Projects
Recent Work
Open Banking API - Hazina
This project involved developing a restful API using Java (Spring Boot) which would interact with data provided by a financial institution and return a list of transactions in JSON format. On top of it, I created a simple frontend where a user could interact with the system and obtain analytics of their transactions, set monthly budgets, as well as monitor their spending habits concerning the set budget.
Music Web App - Groove Hits
Groove Hits is a music player web application (like a spotify clone) project that is developed mainly using JavaScript and Firebase as the backend service. The project essentially allows users to upload music and listen to music. Users can listen and enjoy the music uploaded by other users regardless of their auth. status. However, One must be signed in to upload music.
E-Commerce - Wol Arts
An E-commerce project built using django framework and contains all the essentials for viewing products, adding and reducing products from the cart, and updating the inventory after a purchase is completed. Non-authorized customers can view and add products to cart, but have to login/register to checkout.
