Experiences
Thea     Full Stack Developer     Contract
Apr 2022 - Present
Technology

  • It's the next phase of a prior project, AIBuddy, and I'm still deeply involved with the tech/skills I've used at that time (REST, Django, JavaScript, Electron, & Tensorflow Js).
  • I work in a team to follow a design specification and implement it using Bootstrap in Electron. Bootstrap allows me to design and follow the specification quickly, focusing on things that matter.
  • To improve the amount of control I have over the implementation, I work directly with HTML, JavaScript, and CSS alongside the available framework.
  • The project will also expand the previous version's database and API (Django & REST) to handle new data and to implement user management.
  • Mac Application Development process is necessary to deploy the app for macOS in the Mac App Store. Specifically, I deal with certification, signing, provisioning, & entitlements of the app.

Skills used: REST, JavaScript, Mac Application Development, Django, Electron, Bootstrap, HTML


AI Buddy     AIBuddy     Full Stack Developer     Contract
Oct 2021 - Feb 2022
Technology

  • Django let me made a reactive website complete with its database management without the hassle of micromanaging every other aspect of a website.
  • REST (DRF) allow me to design versatile APIs for external communication with the website, from streaming webcam image, various type of statistics, log user historical data, and multi-user management.
  • Using Electron, I can turn my web dev skills such as JavaScript, JQuery, and AJAX to develop a native app across different platforms. It increases my focus on the functionality rather than the OS.
  • Tensorflow library on Python gives me a lot of freedom in implementing my ideas for Machine Learning system. Here we're implementing Emotion and Posture recognition.

Skills used: Machine learning, REST, JavaScript, Django, Electron, Tensorflow, Python


Personal     Automatic Fish Feeder with Smartphone Interface     Developer     Passion Project
Apr 2021 - Jul 2021
Food and Agriculture

  • It's a project to develop a high-capacity automatic fish feeder to be put in place in a local fish farm. It uses web app as its interface, and a servo to actuate.
  • The 3D modeling or design process is done using Fusion 360 CAD (Autodesk). Key features: 3D-printed and able to use any plastic bottle as its reservoir.
  • The main system is a NodeMCU, microcontroller similar to Arduino with wireless functionality. The software is developed using Arduino IDE.
  • The interface is a web app, hosted by the NodeMCU as an access point. The web app is developed using Bootstrap, HTML, CSS, and Javascript.
  • Several technical considerations: Cost and ease of assembly, the web app needs to be small, both the servo and the controller needs to be powered by a common phone adaptor.

Skills used: CSS, Arduino, 3D modeling, JavaScript, Autodesk, Bootstrap, HTML
