Charity Beer Festival App
January 2023
During my downtime in the Christmas study break, I helped the local Scouts and Guides group update their website and digitise the beer list for this year‘s Beer Festival. This involved creating a mobile-focused web app that allows users to see the tasting notes for each beer and rank it. There is then a leaderboard where users can see their top beers and how their ranking stacks up against the average.
Whilst saving paper and money, this also gives the group a greater insight into which beers were popular so they can plan the next year‘s selection accordingly. I used an older tech stack to reduce costs and allow this new app to be integrated straight into their existing WordPress site.
If you‘d like to try it for yourself, you can check it out here.

GOBI (Good or Bad Image)
September 2019 - July 2020 (A-Level Project)
GOBI is a photo organiser aimed at mobile phone galleries that ranks images with a neural network and finds ones that it deems blurry or of low quality and recommend their removal. A video demo is linked here.
This was my first stab at full-stack web development. I had to submit a (very long!) paper on a full-stack solution for my A-Level project and decided that it would be a good opportunity to explore Node JS and neural networks - two technologies I was very interested in at the time. I learned a lot about JavaScript, testing and data science and it put me in good stead for developing future ideas.
Technologies: Node JS, SQLite, Tensorflow, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, jQuery
