Web Dev Intern, 2023

TypeScript, GraphQl, AWS Lambda, AWS Cloudwatch, Storybook, AWS DynamoDB, Jest, Datadog, Angular, Jira, Jenkins, GitHub Actions

After doing a week of work experience in 2022, I was invited back to the Silicon-Fen startup Jumptech for a 6-week paid internship in 2023 to work in their dev team. Interacting with many parts of their complex codebase, I mostly worked on the backend side of their AWS-powered application suite. As well as fixing bugs and writing automated tests, I worked to improve code quality, designed new reusable web components with Storybook, and wrote an internal TypeScript shared utilities' library. I interacted with their GraphQL API, AWS Lambda Functions, DynamoDB database and ElasticSearch database among a range of other modern technologies.

I primarily aided with the migration from Ruby on Rails to React, but also fixed bugs and contributing to architectural discussions while I volunteered on the open-source WCA website as part of the WCA Software Team. The WCA is a non-profit organisation that governs competitions for the Rubik's Cube and other twisty puzzles.

Everywhen (AKA Halcyon.Land) is a journaling and life-logging web-app project I founded in 2022. It is open-source, free to use and ad-free; it is currently in beta. Security and scalability are two of the core focuses: data is end-to-end encrypted using similar protocols as mainstream password managers, and every page is snappy whether you have 10 or 10,000 entries. Other features include images, event logging, geospatial visualisations and powerful analytics and search. You can download it from the Google Play Store, or use the web app at halcyon.land.

Oxynium

Rust, Assembly, Oxynium, Bash, Docker

Oxynium is an open-source programming language I created from the ground up in Rust. It is a statically-typed, compiled language with a syntax similar to Rust and Go. Some of its features include a powerful type system with generics, anonymous first-class functions, classes, and operator overloading.
