Java / Android Studio

The idea for this project came to me while catching up with a mate. She kept having to reopening youTube for her kid who was continuously touching ads. This project is great example of what can be done using the overlay permission.

Atch.js

TypeScript

Atch.js is a JavaScript library that I designed to manage form file attachments. It extends the use of HTML5's input element with type file by giving users the ability to add,remove and preview multiple files. It also has the option to water mark and compress images before sending form data.

NZ North Itinerary

Vue.js

Killing two birds with one stone, I made this webpage to learn Vue.js and plan for my upcoming holiday at the same time. In this project I also demonstrate the use of Google Maps API and Spotify's Web API.

SVG Animation

This project demonstrates my incredible vector illustration skills. I used my special case dog "Ziggy" as my muse and brought her to life using svg animations to show off her quirky attributes.

Data Visualisation

D3.js

I've found D3.js is an exceptional tool to have my developer tool belt. I often use it sort data and create dynamic graphs that are scalable. This example shows how easy it to create dynamic line and bar graphs.
