\textbf{Plan For Probate Web Portal} (May 2017)

Plan For Probate's internal web portal. Tracks clients, and tasks currently in progress. Allows for file upload and storage for important documents. Secured using Google Login, and Database encrypted to comply with GDPR. Used by the company to store and manage all ongoing tasks and client information. The web portal has replaced the previous system which used index cards to track their clients, decreasing the time spent on admin and number of errors/missed appointments.

Created in 24 hours for \href{http://www.durhack.com}{Durhack 2018}. A visual, esoteric programming language where you place nodes on a grid. Each node represents a function, and parameters move around the screen destroying each other when they collide. SharpShot was the overall runner-up from 31 total projects, and won the GitHub prize for best Dev Tool.

Each node represents a function, and parameters move around the screen annihilating each other when they collide. SharpShot was the overall runner-up from 31 total projects, and won the GitHub prize for best Dev Tool. Work continued in 2019 to convert it into a Zachtronics-esque programming game.

Created for Societies Committee, to show when rooms in the Students' Union were booked. Hosted in the cloud using a scraping API created in nodejs. Received very positive feedback from Student Groups, as previously there was no way to know which rooms were booked. Not yet in full release, but in use by a test group.
Created during my role in Student Group Governance, showing when rooms in the Students' Union were booked. Hosted in the cloud using a scraping API created with nodejs. Received very positive feedback from Student Groups, as previously there was no way to know which rooms were booked. The tool was successfully handed over to SU staff and is integrated into the official website.
