Power Pilot Site

Date: December 2023 - January 2024

Project Type: Website

This is a website I developed during my internship at Electronet. The site is now live and serves as the primary platform for displaying information about their PowerPilot Product. My main task was to redesign the site, focusing on general improvements and a fresh, modern design. The goal was to enhance user experience and ensure the site effectively communicated the benefits and features of PowerPilot. Through this project, I gained valuable experience in web development, working closely with the Electronet team to align the design with the company's vision and user needs.

WCEPT Site

Date: February 2024

Project Type: Website

This is a website I developed nearing the end of my internship at Electronet in early 2024 for the West Coast Electric Power Trust. The old site was outdated and needed a fresh, modern look. During the planning phase of this project, I had discussions with the management team responsible for the old site. Using the insights and information gathered from these discussions, I was able to design and create a site that met their needs and expectations. This project allowed me to showcase my ability to translate client requirements into a functional and visually appealing website, enhancing the overall user experience and aligning with the Trust's branding.

REACTJS Petition App

Date: April-June 2024

Project Type: Web App

This is a web app I developed both the front end and back end for during my web application course. For the back end of the site, I created a RESTful API server to handle requests from the user, which acted as the server for the petition app. The front end was developed using React JS and designed by me.The project spanned two assignments. In Assignment 1, I implemented the RESTful API, focusing on the server-side functionality, including database integration and user authentication. This API provided the necessary endpoints for creating, managing, and signing petitions. You can find more details in the attached Assignment 1 document found below.

In Assignment 2, I developed the web client using React, ensuring it communicated effectively with the API I created earlier. This phase included implementing user stories that covered various functionalities, from petition creation to user interaction. The focus was on user experience, robustness, and visual appeal, which are outlined in the Assignment 2 document​ found below.

More context and details about the implementation can be found in the attached files.

OpenGl2 Ray Tracer

Date: May-June 2024

Project Type: OpenGl Scene

In my RayTracer scene, I have a room with 6 plains of different colours, the floor is chequered green and red. I have two mirrors in the room, one on the opposite wall to the camera and one behind the camera, this creates a parallel mirror effect. There are four spheres and one cylinder in the scene (the cylinder has a cap). One sphere is transparent with a red tint, this is sitting above a blue cylinder that is reflective. There is a blue sphere in the back left that is also reflective. On the far right is a sphere that is refractive, to the left and below that is a non reflective green sphere. There are three different lights in the scene, one spot light and two light sources. The spot light is sitting above the transparent sphere and cylinder pointing straight down, you can see its effect on the floor below it along with the shadows made from it. The two other light sources are on the left and right of the camera on the roof, this creates two shadows for each object in the room as well as multiple reflections/specular highlights for the objects.
