as the RDBMS with Node.js for the backend. The frontend was created using Javascript, jQuery, ejs, and CSS.
