I developed this blogging application independently, handling both the frontend and backend development.

Technology Stack: React, Express, Node.js, MySQL

Functionalities:

  • User registration and sign-in
  • Authors can create, edit, and delete blog posts.
  • Logged-in users can write, edit, and delete comments
  • Authors can manage all posts

Ongoing Improvements:

  • Code restructuring to reduce duplication and break larger files into smaller, manageable ones
  • Addition of comprehensive automated tests
  • Enhanced documentation
  • Integration of filters, search options and subcategories

Initially, I had completed this project using MongoDB,For the MongoDB version of the codebase, please visit this GitHub repository.

DentalEasePro

Visit DentalEasePro

A fully functional web application that automates the daily tasks of a dental supplier. I developed this in collaboration with Modeste Ciira, working together on both the frontend and backend. This project demonstrates my ability to effectively collaborate within a team.

Since the site contains the supplier's personal data, login is required. Here is a demonstration of the web app via a video, showcasing its features before deployment and further improvements requested by the supplier.

Technology Stack: Python (Flask), MySQL, HTML, CSS, JavaScript

Functionalities:

  • Customer and Product Management: Allows the dental supplier to easily access, add, and remove clients and products, enhancing operational efficiency. The web app replaces traditional record-keeping methods with a modern, efficient solution for a smooth user experience.
  • Invoice Creation: Enables the supplier to generate invoices by selecting a customer, specifying products and quantities, setting a due date, and recording payments. A warning is triggered if the selected quantity exceeds available stock, ensuring accuracy in both invoicing and inventory management.
  • Generate Statements: Allows the supplier to review all pending invoices, filter by customer ID or name, and generate statements with ease by clicking the "Generate Statement" button.

This application has significantly impacted the supplier's business. Although we developed it as a team of two, I am solely responsible for maintenance, updates, and adding new features. I also hosted the app, which is currently active.
