A tech-recruitment platform, offering screen-capturing, live chat and much more

In the early stages of development, JobArena allows recruiters to organise technical challenges for candidates, watch live as they are solved, and git feedback in one place.
As Team Lead, I chaired meetings to prioritise new features, empower my colleagues to share ideas.
I work as a full stack developer on this project, as well as implementing dev ops features, ensuring proper testing and deployment on AWS.

A smart language learning platform, allowing users to read authentic texts, see instant translations and study vocabulary sets

My final Ironhack bootcamp project, LingoFish allows users to read authentic, foreign-language texts, obtaining instant dictionary entries for unknown words and building a learning profile.
I worked on this project in a group of three over two weeks, collaborating using git and prioritising different features to create a language learning aid.

An app connecting yoga instructors with students

A fast-typing vocab learning game

An effective vocabulary learning game based on Quizlets Gravity game, VocaBalloons tests users' speed as they type translations to stop falling balloons from crashing. this was the first project I created as part of the Ironhack bootcamp, using pure JavaScript with the P5 animation library.
