Here are some of my projects

  • Bakery Company

    Html, CSS, Javascript

    Rustic Acres Baked Creations is a multi-page business website built for a local bakery to showcase their product offerings and drive customer engagement. Features dedicated pages for each product category (cookies, cakes, cakepops, cupcakes), responsive design for mobile and desktop, and clean navigation for an intuitive browsing experience. Currently in active development with a full e-commerce checkout feature in progress. Built with HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript.

  • Free to play Games

    React, Html, CSS, Javascript

    PLAYFREE is a React-powered game discovery platform that connects users with free-to-play titles across multiple platforms. The application integrates with the FreeToGame API to deliver real-time data on 500+ games, featuring search filtering by genre and platform, alphabetical sorting, paginated results, and detailed game pages with system requirements. Built with React, React Router, and Axios, deployed on GitHub Pages.

  • Skinstric AI Internship

    Next.js 16, React 19, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS 4, CSS Modules, Vercel

    Built a multi-step AI skincare quiz where users enter their info, then upload a selfie via camera capture or gallery. The app encodes the image to base64 and proxies it through a Next.js API route to Skinstric's machine learning endpoint, which returns demographic predictions (race, age, sex) with confidence scores displayed on an interactive analysis dashboard. I also built an environmental factors page that pulls live weather data based on the user's location, showing air quality index, pollutant breakdowns, UV index with safe exposure time, pollen levels, season detection, and climate zone classification. State persists across all steps via localStorage, with smooth loading animations and real-time camera access through the getUserMedia API.

  • Frontend Simplified Internship

    React, Typsecript, JavaScript, CSS

    A Next.js web application built as part of an advanced internship project. Bootstrapped with create-next-app using the App Router, it leverages automatic font optimization with Geist and supports hot-reloading for a smooth development workflow. The project is structured for modern full-stack web development and is deployment-ready on Vercel.
