This was a project that I created as part of my application process while applying for a place in the Power Coders bootcamp in Zürich, Switzerland.
It is a simple static recipe website consisting of a number of pages, a functional contact form, a custom styled privacy policy page and a very basic readme file that I build over 3 days as an additional task request by Power Coders.
I hosted the project on Netlify with it auto deploying from my GitHub repository.
These are Hackathon projects that I've been a part of together with team members.
Sith-ly the Best
An interactive Star Wars memory game created for a Code Institute 5 day hackathon. We were 7 team members
and I was elected as the Scrum Master by my peers.
This was my first experience developing within a team and
was a valuable lesson for me.
Rainbow Warriors
In the spirit of Pride we decided to construct a web application for members of the LGBTQ+ society,
which would provide a platfrom for users to view and share resources within the community such as
recommended books, movies, events and orginisations etc. We were a team of 7 members and I was elected
as Scrum Master for the project.
Unfortunately due to 2 members not participating and another
struggling with severe imposter syndrome, those of us left over were not able to complete the project.
The judges of the hackathon gave us a honourable mention in the awards webinar as they really
enjoyed our idea and valued our persistance as a team.
Lovin Summer
Lovin Summer is a joint initiative by Tourism Ireland, the Department of Foreign Affairs and the
Department of Health with the aim of promoting healthy lifestyles during the summer in Ireland by
providing inspiration and ideas for locals and visitors to explore all that our country has to offer
with a mobile first design approach. We were a team of 7 members, mostly first time participants,
and I volunteered to be Scrum Master for the project.
We were all extremely motivated
and committed to producing the best product that we could within the given 5 days
This time we
achieved 2nd place in the Hackathon.
Hack-Man
Our goal for this hackathon was to create a front-end only retro inspired game, as a team we voted and decided to create
Hack-Man which is based on the concept of Pac-Man, n arcade video game that was made by Namco and released in 1980.
We were a team consisting of 6 members, mostly first time participants that had very little experience with version control.
I volunteered to be Scrum Master for the project.
We were all extremely motivated and committed to producing the best version of the game
that we could within the given 5 days.
Starathon
Starathon is a fun interactive front-end web application presented in a quiz/trivia format. The quiz/trivia format consists of randomly selected questions based on the Star Wars franchise, in 3 difficulty levels where users can test their Star Wars knowledge. Youngling is the easy mode, Padawan is intermediate and well Grand Master speaks for itself!
The game contains lots of little sound bits from the franchise as this was one of our main goals for the project.
We were a team consisting of 5 members, mostly first time participants that had very little experience with version control.
I was nominated by my team to be Scrum Master for the project.
We had some difficulties regarding time management but otherwise given everyone's skill level, I believe that we build a rather good game in the allocated time for the project.
These are my freelance projects that I have created for clients.
Lerncare is designed to be an application which can assist teachers in Switzerland with the various stresses and challenges involved with being a teacher during these high stress times where teachers are in short supply and sometimes taking on roles which they are not necessarily prepared for, due to the shortage of qualified teachers.
This project is currently incomplete as the client is awaiting further funding in order to continue the project.
This site I built for Swiss Association of Veterinary Ophthalmologists (SAVO).
This is a simple static site that provides it's users with information about the association and how to contact them.
This site is currently live and can be viewed at the link below.
