My Projects
ReSignal
Built out of necessity, a simple Signal-like interface for old messages.
ReSignal emerged from a common struggle among my circle—losing precious conversations during device switches. This project simplifies revisiting those memories, providing a Signal-like environment right on your computer, complete with message threads, attachments, and a smooth UI, making it easy to comfortably scroll through past conversations as if it were still on your device. It's not perfect, it's more of a workaround honestly, but I had fun doing it, and it solved the problem for my circle.
See it yourself!Rediss
Peeling back the layers of in-memory databases and Redis.
Creating Rediss, I stepped into database design, using Redis as a model and Go as my tool. This personal challenge led me through the intricacies of managing TCP servers, decoding RESP protocols, and exploring AOF persistence techniques, as well as finally taking on learning Go concurrency. I took on challenges such as setting up a monorepo, defining a Makefile for the project, and delving deep into several codebases to find other solutions to the problems I was facing. As a result, I gained a deeper understanding of the complexities of databases and the intricacies of Redis.
See it yourself!Bazaar
A feature-rich online marketplace.
Bazaar is a comprehensive online marketplace that provides users with the ability to create accounts, post products, search for items based on filters, add items to their cart, and complete a simulated checkout process. In addition, users can review their previous orders and manage their profile and payment information. The platform was developed using a range of technologies, including React TypeScript, Tailwind, and NestJS, and leverages various libraries to deliver a seamless and efficient development experience. Additionally, I leveraged Figma to create a wireframe for the platform. Bazaar was my first team project where I worked with other developers to create a more expansive website than what I could create on my own. The experience taught me vital communication and team building skills.
See it yourself!Grizzly Cafe
A basic online cafe interface.
The Grizzly Cafe is a pseudo-local cafe's website, where I utilized Google Lighthouse and learned how to effectively optimize a website to be more performant and accessible.
See it yourself!Polychrome
A versatile color palette generator.
Polychrome is a custom color palette generator that offers a range of versatile algorithms. This innovative tool took me three months to build entirely from scratch. By incorporating TypeScript and PostCSS, I streamlined the development process to be efficient and accessible. In order to create the most effective algorithms, I dedicated significant time to studying color theory and delving into the intricacies of color interactions. Additionally, I personally designed and crafted all the scalable vector graphics (SVGs), including the logo and icons. Furthermore, I made sure to optimize the website for seamless responsiveness on mobile devices.
See it yourself!NeoVim Alpine
A fully fleshed out NeoVim configuration, completely containerized.
During my endeavor with the NeoVim Alpine Project, I delved deeply into the multifaceted world of containerization. This immersive experience not only enabled me to master the intricacies of NeoVim within an Alpine environment but also provided a profound understanding of language servers, which I integrated seamlessly using lazy.nvim. My journey further enhanced my expertise in Docker, allowing me to craft optimized images and harness the capabilities of docker-compose. I explored the lightweight and resource-efficient Alpine Linux distribution, ensuring a streamlined and powerful backend. To elevate the project's front-end experience, I unearthed and adeptly implemented a range of NeoVim plugins, further optimizing its functionality. Central to this project's success was my deep dive into the Lua language, which I utilized to sculpt a superior and user-friendly NeoVim configuration.
See it yourself!Slipstream
A self-hosted video platform.
Slipstream stands as an open-source, self-hosted video streaming platform that combines video optimization with a range of robust features. The platform allows users to conveniently upload and share videos and images using unique links. Notably, it's an ongoing project with development efforts aimed at introducing x264 conversion for web optimization and x264 + HLS conversion for streaming. Of special interest is the implementation of a retention policy, automatically removing videos based on view count or specific date/time criteria. Upcoming enhancements encompass diverse aspects such as media customization, playlist management, and embedding capabilities. In this collaborative effort, our team consisted of two developers, the platform's owner, and myself. I took on a significant role in frontend development, particularly with Vue.js. Through this experience, I enriched my Vue.js skills and played a vital part in revitalizing the user interface, ultimately enhancing the overall user experience.
