UI/UXWeb Design and DevelopmentBackend Development
My personal website was built completely from scratch using HTML, CSS,
and JavaScript – no templates or frameworks. It serves as an evolving
digital portfolio showcasing my academic journey, technical projects,
and growing cybersecurity interests.
Designed a clean, modern UI/UX to reflect my identity as a developer
and security-focused builder
Implemented category-based filtering system with interactive project
views
Developed a responsive layout for accessibility across all devices
Continuously updated to reflect latest projects, achievements, and
experience
This site is not just a portfolio – it’s a creative canvas that combines
form, function, and storytelling to represent my growth as a developer
and cybersecurity candidate.
R&Z Massage – Business Website 🌿
UI/UXWeb DevelopmentIntegration
I designed and developed a website for a local massage therapist
business in King’s Lynn. The goal was to create a
calm, modern, and functional online presence where
clients can learn about services and easily book appointments.
✨ The site reflects the therapist’s gentle, client-focused approach
while improving accessibility and professionalism.
🚀 Features
Clean, minimal UI aligned with the client’s brand
Responsive layout that adapts across all devices
Integrated online booking system via Fresha
Deployed on Netlify for speed and reliability
SEO-friendly structure with Open Graph tags for social sharing
💡 What I Learned
Client collaboration using an agile, feedback-driven process
Working with booking integrations like Fresha
Deploying production-ready websites with Netlify
Importance of design choices in shaping brand perception
This was the very first Python program I ever built — a fun and visual
turtle race simulation using Python's built-in
turtle graphics and random libraries.
🎮 Multiple turtles race across the screen, each moving forward
randomly. The first turtle to cross the finish line wins!
🚀 How It Works
Turtles are drawn on a GUI window using turtle
Each turtle moves forward by a random number of pixels per iteration
The race continues until one turtle reaches the finish line
During the 2023 summer holidays, the transition period from Sixth Form
to University, I decided to learn the programming language Java. I
applied my newly acquired knowledge by building a Spring Boot
application.
Spring Boot (part of the broader Spring Framework) is used to create
production-ready web applications quickly. It's commonly adopted by
large enterprises such as Netflix due to its ability to minimize
boilerplate code, making web development faster and more maintainable.
With Java & Spring Boot, I was able to:
Allow users (customers) to register an account
Enable user login functionality
Implement password reset via email using a unique token in the URL
Store user data securely in a MySQL database
Hash passwords using BCrypt before storing them
Incorporate both JUnit and integration testing
Implement application-level logging
If I were to improve the application further, I would:
Implement session IDs and store them in a NoSQL in-memory DB like
Redis
Enable users to update their profile details
Add functionality to logout and delete their account
Allow users to upload a profile image
I had so much fun learning these technologies — particularly JUnit and
integration testing. Although I initially struggled with testing, I
eventually overcame those challenges, and it became one of the most
rewarding aspects of the entire experience.
During my spare time as a 1st year student at The University of
Leicester, I self-taught JavaScript, followed by Node.js and Express.js.
Once I had a good grasp of these technologies, I developed a full
backend web application built around the theme of Cuban cigars.
With Node.js & Express.js, I implemented the following features:
Allow users (customers) to register an account
Login system with persistent sessions using
passport module
Store user data in a MySQL database
Hash passwords using bcryptjs before storing
Incorporated JUnit-style testing using supertest
Logging implemented using winston
Account deletion functionality
Password change functionality
Secure logout functionality
The frontend of this web application was built in collaboration with
@AaronShinu
As my final year university project, I designed and developed the
University Accommodation Allocation System (UAAS), a full stack web
application built to improve fairness, transparency, and efficiency in
student accommodation allocation.
With React, Node.js, Express.js, and MySQL, I implemented:
Student registration and login functionality
Ranked accommodation preference submission
Admin room management and allocation controls
JWT authentication stored in secure cookies
Role-based access control for student and admin users
Database integrity constraints to prevent duplicate bookings
Automated testing using Jest and Supertest
This project strengthened my knowledge of backend architecture,
authentication, secure session handling, access control, and how
security decisions affect real systems and real users.
