Interactive templates

Background: for this project, I was tasked with creating web templates for my company as we wanted to shift away from PDF's and into something more web based and interactive. With the help of the web team and UX/UI designers I was given wireframes followed by feedback to code up the entire structure from scratch using C#, HTML, CSS3, JavaScript and jQuery alongside tools built into Umbraco backoffice.

This web application was also designed to give full freedom and flexibility to the content editors to design and curate content to suit their needs without having to have customization programmed in case-by-case. This was done using inbuilt tools provided by Umbraco (Block Grid editor) where I individually programmed each component for content editing based on how our PDF's are structured.

Certificate verification

Background: this was a mini project where necessary changes was required on the frontend of a pre-existing Stencil.js web component app to match new markup standards for our new website launch. The source code consists of mainly TypeScript, JavaScript, HTML, CSS and API requests.

The view was successfully updated. Alongside these changes, I was also tasked with creating a new form requesting validation for another type of certificate we offer with our courses. This was made from scratch using the inbuilt components in Stencil.js and a new query string that I created to call on existing data in the API webserver.
