Some Things I've Built
Featured Project
SimRadar
Over lockdown, I designed and built a highly realistic Air Traffic Control simulation game using Typescript and Canvas.
The game is built on-top of a highly performant Canvas Game Engine I designed, and has numerous features such as a command interpreter, predictive completion and aircraft that simulate real-world procedures such as ILS approaches and VOR holds.
- Typescript
- Canvas
Featured Project
Doorpass
Doorpass was a side project built to be the safest way to manage your team’s access to their cloud services. It did this by connecting with 3rd party SASS platforms such as GitHub, AWS and Mixpanel. It then provided a standard interface to invite users, assign their permissions and also remove them in one click when the time comes. It was built on-top of a microservice driven platform writtern in Typescript.
- Node.js
- Typescript
- React
- Redux
- Docker
Featured Project
TalkLife Connect
Connect was a service that connected people with accredited therapists instantly whenever they needed to talk.
On the frontend was a simple React SPA, and the backend was a REST API is writtern in Node.js, using MondoDB, Socket.io and Redis. I also implemented Elastic Search for quick searching through old conversations. Billing powered by the Stripe API.
- Node.js
- React
- Websockets
- Elastic Search
Featured Project
TalkLife Admin
One of the larger projects I worked on at TalkLife. This is the overview and admin dashboard for all TalkLife services. The system needed to be very flexible as it plugs into a bunch of different services (such as Connect and Moderation). As well as this I also built a bunch of cool modules, such as a visualization to display live trending topics across the community.
Another cool one was the feed module, it ran posts through a ML classifier built by MIT that would automatically flag posts contain symptoms of suicidal planning, hateful speech, etc.
- Node.js
- Python
- React
- Elastic Search
