Portfolio
Crazy Cup Golf
This crazy/mini golf web app is a full-stack project designed to allow users to easily create and organize real-life crazy golf events with friends. The frontend is powered by React for a dynamic user experience, while the backend leverages PHP for secure and efficient communication with the database, showcasing my proficiency in developing robust, modern web applications from concept to deployment.
Gazetteer
Gazetteer is a cross-platform web app providing a wealth of country information. It uses multiple APIs to present diverse data, from general overviews in modals to location-specific details on an interactive Leaflet map. AJAX connects to PHP back-end scripts, which use cURL to fetch data from the APIs. The JSON responses are processed and displayed in the user interface.
Company Directory
This Company Directory app provides secure database access, enabling CRUD operations via AJAX calls to PHP scripts executing SQL queries. Data integrity, especially handling dependencies during deletions, was a key design consideration. The responsive layout uses Bootstrap 5.
