One of the first tasks I was given when I started work at Ably was to build a demo project that showcased one of their SDKs so I built Ableye. Ableye is a visualisation tool that allows a user to explore, debug and test an SDK in a visual way, rather like how the Postman API Client interacts with an API. It’s also possible to attach a Delve debugger when running Ableye to set breakpoints which can enable a developer to debug issues in realtime.

Cocktail Notebook was my final project for HarvardX CS50 Mobile Development course. It is a React Native app that lets you search for cocktail recipes. Favourite cocktails can be saved to “My Bar” where they can be viewed or deleted. Random cocktail selection is also supported. Cocktail Notebook was built ontop of https://www.thecocktaildb.com/ Here are some screenshots of the app running on an Android device. You can run Cocktail Notebook on your own mobile phone by installing the Expo app and scanning the QR code at https://expo.

Cute Pomodoro is a react native pomodoro timer app that I created. The pomodoro technique is to work for a set time (usually 25 minutes) then take a timed break before resuming work. Working in this way is said to increase productivity. My app allows the user to set time durations for both working and resting. When the app switches between work and rest modes, it plays sound and alerts the user with vibration.

Brix was my final project for my CS Course with HarvardX. I built Brix to help a local firm of architects. It is a brick dimension calculator that assists in the setting out of walls on a plan by displaying the closest coordinated brick sizes to a given dimension. It is currently deployed at https://brix2.herokuapp.com/ The source code can be viewed here on Github

Go Violin is the first web application I built from scratch in Go. I created it to help me practice my violin scales. It is currently deployed at https://go-violin.herokuapp.com/ The source code can be viewed here on Github I also wrote this article about how I built Go Violin
