Portfolio
In my time at university, I was involved in two projects which both involved producing mobile based applications - StuBank and FocusFlow.
Please note that both applications were intended for mobile use and may not load correctly in certain browsers.
- StuBank
- FocusFlow
In my second year, I managed and led the development of StuBank - a responsive mobile banking application aimed at students as part of a group project using Vue.js, Ionic Framework, Google Firebase and Node.js. This stack allowed us to produce a fast, responsive mobile application that also functioned as a PWA from the same codebase.
For my final year project, I designed and developed a time management and organisation mobile application as part of my dissertation, focussing on usability and Human Computer Interaction principles in order to deliver a responsive, engaging user experience (UX). The project involved implementing Nielsen's usability principles to ensure the application was well laid out and functional, as well as providing feedback to users. Overall this resulted in a very user friendly experience and the project was a huge success.
