Fishing Bro is a website that I developed. It uses factors such as weather, barometric pressure, rain intensity, time of day, month, moon phase, temperature and wind to calulate the chance of catching different kinds of fish. The page was developed using React and it took a week due to the formulas complexity.

Pint Tracker was a university group project that uses NextJS and Firebase. I acted as the lead UI Developer and Scrum Master for a team of 6. Pint Tracker allows users to make an account ( using firebase secure authentication ) and then add pints as they drink them. You can select from over 500 different pints using our suggestive search box. We then provide statistics, charts and leaderboards for users and their friends.
