From Fixing Machines to Building Software

Problem

Students lacked a centralized, offline-capable tool to track academic terms, courses, and assessments, leading to missed deadlines.

Solution

Built a native Xamarin.Forms mobile app with local SQLite storage and a robust notification engine for assessment reminders.

Impact

Delivered a reliable personal organization tool that functions without internet, ensuring students never miss critical academic milestones.

Problem

Students and educators need a centralized, cloud-based academic management system with real-time synchronization, secure authentication, advanced analytics (weighted GPA calculations, grade projections), and professional reporting capabilities that goes beyond basic offline tracking.

Solution

Architected and deployed a production-grade three-tier enterprise application: Backend RESTful ASP.NET Core Web API (.NET 8) with JWT authentication, Entity Framework Core ORM, normalized relational data model; Frontend cross-platform .NET MAUI client (.NET 9) implementing MVVM pattern; Infrastructure deployed to Azure App Service with Azure SQL Database, automated CI/CD pipeline, and interactive Swagger API documentation; Comprehensive test suite with 30+ automated unit tests using xUnit, Moq, and FluentAssertions, achieving 100% pass rate.

Impact

Delivered an enterprise-grade academic management platform demonstrating senior-level engineering practices: Fixed critical weighted GPA calculation bug through test-driven development, implementing credit-hour-based formula; Achieved complete database isolation for parallel test execution; Designed RESTful API with standardized error handling and comprehensive Swagger documentation; Successfully deployed and maintained in production Azure environment with 99.9% uptime; Built scalable three-tier architecture enabling independent scaling of presentation, business logic, and data layers; Implemented secure JWT-based authentication with role-based access control.

Problem

Aspiring developers found it difficult to bridge the gap between mechanical intuition and abstract software systems.

Solution

Created a modular learning platform with server-side rendering and narrative-driven labs that simulate real DevOps scenarios.

Impact

Accelerated learning for visual thinkers by mapping code concepts to tangible, real-world engineering problems.

Tech Stack

Problem

Developers and researchers struggled to identify the technologies powering websites, requiring manual inspection and guesswork.

Solution

Built a web application that automatically analyzes websites using public APIs to detect frameworks, libraries, backend languages, and hosting platforms.

Impact

Provides instant, accurate tech stack detection, saving hours of manual research for developers analyzing competitors or learning from industry examples.

Tech Stack

Problem

Linux users switching between Debian and Red Hat-based systems faced confusion due to command syntax differences, leading to errors and frustration.

Solution

Created an interactive learning tool with a split-view IDE that allows side-by-side comparison of commands across distributions with instant feedback.

Impact

Accelerates learning and reduces mistakes by providing hands-on practice with real-world command differences in a safe, educational environment.

Problem

Tourism websites often fail to guide users effectively from discovery to conversion, lacking clear user journey mapping and conversion-oriented design.

Solution

Designed and built a multi-page responsive tourism website with clear navigation hierarchy, strategic call-to-action placement, and user authentication flow, prioritizing mobile-first layout for travelers browsing on the go.

Impact

Applied UX principles like information architecture and visual hierarchy to create a user-centric experience that guides vacation travelers from discovery to signup, demonstrating the value of persona-driven design.
